Preparing for the ReaperHD EOL Trade-In Program
ReaperHD is approaching End-of-Life. Trade in your ReaperHD cameras and upgrade to L5M starting at $275/month through the ReaperHD Trade-In Program.
For more than 9 years, ReaperHD cameras have helped affiliates contribute valuable data to the DRN Network. To help ensure uninterrupted scanning and continued participation in the network, now is the time to begin planning your transition to L5M.
We are launching the ReaperHD End-of-life (EOL) Trade-In Program to help our partner companies transition seamlessly to next-generation L5M mobile LPR technology without interrupting your day-to-day operations.
The ReaperHD Timeline: Key Dates to Know
We want to give you plenty of runway to plan your hardware migration. Please keep these two critical milestones in mind:
- January 2027 – End of Life (EOL): ReaperHD hardware sales and major feature enhancements will officially conclude.
- January 2028 – End of Support (EOS): Technical support, maintenance, hardware repairs, and software compatibility updates will cease.
Important Note: After the January 2028 date, ReaperHD cameras will no longer be able to connect to or process data on the DRN Network. Upgrading early helps ensure your scanning operations remain active and uninterrupted.
