Comm Port - Video Security and Parking Monitoring

The Comm Port LPR solution is an effective video security and parking monitoring solution that can enforce parking lot security. Many parking lots are rated as 'high-risk' areas due to their poor response to crimes and the frequency of criminal incidents.

Isolated corners or levels of a large lot are difficult for security officers to patrol and monitor. To enhance security and surveillance efficiency, parking lots need high-efficiency digital surveillance systems that provide live monitoring and continuous recording.

PARKING LOT SECURITY SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

The LPR system provides high-resolution video monitoring and recording at good quality. When emergency intercoms are activated or panic buttons pushed, the parking attendants can judge the situation from the live view and respond correctly. The LPR is a reliable security surveillance system that is high on recording performance and low on maintenance.

VEHICLE RECOGNITION

The LPR activates the vehicle recognition process in two ways. One is software video motion detection, which detects vehicles passing through the camera; the second I/O activation, where the action triggers recognition and recording on I/O activation. The system supports two-view modes, including camera overview and picture-in-picture with ease of monitoring.

VIDEO SECURITY AND PARKING MONITORING SYSTEM

The LPR video security and parking monitoring system incorporates several intelligent features for customer service and lot-marketing tools. Parking managers can utilize the database function of the LPR to acquire analysis of lot-utilization rate, such as vehicle counting, monthly parking frequency, or average parking time during holidays or weekdays or at daytime or nighttime; this facilitates effective utilization of parking space.

By integrating with the POS system, the LPR will associate videos with data including license-plate numbers, car entry / exit time and parking fee, and capture the driver's face, car type and the lot toll-booth's cash-register area. In case of fraud ticket or cash-shrinkage investigation, parking managers can search for videos by any data available.

The LPR provides multiple I/O connections to external devices such as gate controllers, loop detectors, TITO system and the DVR; integration can be tailored for specific requirements.

When the TITO system is used and the CCTV cameras are installed in each area and floor of the parking lot, the Comm Port LPR provides a very useful function that helps drivers find their parking location. The entry / exit time, parking fee, license numbers and parking locale will be printed on the parking receipt. When the driver is ready to take his car and leave, he can refer to the ticket to remember where he parked his car.
