License Plate Camera with ANPR – Capture Plates Day & Night - All Questions

Yes, this camera needs a microSD card installed for the ANPR function to work.

Without a microSD card, the camera will still power up and stream excellent quality video. You can use it with our Avalonix NVRs or any ONVIF-compliant NVR just like a regular IP camera. It will capture clear footage of vehicles and license plates day and night.

However, the license plate recognition itself will not function without a microSD card. The camera requires the microSD to process and pass plate data to a compatible Avalonix Premium Series NVR.

So if you only need video, you can run it without a card. If you want ANPR features, a microSD card is required.
