This app will log vehicular traffic on a road or thoroughfare. It will also measure the speed of each vehicle and determine if the speed limit is being broken. It can be configured to text you if someone exceeds the speed limit that you set. The pictures are strategically taken to achieve the best possible view of a vehicle's license plate. Additionally, the pictures are uploaded to Google Photos if you wish.
