Efficient ANPR Smart Parking Management Solutions

Smart Parking ANPR Technology

Smart Parking’s Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera system is designed to help us monitor private car parks for businesses across the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and the US. ANPR protects against abuse from vehicles that overstay the maximum stay time or by non-customers taking up valuable parking bays, leaving no parking spots for genuine customers.

We are leaders in this field and have been providing our managed car park services to a huge range of industries for over 30 years.

Take the stress out of managing your car park

Our Managed Services completely take the hassle of managing your car park off your hands. We install all the cameras, regulatory signage and any other hardware required (such as Pay and Walk machines) at zero upfront or ongoing cost to our customers.

How the ANPR system works

Motorist

Enters the carpark at the defined entrance

ANPR Recognition

Camera identifies the number plate of cars entering and leaving the premises

Validation & payment

Machines facilitate pay & walk or validate parking

Reporting Software

Automates information and provides detailed reporting

ANPR works through the use of cameras that are specially designed to detect the licence plate of vehicles entering and exiting a car park.

These cameras use high-tech algorithms to ensure that factors such as angles and perspective, mirrored plates, special plates, and plate detail configuration variations have no bearing on the ability to scan and decipher each plate. As well, they use infrared technology to detect changing light levels – enabling a picture to be taken at any time of the day or night.

The data from both the ANPR camera and the on-site ticket validation is wirelessly sent to Smart Parking’s powerful and robust SmartCloud API (Application Programming Interface) dashboard.
This intuitive system works twofold – both improving parking compliance by notifying the operator of overstays or non-payment, as well as making visible an array of information around real-time car park usage and trends for future planning.

After entering the car park in their vehicle, motorists are then required to validate their presence by entering their car’s registration number into the on-site machine. ANPR-run car parks can be configured to allow for a range of parking options, including:

Maximum stay, for example a two-hour limit.
Permit only, where approved vehicles have their details pre-loaded to an approved white list.
Limited free time parking, such as the first three hours being free which reverts to paid parking for longer stays.
A range of all of the above options, on the same car park site.
