License-plate recognition camera system.
Gobi adds license-plate recognition (LPR) to RTSP cameras you already own. Every plate at every gate logged, searchable, and ready to trigger automations.
Takes 2–3 minutes · No credit card required
- Works with existing RTSP cameras
- Flat pricing — no per-camera fees
- Setup typically under 1 hour
Used by: construction sites, municipalities, farms, and multi-site operations.
What it does
- Reads plates from any reasonable-quality RTSP stream pointed at a chokepoint
- Logs every read with timestamp, camera, snapshot and plate text
- Search by plate or partial plate across all sites
- Trigger automations on a known plate (open gate, notify ops)
How it works
LPR runs as part of the Gobi pipeline. Frames containing motion in the configured zone are sent to the recognizer; reads are written to the same event log as other AI events. No extra LPR camera or appliance required.
Where it fits
Common at lease-road gates, construction entry points, parking lots, weighbridges and city depots.
The five things people ask first.
Will this work with my cameras?
If they expose RTSP on the local network — yes, almost always. Run the compatibility check.
Do I need IT to install it?
No. One small node, plugged into power and the network. Outbound-only — no port forwarding, no VPN, no static IPs.
Is it expensive?
Flat per node, not per camera. Most single-site deployments land between $49 and $199/month. See pricing.
What happens to my data?
You own it. Cameras stay private by default. Data lives in your tenant. Export anytime. Privacy & security overview.
How long does setup take?
A typical single-site deployment is under one hour from node power-on to live dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special LPR camera?
No. Most reasonable-quality fixed cameras pointed at a gate or chokepoint work. Lighting and angle matter more than the camera brand.
Can it open a gate?
Yes — on the Automate tier, a recognized plate can trigger a Node-RED/MQTT flow that drives a relay or API call.
Does Gobi work with my existing cameras?
Yes. If your cameras stream RTSP (most IP cameras and NVRs do), Gobi can usually pull them in without replacing hardware.
Is Gobi priced per camera?
No. Gobi uses flat per-node pricing. You can grow your camera footprint without growing the bill.
How fast do AI events appear?
AI motion events typically appear in the searchable log within 5–12 seconds of being captured.
Do I need port forwarding or special IT setup?
No. The Gobi node creates an outbound connection to the cloud. No inbound ports, no VPN, no static IPs required.
How long does setup take?
A typical single-site deployment is under one hour once the node has internet and the cameras are reachable on the local network.
