Using Your Phone for Mobile LPR
May 4, 2021
License plate recognition technology has been around for years. Fixed and mobile LPR cameras paved the way for departments to widely utilize the technology. But what if we told you that rather than using expensive LPR cameras, you could use a mobile device?
In previous blogs, we’ve shared how our LPR partner Rekor flipped the script on traditional LPRs. And by doing so, they revolutionized the game by…
- Using artificial intelligence (ALPR) to deliver 99% accuracy of reads (Find out the difference between traditional OCR technology vs. AI here)
- Being able to use existing IP cameras vs. traditional, expensive LPR cameras
