The power of information
Civica has been at the forefront with ANPR for years, helping police and other authorities deliver improved policing.

Whether overt or covert, our systems are widely used in static, portable and in-vehicle operations to provide rapid response and improved detection. Industry-leading software delivers read rates in excess of 98% at vehicle speeds of up to 100mph. Number plates can be checked against any number of databases, triggering a variety of actions. Monitoring multiple lanes in hot, cold, dry or wet environments, day or night, Civica’s ANPR works when and where needed.

Vehicle Enquiry Manager software supports a range of Civica and third-party ANPR solutions in over half of the UK’s police forces and many other organisations. The latest version, VENOM, is scalable from standalone laptop deployment to large, multi-server architectures with many cameras and integration with existing CCTV systems. Working with other industry-leading products, VENOM can be deployed in a variety of fully integrated solutions:

  • Rugged laptop solution supporting multiple infrared, colour or monochrome cameras without performance degradation
  • Fully e-marked solution built for vehicle deployment
  • Integrated and highly configurable CCTV / ANPR van
  • Turnkey fixed camera solution for monitoring specific sites


“We carried out a detailed procurement, testing each ANPR system during operations. Civica was chosen on the performance of the system and because it provided an effective, value for money solution to our needs.”
