Get to know Axon Lightpost

Axon Lightpost is a fixed, infrastructure-mounted intelligent ALPR camera designed to transform existing streetlights and outdoor infrastructure into real-time vehicle intelligence tools. Lightpost delivers automated license plate recognition (ALPR), vehicle attribute recognition (VAR), and livestreaming video seamlessly into the Axon public safety ecosystem with minimal physical footprint.

Built in collaboration with Ubicquia, Axon Lightpost installs quickly on existing light poles without trenching or new pole infrastructure, dramatically reducing deployment complexity and cost.

Once powered and network-connected, Axon Lightpost begins autonomous operation with no daily user interaction, providing continuous detection and secure data upload to Axon Evidenceand Axon Fusus.

 

Components

Axon Fusus Core Lite

Axon Lightpost uses Axon Fusus Core Lite as an intermediary component to enable secure network connectivity and data routing between the camera system and the Axon network. This is housed in a weather-resistant, outdoor-rated enclosure designed for permanent infrastructure deployments.

 

Axon Lightpost is engineered for long-term outdoor deployment and can operate in a wide range of environmental conditions. Axon has partnered with Ubicquia, a leader in smart streetlights and smart grid solutions. Ubicquia has a smart Ubihub AI which provides compute, storage and LTE services. Axon Lightpost uses industry leader Axis Q1800 cameras for their superior capability to track vehicles and read license plates up at high speed and long distances. Integrating both these components is Axon Fusus Core Lite, which provides the necessary intelligence and connectivity to Axon Fusus Cloud. These devices are in sealed, weather-resistant housing that protects the optical and processing components, including the integrated LTE modem for persistent connectivity for both LPR detection uploads and livestreaming sessions. Manage camera and Axon Fusus device configuration and health monitoring through Axon Fusus.
