Not all cameras are equal just because a salesman says so.

When it comes to access control, consistency is everything. Whether you’re managing a roller door, gate, or restricted entry point, you need technology that performs flawlessly — every time. Recently, we were called in to help a customer whose roller‑door access system had become unreliable. Their existing solution used a competitor’s camera for license plate recognition (LPR). Still, it was hit‑and‑miss: some plates were recognised, others weren’t, and reliability dropped even further in low‑light or angled‑view conditions.
That’s when we introduced them to the AXIS P3287 LVE and its powerful LPR (License Plate Recognition) function — and the difference was immediate.

From Inconsistent to Bulletproof: The Upgrade to AXIS
The AXIS P3287 LVE is designed for advanced outdoor video applications, but its built‑in LPR analytics are what truly set it apart. Unlike the system installed previously, AXIS uses high‑accuracy detection that adapts to lighting conditions, vehicle speed, and plate variations.
The result? It recognised every single license plate, every single time. No more delays. No more uncertainty. No more manually triggering the door when the camera didn’t do its job.
This upgrade transformed the customer’s roller door access into a smooth, automated, and reliable system — exactly what access control should be.
We Test It First — At Our Cost, Not Yours
One thing that sets CSL Wellington apart is our commitment to providing proven solutions instead of guesses or “hopefully it works” installs.
Before presenting the AXIS solution to the customer, we set up, tested, and verified the complete LPR workflow at our own cost. That means:
✔ Testing with real plates
✔ Testing in different light levels
✔ Testing the trigger timing
✔ Testing the door activation logic
✔ Optimising camera angles and settings
We delivered the system ready to perform perfectly from day one. The customer didn’t have to troubleshoot, experiment, or absorb the cost of trial‑and‑error. We took care of everything — because that’s our standard.
Why Customers Trust CSL Wellington
At CSL Wellington, we don’t sell products; we deliver solutions.
That means:
1. Reliability First

2. Solution‑Driven, Not Profit‑Driven

4. Experience Across Access Control, CCTV, Alarms, and IQP 12‑Certified Work
Our team understands how these systems interact — allowing us to fine‑tune performance rather than leave it to chance.
