What Is AiLPR? How Aeye Systems Redefines License Plate Recognition

It’s not just ALPR. It’s AiLPR—automated intelligence made officer-ready.

In the world of policing, not all technology is created equal. For years, departments have relied on ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) systems to identify vehicles of interest. But traditional ALPR has hit its limits—costly hardware, outdated software, and alerts that come too late to act on.

Enter AiLPR: a smarter, faster, more affordable evolution.

What Is AiLPR?

AiLPR (Artificial Intelligence License Plate Recognition) goes beyond basic image capture. It leverages onboard AI processors, real-time data analytics, and smart alerting to give officers actionable insights in the moment. It’s not just about reading plates—it’s about understanding context, patterns, and threats.

At Aeye Systems, we coined the term AiLPR because what we built wasn’t just another ALPR product—it was a paradigm shift.

How AiLPR Is Different

Feature	Traditional ALPR	AiLPR by Aeye Systems
Plate Reading	Yes	Yes + Real-time triage
Data Processing	Central server, delayed	Edge AI, instant alerts
Officer Experience	Distracting interface	Voice-ready, eyes-on-road
Cost	$20k–$30k/unit	~$6k/unit
Scalability	Cost-prohibitive	Fleetwide deployment

Why Law Enforcement Is Moving from ALPR to AiLPR

• Faster Reads: Read plates in 4 lanes, up to 50 feet out, while driving.

• More Data: Identify make, model, color, and state instantly.

• Less Noise: Get alerts only when it matters.

• Built for Patrol: Minimal training. Works like a co-pilot.

• Affordable for the Entire Fleet: No more picking and choosing which vehicles get equipped.

  
  

Why the “AI” in AiLPR Matters

Most companies say they use AI. But AiLPR does.

• Our systems process data on the edge—no cloud lag.

• Our alerts are configurable, contextual, and customizable by jurisdiction.

• Our roadmap includes voice interaction, facial recognition, and touchless enforcement—all driven by artificial intelligence built in the field, not the lab.

Built for the Beat, Not the Boardroom

AiLPR was born in the car, not the conference room. We rode with officers, watched the tech fail in real time, and built Aeye4 to be the system that officers actually need—not the one vendors want to sell.

And we’re just getting started.
