PlateSmart Technologies is a software based license plate recognition (LPR) company based in Oldsmar, Florida.[1][2] The company's camera agnostic software uses a video camera and computer to identify and record license plates via video analytics algorithms. The company employs engineers, mathematicians, video engineers, and law enforcement officers located throughout the United States. PlateSmart has an integrator in Dubai, U.A.E. called Electronic Design.[3]
The company was founded by John Chigos and was established as a result of the 9/11 attacks.[citation needed] PlateSmart's automatic license plate recognition software was released as a prototype in 2008, and a later version was released at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.[citation needed]
