License Plate Recognition System

The Digital Backbone of Modern Access Management

Watermelon’s license plate recognition system represents a fundamental shift from mechanical hardware to a cloud-based digital architecture. By combining modular terminals with advanced Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) and a suite of intelligent software, we provide building owners with a system that is faster, more reliable, and significantly cheaper to operate than traditional alternatives.

Hardware Built for the Future

Our license plate recognition system is designed with zero moving parts, eliminating the mechanical failures common in legacy systems.

Each terminal is modular and can be configured as an Entry, Exit, or Pay on Foot (POF) station depending on your site’s specific requirements.

Touchless Terminals

Featuring 10-inch touch screens and an Android operating system for a familiar, smartphone-like user interface.

Integrated with Genetec’s AutoVu SharpV cameras to provide a seamless “windows up” experience with hardware-accelerated processing that works even when connectivity is unavailable.

Every terminal includes an NFC reader for mobile wallets (Apple/Google Pay), a QR code scanner for validations, and a credit card reader for both contactless and insert payments.

Encased in a black powder coat finish with an outdoor weather-proof hood and security door locks for maximum protection in any environment.

A Software Ecosystem That Evolves

Watermelon’s license plate recognition system is driven by a cloud-based software ecosystem that provides owners with a professional suite of management tools.

This “evergreen” solution ensures your facility continues to improve as new features are released.

Business Intelligence

Pulls real-time data from every car park into a central dashboard for accurate reconciliation and detailed reports on operational insights.
