Secure AI for smart parking.

Read every licence plate your cameras capture — plate, region, make, model and colour, returned from a single API call in real time.

Automatic licence plate and vehicle recognition for valet, parking and access control through one REST API. Live dashboards, usage metering and monthly billing built in.

Platform

One image in. Everything about the vehicle out.

Specialised deep-learning models for licence plates and vehicles, packaged as an API and an operations console your team can use on day one.

Plate detection & OCR

Finds the plate anywhere in the frame and reads every character, with a confidence score and up to three alternative reads.

GCC region tuning

Hint the engine with Qatar, Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman or a specific emirate to lock onto local plate formats.

Make, model & colour

Identifies the vehicle itself — make, model, colour and body type — from the same image, at no extra cost.

Direction & position

Front or rear orientation plus pixel boxes for the plate and the vehicle, ready for overlays and audits.

Camera & driver tagging

Tag every scan with the camera, lane or valet stand and the driver who took it, then filter by either.

Real-time REST API

Send a photo, get structured JSON back. Idempotent requests, clear error codes, retry-safe by design.

Live operations console

Every read streams into your dashboard: recognition log, repeat vehicles, drivers, locations map and CSV exports.

Usage metering & billing

Watch scans and spend per day and per API key. Charged monthly to your card — no surprises.

Geo-tagged scans

Attach GPS coordinates to each read and see every venue on a live map of your operation.

Built for the GCC

Gulf plates. Gulf operators.

Platesight is built for operators in the region — for the plate formats, the currencies and the way venues in the Gulf actually work.

01
Tuned for Gulf plates

Region hints for Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and each UAE emirate, so local formats are read the way they're issued.

02
Billed in your currency

Pay per scan in QAR, AED, SAR or USD, charged to your card monthly with a proper invoice.

03
Made for valet & parking

Driver app onboarding by QR code, per-stand cameras and a live console built around how Gulf valet and parking operators actually run.

04
You decide what's kept

Choose how long vehicle photos are stored — 7 days to a year, or keep them — and they're deleted automatically.

Use cases

Built for vehicles in motion.

Valet operators

Snap the car at drop-off; the ticket fills itself with plate, make, model and colour.

Parking & garages

Ticketless entry and exit, overstay detection and a searchable log of every vehicle.

Access control

Gated communities, campuses and logistics yards — log and verify every arrival.

Fleet & logistics

Track yard movements and match vehicles to jobs without manual entry.

Car wash & service

Recognise returning customers at the bay and attach history to every visit.

Pricing

Pay only for what you scan.

No seat licences, no hardware, no model to train. Usage is metered live in your dashboard and charged automatically to your card each month — you always see exactly what you've used.

Data security

Your vehicles, your data.

Licence plates are personal data. Security isn't a feature we added — it's how the platform is built, from the database up.

Every hop encrypted (TLS)Photos auto-deleted on your scheduleEvery admin action audit-logged
Encrypted in transit and at rest

TLS with HSTS on every request; databases and image storage encrypted at rest.

Tenant isolation

Row-level security on every table — one customer's vehicles are never visible to another.

Hashed API keys

Keys are shown once and stored only as SHA-256 hashes. Scope them per app or site and revoke instantly.

Private image storage

Photos sit in a private bucket and are only viewable through signed links that expire within the hour.

Automatic data retention

Set a retention period and photos are permanently deleted every night once they pass it.

Full audit trail

Every pricing, key, team and billing change is logged with who made it and what changed.

Abuse protection

Per-key rate limits, upload size and type checks, and replay-safe requests on every endpoint.

Card data never touches us

Cards are collected and stored by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1) with 3-D Secure.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What counts as a billable scan?

Each image the AI analyses and returns a plate for. Engine errors are never billed, and retries with the same request ID are free.

How am I charged?

Usage is metered live. On the 1st of every month last month's total is charged to the card on file and the receipt is emailed to you.

Can I integrate it with my existing VPMS or app?

Yes. It's a plain REST API with an API key header — and your VPMS can report and reconcile monthly usage through the usage endpoint.

Do you offer volume pricing?

Yes. High-throughput sites get graduated per-scan pricing — tell us your expected volume in the access form.

How long do you keep vehicle photos?

You choose: 7, 30, 90 or 365 days, or keep them. Expired photos are deleted automatically every night; plate and time records stay for your logs.

Who can see our data?

Your team, plus the infrastructure providers that run the service under contract — never other customers. Every record is isolated to your workspace at the database level, and photos are only reachable through short-lived signed links. Our subprocessor list is part of the data-processing agreement.

Where is our data stored?

Your scan records, photos and dashboards are stored in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). Need data kept in-country? Talk to us about a dedicated deployment.
