DRN - Digital Recognition Network uses lpr for commercial purposes such as: Auto Recovery, Auto Finance, and Insurance. The data helps lenders make right party contact to reduce charge-offs, insurers improve pricing at underwriting and claims investigations, and gives recovery agents the technology they need to recover more vehicles. Vehicle location data has revolutionized the auto recovery industry by helping lenders recover up to 35% more vehicles. Insurance carriers fight fraud and rate evasion on commercial and personal lines with solutions powered by DRN's vehicle location data and analytics. Auto lenders use DRN's unique vehicle location data analytics to improve collections by connecting with customers and curing up to 30% more loans. It is important to note that the data that is generated by Vigilant's law enforcement customers is not shared with DRN, as it is the property of the respective agency that collected the data.

VLP - Vigilant Linux processor 

VSR - Vigilant Solutions Reaper

ReaperHD - VIGILANT MOBILE HD LPR/ANPR cameras that will be installed on vehicles - The system. Uses up to four (4) dual-lens LPR cameras, each with integrated Digital Signature Processors (DSP), and advanced imaging and recognition algorithms to provide the most advanced mobile LPR system available.

IR - Infrared (of electromagnetic radiation) having a wavelength just greater than that of the red end of the visible light spectrum but less than that of microwaves. Infrared radiation has a wavelength from about 800 nm to 1 mm, and is emitted particularly by heated objects.

UV - Ultraviolet (of electromagnetic radiation) having a wavelength shorter than that of the violet end of the visible spectrum but longer than that of X-rays.

DF - Driver Front (Placement of ALPR cameras)

DR - Driver Rear (Placement of ALPR cameras)

PR - Passenger Rear (Placement of ALPR cameras)

ALPR - Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically read license plate characters. There are two types of ALPR: stationary, which uses infrared (IR) cameras at high fixed points, and mobile, which uses vehicle-mounted IR cameras.
