Utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning, OpenALPR solutions can identify not only license plate numbers but also a vehicle's make, model, color, and direction of travel in real-time. This rich data empowers various sectors to automate tasks, enhance community safety, and gain valuable business insights. For law enforcement and security personnel, it aids in identifying vehicles of interest and improving overall safety. Businesses can leverage this intelligence to boost customer loyalty, for example, by receiving instant alerts when a specific vehicle is detected.
OpenALPR offers two primary software products: Rekor Scout® and Rekor CarCheck®. Rekor Scout® is a vehicle recognition platform that enables LPR on IP cameras, delivering web-based results and compatible with numerous systems. Rekor CarCheck® is an API that analyzes still images of vehicles, returning detailed plate and vehicle information in JSON format, making it easy to integrate into existing applications. Both are designed for fast installation and set-up, often achievable in under 20 minutes.
The platform boasts industry-leading accuracy and supports license plate recognition in nearly 70 countries. Users benefit from a searchable vehicle database for advanced searches based on plate numbers and vehicle attributes, with data retention for up to 60 days. OpenALPR also provides free, lifelong software updates, ensuring users always have access to the latest improvements without additional costs. This makes it a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications, from parking operations and quick-service restaurants to software development and law enforcement.
