MPH-900^® ANPR Applications > Recovered Number Plates and Vehicles

Stolen vehicle recovery is on the rise for law enforcement agencies using the MPH-900® Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology. In April 2008 a police force specialist car crime unit trialed the MPH-900® Automatic Number Plate Reader. The ANPR system reads up to 1,500 plates per minute, alerting police officers within milliseconds when it identifies a read as a stolen vehicle.

The MPH-900® ANPR assists officers with crime prevention, detection andreduction, and property recovery.

A U.S. trial ran from April to December 2008 and assisted in:
• Recovery of 78 stolen vehicles
• Twenty-three insurance companies recovering vehicles before claims were paid

After the trial the MPH-900® was purchased to continue the evaluation
• In the first five months in 2009, the MPH-900 read 405,295 number plates—
accurately
• On average, the system read 81,059 plates per month
• Assisted in the recovery of 89 stolen vehicles
• Assisted 38 insurance companies by recovering vehicles before claims were paid
