South African ANPR crime intelligence

Catch the vehicle.
Help solve the crime.
Make life safer.

IotNet connects ANPR cameras, real-time alerts and movement history so the people protecting communities can find suspect vehicles faster—and turn a camera read into a useful lead.

Why vehicle intelligence matters

Crime is disruptive.
The right lead can bring life back.

A vehicle can connect a person to a place, a time and an incident. IotNet helps authorised teams recognise that connection sooner, understand where the vehicle travelled and act with better context.

See the intelligence workflow
1
RECORD

Describe the vehicle and why it matters

Capture the incident, operational instruction, risk and authorised circulation level.

2
DETECT

Recognise it when it passes a camera

Match the registration and deliver plate and overview evidence with the right context.

3
UNDERSTAND

Turn separate sightings into a movement story

Review the timeline, map, imagery and movement trail as one investigation.

One connected workflow

From the moment a vehicle appears
to the questions that follow.

Live response and investigation work together, so users spend less time switching between tools and more time understanding what matters.

Vehicle of interest detected

Incident context, location, time, plate confidence and camera evidence are presented together.

INVESTIGATION

Build the vehicle's story

32 detections
01

See the alert clearly

Registration, alert level, incident context, time, location, plate crop and overview image arrive together.

02

Investigate in one place

Search a full or partial plate and move between timeline, map, gallery and movement analysis.

03

Keep intelligence useful

Add context, maintain case notes, review hotlist entries and remove information that is no longer relevant.

What success looks like

The outcome is not another alert.

It is a vehicle recovered, a family reassured, a suspect identified or a case moved one useful step forward.

Explore the use cases

Built around real cases

Different incidents.
One vehicle intelligence picture.

IotNet supports practical workflows without turning every detection into noise. Teams decide what matters, who may see it and what should happen when it reappears.

STOLEN & HIJACKED VEHICLES

Recognise a vehicle when recovery may still be possible.

Circulate the registration with the incident details and response instruction the recipient needs.

Recovery
ARMED ROBBERY & BURGLARY

Connect a suspect vehicle to later sightings.

Investigation
REPEAT RETAIL CRIME

Spot recurring vehicles across sites and incidents.

Pattern
WANTED PERSONS & SAFEGUARDING

Share only the context appropriate to the user's role.

Controlled access
FALSE OR CLONED PLATES

Protect the quality of the intelligence.

Administrators can report a misread so it no longer distracts users, while investigators can flag suspected cloning for human verification.

Verification

Technology that supports judgement

Give investigators a clearer place to think.

IotNet brings detections, visual evidence, hotlist context, movement history and the case diary into one investigative workspace. The platform organises the evidence; trained people decide what it means.

  • Search with an auditable operational reason
  • Expand detections into plate and overview evidence
  • Move naturally between timeline, map and movement trail
  • Keep working notes with the vehicle investigation

Works with the network you are building

Your cameras.
One intelligence picture.

IotNet can receive detections from supported ANPR sources and standardise them into a shared operational workflow.

Capability with accountability

Useful intelligence should also be well governed.

Controls are designed into the workflow so access, searches and hotlist decisions can be understood and reviewed.

01

Named, protected accounts

Authenticator-based two-factor login helps protect access and maintain a meaningful user trail.

02

Role and sensitivity controls

Alert classifications help restrict sensitive entries to appropriately authorised users.

03

Auditable investigation

Search reasons, sign-ins and relevant system actions can be recorded for review.

04

Information lifecycle

Review, expiry and removal-request workflows help prevent stale intelligence remaining active without reason.
