The low-cost and effective LPR system for law enforcement, physical security, and parking enforcement.

Smarter vehicle intelligence. Simple deployment. Proven accuracy.

Leonardo’s ELSAG® Video Plate Hunter VPH) gives law enforcement agencies an affordable and effective way to capture vehicle intelligence without the complexity of traditional surveillance systems. Designed to work seamlessly with Leonardo’s License Plate Recognition technology, the VPH combines high-quality video capture with industry-leading OCR accuracy to support investigations, enhance situational awareness, and improve public safety outcomes.

Agencies can deploy the VPH quickly and cost-effectively at fixed locations, temporary sites, or areas of increased activity. The system delivers reliable performance with minimal infrastructure, making it ideal for agencies looking to expand coverage while staying within budget.

High-Accuracy OCR Powered by Machine Learning

At the core of ELSAG Video Security is Leonardo’s proven Optical Character Recognition engine, enhanced by advanced machine learning models trained on millions of real-world images. This technology accurately identifies license plates and vehicle attributes across varying lighting conditions, angles, and speeds.

Each video capture is transformed into searchable, actionable data. Investigators can quickly locate vehicles of interest, review historical activity, and connect evidence across cases with confidence in the accuracy of every read.

Easy to Deploy and Easy to Manage

ELSAG Video Security is designed with operational efficiency in mind. Systems can be installed quickly with minimal site preparation and integrate seamlessly with existing Leonardo LPR deployments.

Once deployed, all video and plate data is securely managed through the ELSAG Enterprise Operations Center (EOC). This centralized platform allows agencies to search, filter, and analyze video and plate reads from a single interface, reducing manual review time and improving investigative workflows.

Video Plate Hunter:
Key Benefits

The VPH uses video from select IP cameras to capture license plate reader data.
The VPH bundle includes all the necessary components to efficiently and effectively deploy the system.
Data captured includes plate number, date stamp, time stamp and GPS coordinates.
The system then instantly compares each license plate number to hot lists to identify suspect vehicles or white lists for permit validation and access control.
LPR data collected by the VPH is sent to the ELSAG Enterprise Operations Center™ (EOC) data management system for analysis and to aid investigations.
