Rekor Systems (NASDAQ: REKR) released a white paper detailing its Privacy and Evidence Architecture for Responsible Vehicle Recognition. The framework aims to preserve automated license plate recognition (ALPR) public-safety benefits while addressing privacy, data retention, auditability, data-sharing, and video evidence integrity.
Rekor outlines default protection for non-relevant data, purpose-based retention policies, auditable access logs, and its Go-Secure.Video technology for authenticating and later validating video evidence.
Rekor Systems (NASDAQ: REKR) launched the Rekor Scout Axis Agent with Go-Secure.Video, a software agent that turns supported Axis cameras into vehicle-recognition sensors with cryptographically tamper-evident video. It enables license plate and vehicle recognition on existing Axis hardware, emphasizing video integrity, privacy, security, and flexible edge-cloud deployment.
Rekor (NASDAQ: REKR) launched Go-Secure.Video, a media authentication technology that cryptographically signs video at capture to prove authenticity or detect tampering. It embeds device, time, location, and a V-Chain into the bitstream and returns deterministic, evidence-grade verdicts via a validation portal.
The system is compliant with C2PA and ONVIF media signing standards and targets law enforcement, insurers, courts, commercial security operators, and camera/platform manufacturers. An iOS evaluation app is available via Apple TestFlight.
