Number plate recognition cameras in Bahrain Know which vehicles come and go.
CamAI vehicle and number plate recognition reads plates at gates, yards, loading bays and car parks, with a log of every vehicle. Built for compounds in Riffa, factories in Sitra and yards at Hidd.

Every vehicle at the gate, read and logged.
Reads vehicles and plates
At gates, yards, loading bays and car parks, on the cameras you already have where they see the plate.
Allow-lists per gate
Keep a list of expected vehicles for each gate or bay. An unknown or unexpected plate sends an alert.
A log with time and clip
Every read is logged with the gate, the time and a saved clip, in the dashboard and the app.
After-hours alerts
A vehicle at a gate or in the yard outside the hours you set sends an alert straight away.
Reads plates. Does not identify people.
CamAI reads the number plate and the vehicle, nothing about the driver. Alerts reach the people you choose by app, WhatsApp, SMS, email or Telegram, each with the gate, the time and the clip.

What you need and how it starts.
01 · Cameras
A camera that sees the plate
IP cameras (RTSP or ONVIF) with a clear view of plates as vehicles slow down. If a gate needs a better-placed camera, we tell you on the visit.
02 · Pilot
Lists, gates and hours set
We set up your allow-lists, gates, working hours and who gets which alert, and test it on your own traffic.
03 · Proposal

How the pilot worksPlate reading for Bahrain gates, yards and car parks
Vehicles are the busiest part of many Bahrain sites: delivery vans at a Salman industrial unit, trucks at a Hidd yard, residents’ cars at a Juffair compound gate.
Vehicle questions from Bahrain sites
Vehicles are the busiest part of many Bahrain sites: delivery vans at a Salman industrial unit, trucks at a Hidd yard, residents’ cars at a Juffair compound gate. CamAI turns the gate camera into a log your security team can read.
A log of every plate
Each vehicle that passes the camera is logged with its plate, the time and a short clip. Security staff can scroll back through the day instead of replaying hours of recorder footage. Plates are read, vehicles are logged, and that is where it stops: the system reads number plates and does not identify the people inside.
Allow-lists for regular vehicles
You keep a list of vehicles that belong: staff cars, regular suppliers, contractor vans, residents’ cars. When a plate is not on it, the guard receives an alert with the clip. For a compound or a factory gate this separates the dozens of expected arrivals from the one that deserves a call to the gatehouse.
After-hours vehicle alerts
Set the hours a yard or loading bay should be quiet, and any vehicle moving in that window raises an alert with the clip. Night supervisors at industrial parks in Sitra or Salman receive it by app, WhatsApp or SMS, and can look calmly at what the camera saw before deciding whether to send someone.
Compound gate in Riffa
A residential compound gate handles residents, visitors, deliveries and maintenance vans all day, and the guard notes plates on paper. The manager wants a time-stamped log with a clip and an alert for a vehicle that is not on the resident list.
Hidd yard after dark
A logistics yard near Hidd is meant to be empty overnight, yet trucks sometimes enter or leave late. The operator wants an alert for any vehicle moving after closing, with the plate and the clip, so the night supervisor can check the camera first.
Loading bay at a Sitra factory
A factory in Sitra receives dozens of supplier vehicles and cannot easily tell which were expected. A log of plates by time, matched against a list of regular suppliers, shows the unfamiliar arrivals at the bay without anyone sitting watching the screen.
Number plate recognition questions from Bahrain
Does it read Bahraini number plates?
It is built to read number plates at gates, yards, loading bays and car parks. We confirm how it performs on Bahraini plates, on your own camera angle and lighting, during the pilot at your site, before you decide. We give no accuracy figure in advance, because the view matters.
Does it identify the driver?
No. The system reads vehicle number plates and keeps a log of the plate, the time and a short clip. It does not identify the people inside the vehicle. Your security team still decides what to do about an alert, and the clip is there so they can check what happened.
Can we keep a list of allowed vehicles?
Yes. You maintain an allow-list for staff cars, regular suppliers, contractors or residents, and an alert goes out for a plate that is not on it. This suits compound gates in Riffa and Isa Town as well as factory gates, where most arrivals are expected and a few are not.
Do we need to replace our gate cameras?
Often not. CamAI works on existing IP cameras over RTSP or ONVIF and your recorder keeps working. Reading plates depends on the angle, distance and lighting, so at the site visit we check each gate view and tell you if one camera needs repositioning or a better lens.
How do we start in Bahrain?
Our team visits your site in Bahrain and looks at the gate or yard. We then run a pilot on your own cameras and send a written proposal. Pricing is by quote, as it depends on the number of lanes and cameras. Alerts reach staff by app, WhatsApp, SMS, email or Telegram.
