1. A gateway comprising:
- a memory;
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor comprising a communication module, a remote device management module, and a license plate module,the communication module configured to communicate with a web server, a client device introduced to the gateway by the web server, and at least one other gateway and to copy a configuration of the gateway to the at least one other gateway;
the remote device management module configured to aggregate monitoring data from a plurality of security devices coupled to the gateway and from at least one other security device respectively coupled to the at least one other gateway, the at least one other gateway correlated with the gateway by the web server, and to enable the client device to control the plurality of security devices coupled to the gateway and the at least one other security device coupled to the at least one other gateway; and
the license plate module configured to scan a location having a plurality of parked vehicles using a non-infrared camera coupled to the gateway, and to identify characters in license plates of the plurality of parked vehicles.

Abstract
A method and a system for identifying a license plate of a vehicle are described. The system has a gateway, a web server, and a client device. The gateway is coupled to a security device. The web server has a management application configured to communicate with the gateway. The client device communicates with the gateway identified by the web server. A non-infrared camera connected to the gateway visually scans a location having a plurality of parked vehicles, and identifies characters in the license plates of the plurality of parked vehicles.
