NEW ARRIVE! New License Plate Recognition terminals with LCD LED displays from Excelsoo.

Our Take

This one isn't a Flock Safety video — it's a product showcase from Excelsoo Parking Access, a hardware vendor pitching its new G24 license plate recognition terminal with a built-in LCD/LED display for parking lots and gated access points. Credit to the channel for the straightforward look at the gear, but it's worth pausing on what this clip really represents: plate-reading cameras have become a commodity product, sold the same way you'd sell a card reader or a boom gate.

That matters because the conversation around ALPR surveillance tends to focus on big-name players and police partnerships, but the bigger picture is that this capability is now cheap, mass-produced, and marketed purely as a convenience feature — not a surveillance tool that logs where your car goes. Property managers, HOAs, and private lots can bolt one of these onto an entrance with zero public debate, no retention policy, and no accountability for who sees the data afterward. Multiply that across every strip mall and apartment complex and you get a patchwork of plate logging that nobody voted for.

We track this kind of quiet expansion because it adds up the same way municipal ALPR networks do — one camera at a time, each one framed as harmless. Check our camera map to see what's already been documented near you, and if you want to push back on unchecked plate tracking in your area, our take-action page has concrete steps.
