Solar Powered Portable Plate Readers | Leonardo Street Sentry

The ELSAG Street Sentry Solar-Powered LPR Expands Coverage Efficiently

This advanced fixed license plate recognition system is compact, easy to deploy and affordable. It is solar-powered and ideal for city and neighborhood streets and it uses the same powerful OCR engine that law enforcement has relied on for decades.

Leonardo’s solar-powered License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems deliver dependable vehicle detection without the need for grid power or complicated installation. They are ideal for agencies that want to expand LPR coverage quickly, affordably, and with minimal disruption. Whether placed in a neighborhood, school zone, a parking lot, or a temporary enforcement zone, these systems provide the same trusted performance as our fixed LPR platforms while reducing setup time and cost.

Each solar-powered unit uses Leonardo’s proven Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine, supported by machine learning models trained on millions of plate images. This technology ensures an exceptionally high rate of plate-read accuracy in all lighting and weather conditions. The system captures, processes, and transmits every read securely to provide actionable vehicle intelligence that supports faster investigations and stronger public safety outcomes.

Key Advantages of a Solar-Powered LPR System:

Easy to Deploy
Installation takes minutes and requires no power cables, trenching, or complex network setup. Units are self-contained and ready to operate immediately.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Eliminate electrical and communication infrastructure costs. Solar operation lowers long-term expenses and simplifies maintenance.

High-Accuracy OCR with Machine Learning
Leonardo’s OCR technology identifies plates with precision, even when vehicles are moving or plates are dirty, angled, or partially obscured.

Portable and Scalable
Relocate units as needs change or add coverage where permanent installations are impractical. Ideal for temporary assignments, construction areas, or special events.

Seamless Data Integration
All captured plate data is securely transmitted to the ELSAG® Enterprise Operations Center (EOC) software for centralized analysis, storage, and sharing across departments.

"Our LPR system allows us to police both proactively and reactively. It helps to prevent crime in our city and when crime does occur, it enables us to arrest violators. ELSAG LPR helps us provide a safe and secure environment for our residents and visitors alike."

J. Sarkos, Chief of Police, Atlantic City, NJ

The ELSAG Street Sentry is a stationary LPR that economically aids law enforcement with real-time vehicle interdiction and investigations.

It is an autonomous system meaning its own power source is included, both solar and battery. Agencies will find suspect vehicles faster with a single deployment of the ELSAG Street Sentry. Its low cost also allows for multi-site deployments that create an LPR safety net in any community.

The Street Sentry is:

Reliable: High quality, purpose-built camera, housing, and solar panel designed to withstand inclement weather and time.

Deployable: This pole-mounted LPR needs no additional power source. Can be placed anywhere in a community that needs an LPR.

Affordable: Accessible to every agency with options to purchase up front, finance over multiple years or subscribe annually. Your choice!

Manageable: Flexible data management and storage with the option to upload to your server or ours.

Scalable: Highly effective at identifying suspect vehicles with just one unit or create a safety net with multiple installations.

At Leonardo, we believe in giving you options that best fit your budget. Customers can purchase the Street Sentry upfront, spread the payments out over multiple years or subscribe annually. See all the options on our How to Buy page.
