AVA-X number plate recognition on real traffic—play when you are ready.

Deep dive

Advanced number plate recognition

Safeza AVA-X reads plates from static cameras or fast moving vehicles, even in rain, glare, or night. Wildcard queries such as "ZH‑42*" pull months of archived matches in seconds, while hot‑lists raise silent or visible alarms. Models are trained at Safeza AVA-X so new country or specialty plate formats can be added.

Reads plates from static cameras or fast moving vehicles

Advanced motion compensation technology ensures accurate plate recognition whether vehicles are stationary or traveling at high speeds. Our system captures clear, readable plates from fixed surveillance cameras and mobile units, delivering reliable results across all traffic scenarios.
