Rekor
AI vehicle recognition and roadway intelligence
About
Rekor's Scout platform adds AI license plate and vehicle recognition — plate, make, model, color, direction of travel — to nearly any IP, traffic or security camera, with a searchable dashboard, real-time hotlist alerts and an open API so agencies own and share their data. Rekor Edge Pro hardware processes recognition on-device for roadway speeds. Pricing is published for some tiers: Scout runs $49–79/month for public-sector and commercial customers, with a $5/month basic plan, while a recent third-party review cites $12/month per camera for the Basic plan — pricing varies by tier and should be confirmed. Rekor is NASDAQ-listed (REKR). Privacy and data-retention policies deserve scrutiny before deploying ALPR at scale.
