This is a scratchpad for now.
please do not use it for anything...


Status a/o 2016 01 14: alprd will not connect to the mjpeg stream as configured using this tutorial. not sure why.
according to this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openalpr/oGgXBGCRYws you need to compile opencv with support
for libavcodec-dev, libavformat-dev, and libswscale-dev . previous tutorial does not include this and may break when 
these are included. going back to test.
