Built for gates and checkpoints you control
VisuDock Live OCR is made for private property and authorized checkpoints, where you want a reliable log of who came and went, or a watch-list that raises an alert.
How it works
From download to your first reading in a few minutes. Read the docs.
Connect your cameras
Add RTSP or ONVIF IP cameras (one click can scan your network for ONVIF cameras), a webcam, or an HLS / MJPEG stream.
Choose what to read
Switch between Text OCR and License Plates. Add keywords, patterns or a plate blacklist, and draw a scan box around the gate area.
Start Scanning
Readings are checked live. Matches raise alerts, plates go into a daily vehicle register, and everything is saved on your PC.
Everything you need at a gate
One Windows application, with no cloud account to set up.
Text OCR
Read signs, labels, serial numbers and on-screen text. Match keywords and patterns (regex) and get alerted.
License plate recognition
Read vehicle plates (ANPR / number plate recognition), keep a plate blacklist, and set the accuracy level you want.
Vehicle register
A daily log with entry and exit gates, a photo with each record, repeat filtering, search, CSV export, and auto-delete after 7, 15 or 30 days.
Works with your cameras
RTSP and ONVIF cameras and NVRs, webcams, HLS and MJPEG streams, image folders, video files and screen capture.
Up to 6 cameras at once
A live grid view shows every camera, and each camera has its own scan box and entry or exit role.
Scan box
Draw a box so only the gate or sign area is read. It is faster and gives fewer false readings.
Alerts
Sound, desktop notification, email (Gmail) and Telegram, plus a short evidence clip when a blacklisted plate appears.
Save and listen
Optionally save scanned text to daily text files, or have new text read aloud as it appears.
Private by design
Recognition runs on your computer. No video, image, plate or text is uploaded to us.
Your video never leaves your PC
Many camera tools send your footage to a cloud service. VisuDock Live OCR does the opposite.
- Recognition runs on your own computer, so it keeps working on a private network.
- No video, images, plate numbers or scanned text are uploaded to us.
- Your records and photos stay in a folder on your PC, and you choose when they are deleted automatically.
- The license check sends only a hashed PC ID, the app version and your license status.

Responsible use
VisuDock Live OCR is for lawful use on private property, residential gates, and authorized industrial or commercial checkpoints under your control. It must not be used to harvest or track plates of general public traffic on public roads or neighbouring properties. You are responsible for following the surveillance, privacy and data-protection laws that apply where you operate. See our Terms of Service.
Frequently asked questions
Does my video leave my computer?
No. Recognition runs on your own PC. Only a hashed PC ID, the app version and your license status are sent for the license check. See the Privacy Policy.
Which cameras does it work with?
RTSP and ONVIF IP cameras and NVRs, webcams, HLS and MJPEG streams, image folders, video files and screen capture. H.264 video is recommended; H.265 streams usually cannot be played, so switch the camera or its sub-stream to H.264.
How accurate is it?
It depends on the camera position, lighting, angle and image quality. You can set an accuracy level so that only confident plate readings are used, and the free trial lets you test it on your own cameras before you pay.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Scanning stops until you subscribe. Your saved records stay on your PC and can still be exported.
Windows shows a warning when I install it. Why?
Windows SmartScreen can show a message for newer software. If you downloaded the installer from visudock.com, choose More info and then Run anyway.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Every payment is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. See the Refund Policy.
