Leave it to a company that collects more than 150 million plate reads per month to bring public surveillance to our front door.
Rekor Systems “Open ALPR program” will allow homeowners to turn their video doorbells into license plate readers.
A Rekor Systems press release revealed their plans to turn 22 million smart homes into neighborhood license plate reader networks.
“Research firm Berg Insight reports that 63 million American homes will qualify as “smart” by as early as 2022. With the launch of our downloadable and cloud-based products, anyone can access affordable license plate reading in minutes — as well as obtaining access to advanced machine learning vehicle recognition that provides make, model and body type through our CarCheck API and Watchman,” said Robert Berman, President and CEO, Rekor.
Rekor Systems is going to great lengths to turn smart homes into neighborhood license plate reader networks.

If we ever get a Universal Basic Income, it will be in the form of a paycheck from the CIA as we all spy on ourselves.
If they are ready to do this..
You KNOW that real time facial recognition is just about there.
I just want to know what people are using for video doorbells that allows for the reading of a license plate. Sure ain’t any product I’ve ever seen.

China has it and have cameras throughout the streets of many cities. ...citizens cell phones are government tracked as well.
Next up. ...the mark of the beast. ....just saying.
“The digital gulag continues to grow.”
This is why I would start teaching mandatory computer hacking in high schools.
Everyone needs to know how to thwart computer surveillance, and mess up or obscure government records.
(and I’m more than half-serious...)
I’m not saying there’s not cameras which can accomplish the job - my cell phone certainly can read a license plate 100 yards away. I’m just saying I’m unaware of any consumer product (video doorbell) which would be functional for reading plates.

Unless its on your dash cam. ....
Same here. There is no angle that our doorbell could get a read. We have an enclosed courtyard but didn’t put a ring type doorbell out there because here they’re being stolen. We do have security cameras that show our whole property and since we’re on a turn in the road one of them sees all the way down the street and the entrance into our neighborhood.

Bingo...none of the products out there have resolution to read plates at normal front door to street distances. Besides, cars driving down the street never expose their license plates to your front door (unless you live on a “T” intersection or maybe a corner).
This does not add up at all.
