# JSON Plate Results

Rekor Scout® generates an `alpr_results` JSON value for every frame of video in which a license plate is recognized. This value will be sent multiple times for a single vehicle. For example, as a vehicle drives past the camera over the course of three seconds, Scout may recognize the same license plate fifty times. All fifty recognition results will be recorded as `alpr_results` JSON values.

The number of recognition results largely depends on the processing speed and number of cameras being processed. A faster processor will produce more of these per vehicle because it is able to process video frames at a faster rate.

Individual plate results are best suited for applications that need to operate on plate data in real time.

JSON Plate results are sent in the following format:
