efficient traffic routes. This forward-thinking approach improves
the overall experience for those on campus.
Finally, consider how ALPR can strengthen your ties with local
law enforcement. Police monitoring a vehicle linked to an incident
off campus can rely on the campus’s ALPR system to alert them
if that vehicle appears on campus. Officers can respond quickly if
the ALPR system detects a vehicle of interest. This potentially pre-
vents further incidents and aids agencies in ongoing investigations.

There are a few key considerations to keep in mind when selecting
the right ALPR system for your campus.
· Accuracy - Can the cameras capture quality images in diverse
weather and light conditions? Are the reads accurate from various
angles? At what speeds can we gather accurate readings? These
are all questions you should ask your solution provider.
· Mobility - High-quality solutions allow you to deploy mobile
ALPR cameras. This means that a patrol vehicle can effectively enforce
parking lots using ALPR cameras mounted on the exterior. Select ALPR
solutions also offer mobile phone connectivity, converting your phone
into a helpful enforcement tool. You can securely access your ALPR

system and verify parking permissions or hotlists while on the go.
· Analytics and operation software - Analytics provided at the
edge deliver real-time insights. These analytics include plate num-
bers, vehicle type, color, date, time, and location. You’ll also want
easy-to-understand reports that enable you and your colleagues
to use available data to make informed decisions.
· Data privacy and security - Look for a solution that encrypts
data, stores it securely, and complies with privacy regulations. ALPR
systems gather vehicle information but do not record personal
identity details. Still, you should ensure transparency with stake-
holders regarding how you use this data. You can do this either via
posted signage or online policies.

The future of campus security depends on breaking down the
barriers between departments. ALPR systems are a great starting
point for accomplishing this. Their ability to meet multiple campus
objectives opens the door to enhanced security, efficiency, and col-
laboration. By applying ALPR technology across campus, you can
enhance your situational awareness while improving the overall
campus experience.
