Britannia Parking has designed, installed, and managed ANPR car park systems for over 25 years, making us one of the UK's leading and most established ANPR parking management companies. Thanks to our ANPR car parking systems, we turn spare or unmonetised land into profit, while also giving the public and staff members secure places to park their car.
Partnering with private landowners, councils, and agents, we provide ANPR car parking systems for airports, council car parks, and private businesses such as supermarkets, pubs and hotels. With big names like Red Funnel, Liverpool Victoria, Lush, and Greene King pubs in our portfolio, we are a trusted partner – and one of the biggest ANPR parking management system providers in the UK. With the help of an ANPR system, we helped to turn a temporary car park in Poole into a permanent one.

ANPR FAQs
What is an ANPR system?
ANPR stands for Automatic Number Plate Recognition. Using cameras and character recognition, the technology reads vehicle number plates without human intervention.
How do ANPR cameras work on car parks?
ANPR cameras automatically read number plates, recording a vehicle’s entry and exit into a car park. If someone has already paid online, the ANPR system will be able to read the number plate, send it to a database, and signal for the barrier to open. It can also detect if the system hasn’t received a payment from a vehicle, making it easy to monitor payments and parking charges.
How accurate are ANPR systems?
ANPR systems are generally very accurate, with recognition rates exceeding 95% in ideal conditions. The accuracy can be affected by factors such as the quality of the camera image, the lighting conditions, and the type of licence plate being scanned. However, most modern ANPR systems are designed to capture high-quality images and continue to function effectively even in low visibility situations, so this is less of an issue than it used to be with older models.
What are the benefits of using ANPR in private car parks?
ANPR offers several benefits for car park operators, including:
- Improved efficiency: ANPR automates entry and exit processes, reducing queues and wait times.
- Enhanced security: ANPR helps prevent unauthorised vehicles from accessing the car park.
- Accurate billing: ANPR ensures accurate parking fees are charged based on actual usage.
- Contactless payment: Integration with payment systems allows for seamless contactless payments.
- Data collection: ANPR data can provide insights into car park usage patterns, helping you optimise ticket prices and space allocation.
How much do ANPR systems cost?
The cost of an ANPR system depends on a number of factors, including the size of the car park, the specifications of the camera technology you require, and any ongoing management. Britannia Parking will be able to provide you with a tailored quote for your requirements, which will include the cost of any equipment and installation. If you would like a quote to start monetising your land, send us a message via our online contact form.
What is the function of an ANPR camera?
An ANPR camera carries out optical character recognition, which means it takes a photo of your license plate, sends it to its recognition software, and then passes on your number plate details to the relevant software for processing. It means car park owners can see who’s using the car park and how regularly. It also means vehicles that have paid can be automatically admitted and vehicles that haven’t paid can be caught on exit.
