The data in the database must largely be collected by public entities though, municipal and state street/traffic cameras, police cameras, etc.

Vigilant are not setting up their own cameras to collect this.

Untrue. I believe they lease equipment to repo-men, who get discounts (and possibly payments) based on the amount of plate data they feed back to Vigilant.
