They are pretty amazing!

This technology has been around and in use for over 10 years.... Lol

These cameras let the cars find me instead of me having to find them. They make it ridiculously easier to just drive around and collect the money.

@@MNDashcam how can someone install these on personal vehicles and sell data to banks/ repo companies?

@@Tuzlak22 contact the companies that sell the cameras for info on their requirements and your options.

I do this as a job, I find about 5 cars a shift…from 4am to 1230…it’s pretty fun honestly. Took a while to get over feeling sorry for people losing their cars. But honestly, pay your bills, stop buying expensive ass cars that require higher insurance, gas and maintenance.

​@@Vincent-fb1yj I was thinking about doing this job how is the pay

How does that work?

Did you get the job? Might be getting into the same field, talking to a local company.

@@tonym732 did you start the job?

Drn network with raptor lpr cameras

So the cameras and system basically link all open repo orders? Whoever gets it first gets it?

I can't give you all the secrets

Good luck! Hope it all works out for you!

@@MNDashcam yeah unfortunately I believe she's ghosted me I thought it was going well but I don't know I must have said something.... The only thing that I asked since then was I was trying to find out if she could forward me to any training videos or anything to give me a head start on learning the DRN software... And whatever other software they use... There's another one they use on the iPad but I can't remember the name of it

@@RoadRunner-yu8cu what’s the update bro? Where are you located?

@@caseyshroyer2074 haha... Funny you should ask that, the company actually ghosted me for the past 3 months and just called me 3 days ago after I had already gotten another job and I've also been so nervous about whether I can pass that exam that I told him I needed a day or so to think about it and that I needed to weigh out the pros and cons of my current job versus that one, that was the wrong move, he put my application in the shredder pile and hired three other people instead when I tried to call them back and tell him I wanted to take them up on their offer I don't know why I hesitated but I fucked up and I lost my opportunity.

@@caseyshroyer2074 what's your update?

Clean the lenses. Make sure there is no flashback for the IR and it has a clear line to the target. The rows of IR LEDs will burn out one by one over time and decrease effectiveness. If you can, an auxiliary row of IR LEDs can be used to help the camera.

@@MNDashcam thank u again…appreciate it

DRN cameras

DRN network and software with Raptor cameras

You don't have to drop $15k on cameras. You can do payments. And 250-300 a car is about average. Depends on your area and the going rate for contracts.

@@MNDashcam okay so next question is what's the amount of money you think you should have before getting into the LPR cameras, is it something you should start right away when you start your business or is it something you should wait on? also the providers you have to sign up with to get hits for the LPR cameras through DRN what do they usually request that you need to have such as coverage, storage lots, monthly fee's etc.. sorry for asking so many questions it's because I don't know anyone personally that has them and I just wanted to know as much information as possible before getting them

As a general rule you want to have at least 6-12 months of operating costs on hand at all times especially for a new business. You can search them out manually but you are a lot more efficient when you have an extra set of eyes looking for things you don't even know to look for. The contracts send the info into the database and the people at DRN update the list multiple times daily with new cars. If you live in a metro area with a high population, I would get the cameras and hit the ground running with as many tools as you can to get the job done. If you are doing regular towing as well, you can wait on cameras and do some manual hunting to see if you really want to do it and what you can learn from it. If you plan on doing just repos, you want the cameras ASAP. You are going to need a lot to put cars in, have a front desk attendant and all that behind some glass of course.. People get really angry.. Fenced in and locked up. Business insurance of course but the coverages requirements can vary from contract to contract. Best thing to do is just to walk into a big name bank and sit down and talk to them about what they would require. Then after that everybody else should have similar requirements.

It will trigger any plates that are visible to the cameras

@@MNDashcam also are all tow trucks repossession agents or do some only do regular parking violations.

@TheKanyeAsada repossessions are a specific area of towing and not all trucks do them. Sometimes you need special insurance for it or a license for it depending where your at.

Sorry I didn't see this comment. How is everything going?

what is the update?

@@chocolatescorpio3 hey, I didn't do it long at all. Too much invested gas with not much results.

@@Syko7785 ok thanks for the insight!!!

@@chocolatescorpio3 most certainly welcome

Depends on who wants the car. Different banks and dealerships pay a little more or a little less.

Sounds cushy until you gotta get into the nitty gritty and actually repo them with the people fighting you for it.

@@MNDashcam whats the longest you ever had someone hiding the car for

I might not be able to answer everything for legal or privacy reasons but ask away

Well I will totally appreciate what ever you can help with but I’m very interested in starting this business and I’m very unclear on were to start so was. Wondering if you can set me straight please

Many of the ones I chase only have paperwork.

@@MNDashcam when I learned the trade a few years ago I never used any of the apps or cameras simply paperwork and whatever social media could tell me about a person and absolutely loved the chase. I just finished training with a state of the art company and work with a few guys who have never worked off paper and it's sad watching my "trainer" give up simply because the program had nothing else to tell him. But hey he will be compition. Random fun fact, just yesterday I watched guy drag a fwd from behind out of someone's driveway after I explained how he could get it from the front. Plot twist , the owner is getting it back Monday. So it should be jnterest

@@stephentodd4345 it's absolutely crucial to be able to track stuff down the old-fashioned way because technology will only get you so far. I've done it the old fashioned way for years and I still do it that way but license plate cameras and trackers and all the other fun stuff certainly help.

