PlateSmart

PlateSmart Technologies is a mass surveillance system vendor headquartered in Oldsmar, Florida. Founded in 2004, the company released their first version of the platform in 2008. PlateSmart was originally made for perimeter security. By tapping into CCTV camera feeds, PlateSmart would keep a log of what vehicles were inside a specific area, by Automated License Plate Reading. In 2012, the platform could was deployed around the RNC convention, allowed "law enforcement to identify the owner of virtually any car that comes near the convention in an instant."

However, PlateSmart didn't stop there. By 2023, the platform was a fully-featured replacement for Flock Safety and its competitors. Performing ALPR post-processing on surveillance video feeds, the system performs analytics on vehicle scans across the world to build a tracking profile on each driver. Their customers can simply identify unwitting drivers, or use the system to locate specific people, or map out their movements over time.

"PlateSmart Analytics turns captured vehicle data into actionable intelligence — connecting data across locations, time, and context to reveal patterns, support investigations, and drive smarter operational decisions"

PlateSmart heavily markets their tracking and identification systems to private industry. "We've also partnered with businesses across industries, where top brands use us to boost efficiency and drive world class customer service"

This system still primarily relies on video feeds from existing cameras, although they have also built the option for customers to run ALPR scanning from mobile platforms such as cars. This capability was facilitated by PlateSmart's partnership with the dash cam company LensLock.
