Cloned plates read clean.
AMVIS reads the car.
A stolen car rarely wears a stolen-looking plate. AMVIS runs in the cruiser and checks what the plate claims against what the vehicle actually is. When they disagree, the officer knows, on-device, before the car reaches the port.
On-device. Nothing leaves the vehicle. Built in Montréal.

Auto theft is an organized-crime business. The plate is how it hides.
Thefts finally dipped in 2025, but only because of reactive port interdiction and task forces. The recovery rate barely moved. The cars that still get through are the sophisticated ones: re-VINed, and wearing cloned plates that read perfectly clean to every camera, reader, and toll gantry in the province.
Annual cost of auto theft to Canadians, proceeds funneled into organized crime.

Every camera cleared this car.
It is still stolen.
Plate-only ALPR matches a string of characters against a hotlist. A cloned plate passes that check by design. AMVIS adds the half of the problem cameras ignore: the vehicle itself.
Read the plate
On-device OCR lifts the plate and pulls the vehicle it is registered to: make, model, year, colour.
Read the vehicle
A vision model reads the actual car in frame, independent of the plate: a BMW coupe, not the Honda Civic the plate claims.
Flag the mismatch
When the registration and the vehicle disagree, the officer gets an alert in the cruiser. The one signal a plate-only reader can never produce.
An alert is a lead, not a verdict. A mismatch tells the officer this vehicle is worth a second look. It is not a determination that a crime occurred, and it is not grounds on its own. Vision models misread cars, so the alert shows what it saw and leaves the judgement where it belongs.
We drove it around Montreal. This is the unedited output.
Recorded from a vehicle on public roads in Montreal, August 2026, and processed once through the AMVIS pipeline. Every box, track ID, make/model read, and plate is a live model output on the compute unit in the car. Nothing is staged and nothing is re-cut.
128 vehicles tracked across the clip · 25 plates read · 0 alerts, because no plate here is on a registry

AMVIS runs entirely on a compute unit in the vehicle. No raw video, no vehicle profiles, nothing leaves the cruiser. That is not a policy promise. It is how the system is built.
Cloud ALPR runs headlong into Canadian data-residency law. Genetec had to rebuild its cloud product inside Canadian data centres in 2025 to keep police data in the country. AMVIS never had the problem, because the data never moves. Compliant with Quebec Law 25 and PIPEDA by default.
