Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) with AI Dashcam Plus

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.
