CloudRunner ALPR

CloudRunner is a vehicle-centric investigation system (VCIS) that uses the power of vehicle characteristics combined with automatic license plate recognition (ALPR). With CloudRunner, it’s easy to monitor vehicles entering an area or neighborhood with the camera’s highly advanced image processing technology that captures license plates with unrivaled reliability and accuracy.


The CloudRunner Automatic License Plate Recognition sensor system is an advanced vehicle plate capture tool that sustainably runs on renewable solar energy. Cloud-managed in MS Azure and accessed via web browser, this server-less solution virtually eliminates maintenance while remaining inherently mobile.

Go from Installation to Capturing Vehicle Data in Minutes

  • EVERYTHING needed included in a simple unified interface—hardware, software, configuration, support, and more.
  • Simply install your CR-H2 camera and call the CloudRunner dedicated support line. Our experts will configure and optimize your setup.
  • No servers, software, cell service plans, or any other headaches.
  • Includes 90 days of FIFO cloud storage; infinite scalability.
  • Never go back out to bid to replace ALPR camera sensors again. If it breaks, an advance replacement is on its way—at no cost

Collect More Vehicle Information

CloudRunner, combined with CR-H2 solar-powered cameras, goes beyond just capturing license plate data by analyzing vehicle characteristics, like color and type, as well as vehicle behaviors.

Intuitive software with powerful reporting tools to help you rapidly identify vehicles of interest

  • Fully hosted and configured in minutes – no servers, IT personnel, or certification needed
  • Hotlist management with real-time alerts when wanted vehicles are detected
  • High-quality sensor for accurate reads day and night, rain or shine
  • Solar-powered ALPR camera (CR-H2) with built-in 4G/LTE and GPS for flexible deployment
  • Designed to transmit vehicle data continuously, significantly reducing latency

How It Works: A Hybrid Approach

  • The CloudRunner ALPR camera has a built-in Deep Neural Network (DNN) that recognizes vehicles and takes a snapshot.
  • The vehicle context image and license plate image is sent to the CloudRunner cloud, where vehicle analytics are processed. Default data retention is 90 days.
  • Vehicle data is accessed in the CloudRunner web portal, where users can manage hotlists, review reads and hits, and perform investigations.

Reduce Costs

Being cloud-based alleviates your IT maintenance costs. Genetec takes care of ensuring that your Cloudrunner solution is up and running properly and will update the software as new features become available to you.

Use Less Power

Utilizing a hybrid approach allows for a camera that consumes far less power than traditional purpose-built ALPR cameras. This design enhances the camera’s ability to work even on cloudy or rainy days.

Get Data In Real-Time

The CloudRunner analytics server is updated automatically, providing customers with a seamless, real-time update experience.

The CloudRunner Portal

The CloudRunner web portal provides easy access to the data you need to close your investigation faster. It allows live monitoring, hotlist management, personalized views, report extraction, and more. The convenient yet reliable web link facilitates convenient analysis of compiled data and fast report generation.
