AutoVu™ SharpZ3
Mobile ALPR system
The SharpZ3 is a mobile ALPR system that looks
beyond the license plate to help you understand
what’s happening in your city and installations.

Designed to take full advantage of machine learning technology

Built with three sensors to capture more information about the

vehicle and environment
Suite of vehicle analytics, including vehicle type and color
recognition, plate origin and more
Flexible architecture that allows you to add or replace modules as
your needs evolve.
