When a collision turns into a hit-and-run, incident resolution and exoneration comes down to one detail: the license plate. In fact, nearly 1 in 7 collisions on U.S. roads is a hit and run, and that number keeps climbing.

And it’s not just hit-and-runs. In incidents like road rage or theft, a missing or illegible license plate number can slow investigations, weaken exoneration, and add thousands in avoidable costs.

Most dash cams aren’t built to capture it. Wide-angle lenses and lower-resolution footage make it hard to read plates at distance, at speed, or in low light.

Motive’s Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) built for the AI Dashcam Plus closes that gap — turning every captured plate into actionable evidence to quickly identify vehicles, resolve incidents faster, and reduce claims costs.

Get investigation-ready evidence for every collision and near collision event

The AI Dashcam Plus combines a wide road-facing lens for full video context with a dedicated 1440p zoom lens designed to capture sharper detail when it matters most.

The zoom lens uses a narrow field of view to capture license plates at distance — even in rain or snow — and across multiple lanes at highway speeds, day or night.

On top of the video, Automated License Plate Recognition automatically identifies license plates along with make, model, and color of the offending vehicle in collision and near collision events and surfaces them to managers in the Motive Dashboard making it easier to obtain and review critical evidence for faster resolution.

Events are automatically paired with vehicle identification and context so teams can streamline investigations:

  • Detects vehicle and extracts license plate characters from zoom footage
  • Surfaces plate images, text, and vehicle profile alongside driver, vehicle, location, and timestamp data
  • Links everything to the event automatically, so no manual review to identify plates is needed

Act faster with the evidence you need

While our AI is incredible at helping prevent collisions, not every incident can be avoided. Take a common scenario: one of your drivers is involved in a collision, and the other vehicle doesn’t stick around.

Before the AI Dashcam Plus, manual review of incident footage in slow motion scrubbing frame by frame to potentially identify the license plate and vehicle details was labor intensive, inefficient, and prolonged the investigation process. Now the key details are already there, along with an automatically generated collision report.

So you can move quickly — whether that’s filing an insurance claim or sharing evidence with law enforcement to exonerate your driver.

Built for safety, with privacy in mind

Automated License Plate Recognition is focused on collisions and near collisions, where evidence matters most, and is now available in the U.S. and Canada.

It’s designed to support investigation and liability workflows while giving you control over how data is handled by working alongside privacy features like license plate blurring and automatic confidential tags of collision-related footage to authorized personnel only.

This ensures you can capture critical evidence while maintaining your organization’s privacy standards.

With Automated License Plate Recognition, get clear plate and vehicle data tied to HD video and full event context.

The payoff is simple: capture critical evidence to resolve incidents faster, exonerate drivers, and control costs.
