ALPR Leaks

Log license plates, vehicle make, vehicle color, and vehicle model to a CSV along with a JPEG image of the vehicle from Motorola ALPRs exposed to the public internet.

This script is preloaded with 3 IP addresses from Chicago, but more can be added. See motorola-ip-addresses.json for a list of over 100 IP addresses found through Shodan.

UPDATE: Most Cameras Offline

1/9/2025 - Following media reports and action from Motorola, it looks like most Motorla ALPRs have been taken offline, so this script is unlikely to work anymore.
