Integrate Rekor CarCheck LPR API for garage access control and payment matching (distinct vendor from Plate Recognizer already in this corpus)
domain: docs.rekor.ai · 6 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Obtain a CarCheck secret key from the Rekor Web Dashboard
Call POST /recognize (raw image upload), POST /recognize_url (image by URL), or POST /recognize_bytes (byte/base64 payload) to submit a vehicle image
Parse the JSON response for plate number, state/region of issuance, and vehicle make/model/color/orientation
Call GET /config to retrieve current API configuration
Match the returned plate to a driver's stored payment method or permit record to enable contactless entry/exit without a physical ticket
Choose the hosted REST API or the on-premises SDK if images can't leave your network
Known gotchas
This is a different vendor from Plate Recognizer (platerecognizer.com), already covered elsewhere in this corpus - don't conflate Rekor CarCheck and Plate Recognizer as the same integration
Plate reads degrade with weather, glare, obscured/duplicate, or out-of-region plates - pair LPR with a fallback entry method rather than relying on it as the sole access-control mechanism
PAYMENT-ADJACENT if plate reads are tied directly to stored payment methods - handle mismatches (e.g., a visiting/rental vehicle) with a manual override path
