OpenALPR free license?

[d.lux]

Sorry for the post, but how does one register for a "free" OpenALPR license?

I can't seem to get this figured out?

Finally got around to installing my HFW5231E-Z12E and the "trial" of OpenALPR expired...

Is there such thing as a free license?

Thanks for any input

Yes, their "Watchman" service is free. It allows for 2 days of plate retention. Then use the "LPR Downloader" to automate the importation of the license plate data, and the "LPR Viewer" to catalog and view the data.

As you start to build your own local database and build the needed Visual Studio applications, just manually download and save the CSV files every 2 days. Once you are set up then you can import them.

OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

Updated 2021.08.20 Both Downloader and Viewer have been updated. Most changes relate to being able to pull from the local web-server as well as the cloud CSV to allow much faster imports and thus alerts. Tied into this improvements made to alerting, searching, backups, etc. Please see This...

Ah, I got it working although it appears the Watchdog is no longer "free".

I got an email reply telling me to use the open source LPR software...

I need to fine tune the night mode parameters, although so far so good

Thanks for the dev work on the database tools, very cool

@d.lux

Any reason you went with the 5231 and not the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? I'm debating between the two right now.

Thanks!

Hi @emde2

I chose the 5231 due to the spec stating 60fps vs 30 and the "distance" on the IR

Hope this helps
