Your existing ANPR cameras,
managed from anywhere
ANPR Guardian connects your customers' existing ANPR camera systems to the EM8 Portal through a compact hub device — giving full remote visibility, whitelist management, live event feeds, and access control from a single platform. No camera replacements. No disruption.
Bring your existing ANPR
cameras under control
ANPR Guardian doesn't replace your customers' cameras — it connects them. A compact hub device installs on-site and bridges existing ANPR systems to the EM8 Portal, unlocking full remote management from any browser or the EM8 HQ app.
ANPR cameras without
remote management
Most ANPR sites are managed from on-site software or require a VPN. ANPR Guardian changes that.
Without ANPR Guardian
- ✗ Whitelist changes require a site visit or VPN
- ✗ Entry and exit logs held locally — not accessible remotely
- ✗ No central view across multiple ANPR sites
- ✗ Blacklist alerts with no remote notification system
- ✗ Camera faults discovered only when access fails
- ✗ Each site managed in isolation from different software
With ANPR Guardian
- ✓ Whitelist and blacklist updates from any browser
- ✓ Full entry and exit log accessible from portal and app
- ✓ All sites, all event feeds — one portal login
- ✓ Instant push alerts for blacklisted or denied plates
- ✓ Hub health and connection status monitored continuously
- ✓ Sits alongside Surveillance Guardian, Tracking Guardian, and the full EM8 suite
Everything managed
from one portal
Remote Portal Management
Manage every ANPR site from the EM8 Portal web dashboard. No on-site visits, no VPN, no local software — everything accessible from any browser.
Whitelist Management
Add, edit, and remove approved vehicle registrations per site directly from the portal. Changes take effect immediately — no delay, no site visit required.
Blacklist & Instant Alerts
Maintain a blacklist of vehicles to deny entry. When a blacklisted plate is detected, an instant alert is pushed to the EM8 HQ mobile app and portal.
Visitor Pre-Approval
Add expected visitors to a time-limited approved list from the portal before they arrive. No on-site manual intervention needed for visitor access.
Access Control Rules
Configure access rules per site — approved vehicles, time-based restrictions, visitor windows, and denial behaviour — all managed from the portal.
Alert Escalation Rules
Set escalation rules per site — alert an engineer after 5 minutes, a manager after 15, a client after 30. Push notifications via EM8 HQ app and email.
Multi-Site Dashboard
All ANPR sites across all customers visible from a single portal login. Switch between sites, compare event volumes, and manage access rules without logging in separately anywhere.
Customer Self-Service
Grant customers access to manage their own whitelists and view their own event logs through the portal — reducing support requests and empowering site managers.
Shared with Surveillance Guardian
Where a site already has a Surveillance Guardian hub installed, the ANPR Guardian module can be added without additional hardware — one hub, both products.
One hub.
Both products.
ANPR Guardian and Surveillance Guardian share the same underlying hub architecture. Where a site already has a Surveillance Guardian hub installed, the ANPR module can be added without deploying additional hardware.
Designed for fire & security
installers
Any site where ANPR cameras are installed but managed locally or without remote oversight.
Car Parks & Controlled Parking
Car parks and controlled parking estates already using ANPR cameras for access — brought under remote management without changing any hardware.
Industrial & Commercial Sites
Industrial and commercial sites with dedicated ANPR entry/exit points. Remote whitelist control for contractors and delivery vehicles.
Hospitals & Public Sector
Schools, hospitals, and public sector premises with existing ANPR infrastructure — managed remotely with full audit trail and blacklist alerting.
Gated Developments
Gated residential and commercial developments. Residents on the whitelist, visitors pre-approved from the portal. No on-site manual intervention.
Logistics & Distribution
Logistics and distribution hubs with vehicle access control requirements. Track movements, manage approved hauliers, log every entry and exit.
Retail Parks & Leisure
Retail parks and leisure centres managing high-volume vehicle throughput — event feeds, access rules, and alerts from a single portal dashboard.
Live in six steps.
No camera changes.
Deploys alongside your customer's existing ANPR infrastructure — no disruption to the existing setup.
Order the Hub
Order an ANPR Guardian hub — or where the site already has a Surveillance Guardian hub, enable the ANPR module on the existing device.
Install On-Site
Install the hub on-site and connect it to the existing ANPR camera network. No changes to cameras or existing cabling.
Activate via Portal
Activate the hub through the EM8 Portal using the serial number and activation code. The hub registers and syncs automatically.
Configure Access Rules
Configure the whitelist, blacklist, and access control rules for the site from the portal. No on-site visits needed for any future changes.
Set Up Alerts
Set up alert escalation rules and grant the customer their own portal access if required. Configurable per site.
Go Live
The site is live — all ANPR events flow into the portal in real time, accessible from the dashboard and EM8 HQ app.
