1. A communication system, comprising:
a mobile license plate recognition (LPR) camera system having a first operating mode providing simultaneous scanning for plate detection and city infrastructure video scanning and a second operating mode providing optical character recognition (OCR) operation triggered by detection of a license plate during the first operating mode;
an analytics engine generating, during the first operating mode, infrastructure video data from the scanned infrastructure video for comparison to baseline infrastructure data, the analytics engine generating predictive analytics in response to infrastructure anomalies detected as a result of the comparison;
the analytics engine triggering an alert with a recommended action based on the predictive analytics; and
wherein the analytics engine detects potential unapproved changes to an infrastructure, and the triggered alert further comprises verifying building permits pulled on the infrastructure.
