# Overview

The Rekor Scout® Web Server is a web-based interface that collects, manages, and presents license plate data that has been produced by one or more Rekor Scout Agents. The webserver does not process license plate videos; that function is performed by the Agent. Data sent from the Agent to the web server is relatively low-bandwidth because it contains text metadata describing the license plates.
