+[OpenAlpr](http://www.openalpr.com/) integration for Home Assistant allows you to process licences plates from a camera. You can use them to open a garage door or trigger any other [automation](https://home-assistant.io/components/automation/).
+
+<p class='note'>
+If you want use a video stream. You need setup the [ffmpeg](/components/ffmpeg) component. See also there for troubleshooting local ffmpeg installation.

+
+If you want process all data local you need the command line tool `alpr` in version > 2.3.1

+```bash
+cmake -DWITH_TEST=FALSE -DWITH_BINDING_JAVA=FALSE --DWITH_BINDING_PYTHON=FALSE --DWITH_BINDING_GO=FALSE -DWITH_DAEMON=FALSE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr
