The Ubiquiti UniFi AI License Plate Reader Camera – Black (UVC-AI-LPR-B) is a purpose-built surveillance solution engineered to capture and recognize vehicle license plates with high accuracy and speed. Designed specifically for deployment in traffic monitoring zones, gated entrances, parking lots, and access control environments, this camera is a critical tool for enhancing site security and automation through AI-driven analytics and 4K video clarity.
Equipped with a 4K (3840 x 2160) ultra-high-definition sensor, the UVC-AI-LPR-B delivers sharp, detailed video ideal for identifying license plates at various speeds and lighting conditions. Its optimized lens and sensor configuration are calibrated specifically for plate detection, allowing it to capture clear, legible images of moving vehicles day or night. The system can accurately detect and log plate information even in high-contrast or fast-moving scenes, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic outdoor environments.
What sets this model apart is its advanced onboard AI engine that performs automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) locally on the device. This edge-based processing eliminates reliance on cloud services, reducing latency and preserving privacy. With the UniFi Protect platform, users can configure real-time alerts, review plate capture history, and filter events by license plate matches. This makes it a powerful tool for applications such as vehicle access control, incident tracking, and perimeter monitoring.
The camera features a rugged IP67-rated housing designed for outdoor installation in all weather conditions. Its durable black finish helps reduce reflection and glare, further supporting accurate plate detection. The camera is typically mounted near gates, driveways, or roadways, and is best positioned for vehicles moving at low to moderate speeds. Built-in IR night vision ensures reliable detection in complete darkness, while its AI model is trained to compensate for variations in plate design, region, and orientation.
Like all UniFi cameras, the UVC-AI-LPR-B is fully integrated into the UniFi Protect ecosystem. It supports seamless pairing with UniFi NVRs, cloud gateways, and the UniFi Protect software interface, enabling centralized video management, secure footage retention, and intuitive user control. Users can assign specific actions or alerts based on license plate detection—such as opening gates, logging vehicle entries, or flagging unauthorized access attempts.
For security professionals, property managers, and organizations that require precise vehicle monitoring and access automation, the Ubiquiti UniFi AI License Plate Reader Camera – Black (UVC-AI-LPR-B) delivers a powerful, intelligent surveillance experience that’s secure, scalable, and easy to deploy.
