Vehicle Analytics (Color, Type, Make/Model) Rankings 2024 - Avigilon Alta, Axis, Genetec, Motorola, Rekor, Verkada
Vehicle attribute classification is becoming more popular among many analytics systems, but how do they perform in real-world testing?
IPVM tested six different vehicle attribute classification offerings, including Alta LPR, Axis All-In-One LPR, Genetec Autovu LPR, Motorola L6Q, Rekor Edge Pro, and Verkada LPR. Flock has refused to sell us or allow us to obtain their products for the past two years.
