Peregrine is an ALPR and data analytics company that sells camera hardware and software to law enforcement. Their systems record license plates and vehicle attributes and feed reads into shared databases accessible to subscribing agencies. Peregrine competes in the same market as Flock Safety and Vigilant, often targeting smaller and mid-size agencies as a lower-cost alternative, and their reads can be integrated into RTCC dashboards alongside other vendors' data.

Like all ALPR systems, Peregrine cameras record every vehicle that passes—not just vehicles of interest. Data is retained and searchable, building movement histories over time. Shared database access means plate reads can be queried by agencies beyond the one that deployed the camera. Hot lists and automated alerts carry the same error rates and civil liberties risks as other ALPR platforms: wrongful stops, disproportionate impact on Black and brown communities, and vulnerability to use for abortion or immigration enforcement.

• Fixed ALPR cameras – pole-mounted cameras that read plates on passing vehicles; positioned at intersections, roadways, and neighborhood entrances
• Mobile ALPR units – vehicle-mounted readers that scan parked cars as a patrol vehicle drives
• Peregrine analytics platform – web-based interface for searching plate reads, generating alerts, and sharing data with other subscribing agencies
• RTCC integrations – Peregrine reads can appear as alerts in fusion platforms and RTCC dashboards alongside ALPR data from other vendors
