Akuvox RFID vs LPR Comparison

Akuvox leverages Long-Range RFID and License Plate Recognition (LPR/ANPR)

Akuvox offers both RFID and LPR (License Plate Recognition) technologies for vehicle access control, each with distinct advantages. RFID, specifically UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID, offers a lower initial setup cost and good performance for multiple lanes. LPR, on the other hand, provides hands-free access based on registered license plates, often integrating with LPR cameras. Both technologies can be integrated with Akuvox door phones with RFID and LPR or access control terminals with RFID. 

Product Info:

One such Akuvox Intercom with LPR License Plate Recognition is the AV-S912 with the latest firmware installed.

Also with LPR is the AV-R20 Product Range amongst others.

Akuvox RFID

  • Cost-Effective: 
    Generally lower initial setup costs compared to LPR. 
     
  • Multiple Lanes: 
    Well-suited for environments with multiple lanes, minimizing congestion. 
     
  • Range: 
    UHF RFID readers can identify vehicles up to 10 meters away, eliminating the need to stop or roll down windows. 
     
  • Accuracy: 
    RFID technology can reduce inaccuracies from external factors, improving data accuracy. 
     
  • Akuvox Integration: 
    Akuvox offers long-range UHF RFID readers like the ACR-CRP12, which can be integrated with their access control systems. 
     
  • RFID Tags: 
    Vehicles require UHF tags, which can be attached to the windshield. 

Akuvox LPR

  • Hands-free Access:

    LPR enables hands-free vehicle access by recognizing registered license plates. 

     
  • Integration:

    Akuvox integrates with third-party LPR cameras, allowing for seamless access control based on plate recognition. 

     
  • Automation:

    LPR enhances automation for garage entry and exit. 

     
  • Security:

    By integrating with access control systems, LPR can improve security by verifying the vehicle’s identity. 

     
  • Integration Requirements:

    LPR integration requires assigning license plate information to users and configuring the API in the camera. 

     
 

In summary: Choosing between Akuvox RFID and LPR depends on specific needs. RFID is a cost-effective solution for multiple lanes and longer ranges, while LPR offers automated and hands-free access based on license plates. Akuvox provides options to integrate both technologies, allowing for flexible and secure access control solutions.
