Multiple entrances
Combine several compatible ANPR cameras into one dashboard, with each event clearly tied to the camera that recorded it.
ANPR for farms and private estates
Keep visibility across gates, yards, liveries and private land where vehicle movements can otherwise be difficult to reconstruct after the event.
Self-hosted Hikvision ANPR
A practical vehicle record for rural sites
Farms and estates often have multiple entrances, long periods with no staff at the gate and a mixture of residents, deliveries, contractors, horseboxes, agricultural vehicles and visitors coming and going throughout the day.
When a question is raised later, the useful information is usually simple: which vehicle came in, when it arrived, which entrance it used and whether it was later seen leaving. Ruby ANPR brings those events into one searchable self-hosted portal.
Operational workflow
What Ruby ANPR adds to a rural site
The focus is straightforward monitoring rather than turning the site into a complex control room.
Remote camera heartbeat
A 60-second positioning upload, where supported, helps show whether a quiet gate camera is still checking in.
Self-hosted data
Keep the portal, database and capture evidence on infrastructure you control instead of relying on a hosted ANPR subscription.
Example scenarios
Where the vehicle history becomes useful
Unknown vehicle after hoursA vehicle is noticed on the property late in the evening. Search the approximate time to identify the registration, entrance and available scene images.
Delivery arrival disputeA supplier says a delivery vehicle arrived at a certain time. Search the plate or time window to confirm whether the camera recorded the visit.
Multiple gates across an estateA registration appears at one entrance and later another. Camera names and IN / OUT events help reconstruct the route through the site.
Day-to-day use
A simple rural monitoring workflow
Cameras watch the entrances
Compatible Hikvision ANPR cameras recognise registrations at gates, drives or yard entrances.
Events are stored centrally
Ruby ANPR records the plate, time, camera, direction and supplied evidence.
Heartbeat shows connectivity
Where the camera supports positioning upload, Last Seen can show that a remote camera is still online even on a quiet day.
Staff search when needed
Use a registration, date or camera filter to find the movement without trawling through continuous CCTV footage.
Evidence stays with the event
Review the images supplied by the camera or export filtered data for your own records.
Good fit for
Rural sites with vehicles coming and going throughout the day
✓
Farms and yardsReview deliveries, contractors, staff vehicles and unexpected movements around working yards.
✓
Private estatesMaintain visibility across private roads and multiple entrances without staffing every gate.
✓
Liveries and rural businessesSearch horseboxes, visitors, customers, suppliers and service vehicles when a later question needs answering.
Why self-hosting matters
Useful where connectivity and privacy both matter
Rural deployments can have cameras spread across a property while the Ruby ANPR portal remains hosted centrally on infrastructure you control.
The system is intended to give authorised users a practical evidence trail without turning every camera into a separately managed operator interface.
