Plate recognition
Beta
Cameras with plate recognition register entry and exit, so you can see actual usage instead of guessing at it.
Camera-based entry and exit cannot on its own be the basis for a control fee. The fee must be affixed visibly to the vehicle or handed to the driver on site.
Automatic entry and exit is an add-on to the parking system: an LTE camera at the entrance reads the plate and records when a vehicle drives in and out again. That gives a precise picture of how long cars actually stay, how much visitor traffic there is, and when the site is full. The subscription is per camera and covers hardware, SIM and data, hosting, monitoring and platform access, so no cabling or on-site server is needed.
A round is a snapshot. Entry and exit data shows how long each car actually stayed, which is the only basis that can settle whether a time limit is set right or merely feels right.
With entry and exit registration, visits can be counted and spread across the day and week. The visitor-parking debate at the annual meeting becomes a question of numbers rather than of who has experienced the most.
The camera runs on LTE, and the subscription includes SIM and data, hosting, monitoring and platform access. You do not have to run network to the entrance or find room in a plant room, and there is one price per camera per month.
One site can have several cameras — at each entrance or at a garage — each on its own per-unit subscription. Data is collected on the site, so an area with two entrances still reads as one area.
Observations are held alongside the permits residents maintain themselves, so an entry can be read as resident, visitor or unknown. That is what separates a parking system from a counting device.
It is mounted with a clear view of plates on the way in and out. The placement is agreed during setup, because angle and distance are what decide how many plates read cleanly.
The camera is linked to your site through an onboarding flow. It runs on LTE, so no cable has to be pulled and no ports opened in the association's own network.
Every entry and exit is registered with plate and time. Data accumulates from day one, and after a week or so the patterns start to be readable.
Occupancy per hour and day, dwell time and visitor traffic appear in the dashboard. That is the basis for changing a time limit, moving visitor spaces or scheduling rounds where the pressure actually is.
No, and that is an important limit. Camera-based entry and exit registration cannot in itself form the basis for a control fee: the fee must be placed visibly on the vehicle or handed to the driver on site. Cameras give insight into how the site is used — they do not replace a controller.
It is a subscription per camera per month, and the price includes hardware, SIM and data, hosting, monitoring and platform access. There is no separate hardware investment to depreciate, and one site can run several cameras each on its own subscription. Current rates are on the pricing page.
A registration number is personal data, so processing needs a basis, a stated purpose and a retention period. That belongs in the agreement we make with the association, and the data-use page describes how the information is handled in the platform.
The cameras are built for outdoor operation around the clock, but read quality genuinely depends on placement, angle, light and how dirty the plates are. That is why placement is part of the setup rather than decided on the spot, and why a few unread plates are to be expected.
Yes. Enforcement, permits, visitor parking and payment all work without them. Most associations start there and add cameras when they want to document actual usage — for example before deciding whether to change the number of visitor spaces.
