Axon Lightpost

Streetlight-mounted ALPR that reads plates and livestreams to police.

Announced in April 2025, Lightpost turns existing streetlights into fixed automated license-plate readers. Built with Ubicquia, it clips onto a light pole's photocell socket in under an hour — no trenching — and streams plate reads, vehicle-attribute matches, and live video into Axon's real-time crime centers (Fusus).

  • Automated license-plate reading
  • Vehicle attribute recognition
  • Livestreaming video
  • Pole-mounted, sub-hour install
  • Feeds Axon Fusus / real-time crime centers
