ANPR camera system

ANPR Automatic Charging

Your chargers start themselves.

A camera reads the plate. The system identifies the driver. The charger starts. No app downloads, no RFID cards, no waiting. Just pull up and plug in.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

1

1. Camera captures the plate

Any ANPR camera sends the plate read to Novion via a simple webhook. We support Plate Recognizer, Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Genetec, Adaptive Recognition, Sighthound, OpenALPR, and any camera that can send a JSON payload.

2. System verifies the driver

Novion cross-checks the plate against registered drivers and confirms a valid payment method before taking any action. Plates that are dirty, angled, or faded are handled automatically.

3. Charger starts automatically

The system matches the plate to a registered driver, confirms a payment method is on file, and sends OCPP RemoteStartTransaction. Works with both OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 with automatic protocol fallback.

Smart protection

Built-in safeguards on every read.

Novion applies multiple verification layers before starting a charge β€” protecting CPOs from false starts and ensuring only registered, paying drivers get access.

Per-vehicle verification history

The system tracks each vehicle over time and applies stricter checks to new plates while giving a smoother experience to regular drivers.

Automatic anomaly flagging

Plates that repeatedly fail verification are automatically flagged in the dashboard so you can investigate and take action.

Full audit trail

Every plate read, every verification, every charge event β€” logged with full timestamps and searchable from the admin panel.

Universal compatibility

Works with the camera you already have.

Our universal adapter normalises HTTP POST payloads from any ANPR camera brand into a standard format. No proprietary integrations. No vendor lock-in.
