    I need something like this for my line of work I know this is kind of a pipe dream with current technology but how hard do you think it would be to integrate license plate reading but more importantly vehicle make and model with color may not always be able to see the license plate but you can always see that it is a blue Chevy truck

    • @rupertferder6768
      @rupertferder6768 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's already plenty of libraries available for license plate recognition and I'm sure there's a database lookup service to match the plate to a model.

    This is incredible i’d love this sort of thing in my van. I know nothing about coding but know about 12v so I could follow this video mostly. My question is: how tricky is it to get into all this stuff so I could build my own system? It appeals to me for the security features, customisability, cost (free to run I assume) and I should think the individual components don’t cost that much as it’s diy assembly. I look forward to your reply Louis from the UK 🇬🇧
