ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader)

PulseCAD integrates with Wraith ARS 2X (wk_wars2x), the standard FiveM radar/plate-reader. When Wraith scans a plate, PulseCAD checks it against your community's records and alerts the officer in-game if there's a hit.

What triggers an alert

A scanned plate raises an alert when, in your community, the vehicle (or its registered owner) is flagged:

Hit	Meaning
STOLEN	The vehicle is flagged stolen
REG_EXPIRED / REG_SUSPENDED	Registration is not valid
NO_INSURANCE	Insurance is not valid
RO_WARRANT	The registered owner has an active warrant
BOLO	There's an active BOLO on the plate

The officer who scanned gets an on-screen notification and a tone. Dispatch also sees the hit on their board (visual only, no sound). A clean plate produces nothing, with no false positives.

Setup

1. Install Wraith ARS 2X (wk_wars2x) on your server.
2. In the CAD, open Admin → FiveM and enable ALPR, then re-download / reload the resource. (ALPR is a per-community toggle and is off by default.)

That's it. PulseCAD hooks Wraith's scan event automatically. If Wraith isn't installed, the hook is simply inert.

Turning it on

Changing the ALPR toggle in Admin → FiveM applies live; installed servers pick it up within about 10 seconds (or press Push update). No restart needed just to enable/disable ALPR.

Testing without driving around

Use the manual lookup to confirm the link end-to-end without a radar:

/plate <plate>

This returns the same community-scoped flags in chat and works without Wraith. It's the quickest way to verify your server is reaching the CAD. (Unlike an ALPR scan, /plate does not push a dispatch alert.)

Where flags come from

Vehicles, owners, registration/insurance status, warrants, and BOLOs come from the civilian portal and the dispatch/MDT tools, the same records officers see when they run a plate on the web. Mark a vehicle stolen, set a registration status, issue a warrant, or create a plate BOLO, and ALPR will catch it. See Dispatch and Law Enforcement (MDT).
