LPR Camera: Access Control System Integration Demo with Arduino via Wiegand

In this video, Mike Haldas from CCTV Camera Pros, delves into the integration of Viewtron license plate recognition (LPR) cameras with third-party access control systems using the Wiegand protocol. This in-depth tutorial is designed to assist viewers in understanding how to enhance their existing gate and access control systems by incorporating license plate recognition technology.

Mike begins by explaining the Wiegand protocol, a widely-used communication protocol in access control systems that employs three wires for transmitting a facility ID and a card ID. Traditionally used with keypads and card readers, this protocol is now available on Viewtron LPR cameras. The motivation for this integration comes from a real-world scenario: a gated HOA community in Palm Beach County looking to upgrade their current barcode-based gate access system to one that integrates license plate recognition, thus improving the security and convenience for residents and visitors.

Mike provides a step-by-step demonstration of how to connect the Viewtron LPR camera to an access control system that supports 26-bit Wiegand, using an Arduino board as the interface. Viewers get an inside look at the software setup, the process of associating license plates with unique access control card IDs, and how these interactions determine access permissions. Mike shows how the system responds to unrecognized plates by denying access and how it grants access when a recognized plate is detected and associated with an authorized ID.
