Abstract This paper presents the development of a prototype for the identification of license plates and character recognition implemented in a RASPBERRY PI 3 device. The device is used as a program controller, allowing to make a real time video from an integrated camera. From the video an image of the license plate is extracted, which allows to recognize the characters from it. Subsequently, the information of the license plates, current date, time, and camera code is integrated into a server which can be accessed from a web application. With this it can be achieved a systematic control of vehicles income and output.
