Rekor Scout Price Increase to $10/Cam
- Thread starter IReallyLikePizza2
- Start date
Honestly for $20/mo, I'll just increase storage for my LPR cams and scroll back through. I will miss getting alerts etc, but I'm not sure its worth $20/mo. That's a lot of money for something that they are not even providing since I'm using webhooks anyway
Make sure you tell them, I just emailed the billing address and told them that's too steep, and I'll be gone
I wouldn't even be so mad if they were actually improving the service. There has been quite a few outages and the GPU support is still terrible with artifacts all over the images
I pay less for much better services
In our emails to Rekor, should we mention that AI has come a long way since we first subscribed and there are now free options available to those using a VMS system and they are essentially costing themselves out of the market.
Now they may not care and management changes so it might now work, but I thought early on when it went from free to pay, the initial offering was like $45/month and enough home hobbyist complained and they came up with the $5 home plan for those of us not using it in a business setting.

I just canceled. Sent them an email explaining why. It's a fun hobby and all but $10/month is too much as far as I'm concerned.
Gotcha! Thought you had another solution. I will be increasing storage and cancelling as well.
This is probably part of the reason:

I'm going to spin up a docker instance to see what kind of data it spits out and how much we really need the monthly fee. You can change the data destination. I never personally messed around with it though. The software seems to do all of the heavy lifting anyway.
It outputs a json object documented on their site to the specified web server but it stops doing it after 14 or 30 days or something. It also has the local queue that you can retrieve stuff from beanstalk but I had issues with that after the trial ended as well.

Results (from your cams) are sent to their servers first. If you have an active subscription, then you can both view plates on their cloud dashboard and setup webhooks to forward those results to a custom database to accept them for processing and viewing. I’ve been using this for a while: OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras
I had that custom code developed and then @mlapaglia took it over and ran with it and created something even better. He experimented with trying to intercept the payload between the Rektor client and their cloud servers, but the client calls home to verify you have an active subscription before data is sent.
I don't think that is the case. The last winter storm I lost internet access for 4 days, but using the other utility someone made, I kept getting the plates in that system despite no internet access.
