### Using a Frigate+ (or Native `license_plate` Detecting) Model
Users running a Frigate+ model (or any model that natively detects `license_plate`) can take advantage of `license_plate` detection. This allows license plates to be treated as standard objects in dedicated LPR mode, meaning that alerts, detections, snapshots, zones, and other Frigate features work as usual, and plates are detected efficiently through your configured object detector.

- Scores, alerts, detections, and snapshots work as expected.
- Snapshots will have license plate bounding boxes on them.
- The `frigate/events` MQTT topic will publish tracked object updates.
- Debug view will display `license_plate` bounding boxes.