@@MNDashcam happy to have had the opportunity to learn it that way

If you are good at it you can make a ton of money. A good place to start your night is low-income neighborhoods in the apartment complex lots. Usually quite a few come out of there. Also during the day mall parking lots and shopping center parking lots usually have quite a bit.

@@MNDashcam did you run into any problems with people

@@jasonkojack9423 the way that you see it and I see it in the bank season and the company sees it is you are going to retrieve property that hasn't been paid for.. the way that a lot of these other people see it that you're taking the cars from look at it as you are stealing their vehicle.. so they rationalize all sorts of violent actions against you in order to keep the vehicle. Be prepared to get into scuffles and have weapon pulled on you.

Once it's up for repo, doesn't matter how far you run. Whatever repo company finds it will grab it and then there are long haul shippers that will bring the car back if necessary or it may end up at a local auction houses.

Then the cameras can't read it. Doesn't stop somebody from getting out to take a look though. Believe me, if you try to hide, you are wasting your effort. There are tons of hidden ways we can find the car.

@@MNDashcam oh I’m not hiding I pay my bills just curious I’m always just over thinking stuff 😂

Get skiptrace software and run credit checks. Best nights are weekdays. Weekends are when people are usually out and the best times are between 1-4am for locating and pickup. Use a smaller car to spot because running a tow truck constantly past the person you are looking for will alert them and will just burn a ton of unnecessary fuel. Be sure to check all the local laws and you will be surprised what you can and can't do and never stop loading to talk to somebody coming out. Get hooked and booked and never give them time to get their buddies there to team up on you. They only have until you get loaded up to hand over the keys and I often tell them they can only remove property from the car if they give me keys.

How much can a person make per confirmed hit by running alpr equipment??? I assume one can get paid per confirmed hit.

@@VTwin4Christ you generally only get paid for the hit when it's successfully picked up.

We have a bunch of options for identifying a vehicle. Taking off your tags and blocking the vin isn't gonna stop anything.

@MNDashcam respect... rs. No bs. I'm in Baltimore. I've survived 7+ months on repo. Tale the tags off. And my Vin is blocked by a card lol

@MNDashcam 🤷🏾‍♂️ tell me how to identify my car. Everyday. I come out. Put the tags on and do Grubhub 9am -12 am (I'm still put 2:09am) when I go in. Take the tags off. Come out tomorrow. Lol. Rs bro. I'm sorry but IT IS THAT SIMPLE

If I see a car with no plates, it usually draws my curiosity. I’ll narrow the search down to the vehicle make and model, and then get out and manually verify the VIN

@@jdub9595 gotcha... now, you walk up to the car, and the "vin" on windshield is blocked. (Let's say the person stuffed a business card from the inside blocking the vin) What's your next move

​@jdub9595 please reply if you get a chance. BTW. It's been over 6 months. I'm still just taking my tags off my car everything I park.. And I still have my Vin number blocked.

​@@jdub9595but I added a small wrinkle. I wrote someone else tags down, that I don't know at all.. just saw the same car as mine in traffic. So now I put a stolen tags paper, with their tag number in my back window, at night when I take my tags off. (Let's just hope that person never ends up on repo 🤣)

@@PettyFoodDeliveryDriver thanks for getting my attention lol. So we would pop open the door and move whatever’s blocking the vin number. We have enough probable cause that this most likely the vehicle we’re looking for, that it would not be breaking and entering.

Malls. Low income housing areas. Apartment complexes. That is where I find the most of them. As you get more experience you will start to see patterns in where they turn up.

@@MNDashcam appreciate it, thanx 🤘

@@MNDashcam is their good money in this ?

@@winz1697 there can be if you work smart. Look for the patterns check the common areas don't be afraid to run through mall parking lots apartment complex Lots especially the Section 8 housing buildings Etc

@@MNDashcam right on! First I ever heard of this I assume job security is good lol I live outside bmore and I saw a ad tonight for this

Sometimes I find them and call in a tow truck, sometimes I am in a tow truck and will grab them when I see them.

@@MNDashcam well I have job interview with them and didn’t know if I was just going to go drive and look. It’s for a spotter. So wasn’t sure exactly what I would be doing.

@@jasonkojack9423 if your position is going to be spotter all you are going to be doing is locating vehicles and calling in a tow truck. I do a little bit of everything so I can spot when I am not currently in a tow truck. When I am in a tow truck sometimes in between service calls I'll run around looking for repo cars and grab them when I see them. In the towing world I'm kind of a jack of all trades and people call me everywhere for everything.

@@MNDashcam thank you so much for your help and quick response. Truly helps me as I go Monday thanks buddy happy holidays I’ll keep you posted or if I have questions maybe you can help. I’m going to fake it till I make it with your help 🤣🤣🤣thanks brother.

@@jasonkojack9423 Good luck! Hope everything goes well. Merry Christmas

We don't care about the people. I'd rather not even see the people. Just looking for the cars.

Thanks for the comment

Do you not pay your bills?

@@MNDashcam cars have been paid off for years. I'm merely protecting my privacy.

@@-_-OB1 if you're not on that list then your plates will never ding. You won't be in the system and there is no privacy to protect because your information won't be there.

@@MNDashcam you might want to look up how LPS scanning programs work. Regardless of pings, every license plate is scanned and pictured and saved. Entered into a database and that info is then sold.
