Using the License Plate Scanner

The app’s built-in License Plate Scanner allows you to capture vehicle information quickly and accurately.

Scanning the License Plate

By using your device’s camera, the app automatically records the license plate number, eliminating manual entry and reducing human error. Once you've completed the scan, it saves both the image and the scanned data to your file.

1. Add the License Plate Scanner in your Mobile app:

You can use the scanner as:

3. Point the camera at the license plate: Hold your device steady and aim the camera directly at the vehicle’s license plate. Make sure the entire plate is visible on your screen.

  • Keep the plate in focus and centered in the frame.
  • Avoid glare, shadows, or obstructions.

  • Clean or wipe the license plate if it’s dirty or obscured.

  • Avoid scanning while the vehicle is moving.

  • Step back slightly if the plate appears cropped on the screen.
