Vehicle Recognition

Know more than just the plate.

Don’t just capture a license number, build a full vehicle profile. Our system instantly identifies:

  • Make, model, color, generation (MMCG), and body type

  • Vehicle traits that match or conflict with the plate

  • Vehicles connected to AMBER alerts, BOLOs, or traffic offenses

  • Useful across camera types: bodycam, dashcam, pole-mounted, or trailer setups

License Plate Recognition

A police officer is sitting inside a police vehicle, monitoring traffic on the road. The vehicle's dashboard and a screen showing the rear of a car with a license plate are visible. In front, a police car with flashing lights is on the road.

Catch more plates. Miss fewer threats.

  • Reads plates across multiple regions and countries

  • Matches make, model, color, and generation (MMCG) for quick visual ID
