Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) automatically detects and reads license plates from dashcam footage during supported events. This information is displayed alongside event videos to help fleets identify vehicles involved in collisions.
Overview
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) enables fleets to identify vehicles involved in collision and near collision events by automatically detecting and reading license plates from dashcam footage.
ALPR helps fleets:
- Capture critical evidence: Identifies license plates in collision events
- Support claims and exoneration: Provides reliable vehicle identification for insurance and legal use cases
- Improve incident visibility: Surfaces license plate information directly alongside event footage
ALPR is powered by the AI Dashcam Plus (AIDC+) RF-Zoom camera and is automatically applied to supported events.
How ALPR works
ALPR processes high-resolution dashcam footage to detect and read license plates from vehicles involved in a collision event.
When ALPR runs
ALPR runs automatically on RF-Zoom video for:
- Collision events
- Near Collision events
What the camera records
The RF-Zoom camera captures:
- High-resolution video (1440p)
- Optimized footage for clarity during motion and low-light conditions
This allows license plates to be readable even at speed.
What happens during processing
For each collision event:
- Vehicles in the video are detected
- License plates are identified and read
- Plate data is linked to event details such as time and location
What you see in the Fleet Dashboard
On the event detail page, ALPR information is displayed alongside the event video.
You can view:
- The RF-Zoom event video
- A Detected vehicles section showing:
- License plate image
- License plate text
Hovering over detected vehicles highlights them in the video for easier identification.
Where ALPR is available
ALPR data is available in:
- Fleet Dashboard (Web): Event detail page
- Fleet App: Event details
