Parking management matters

Imagine knowing who’s in your parking facility and whether they should be there.

Security Center AutoVu automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) allows you to manage parking, optimize traffic flow, and identify scofflaws. Whether you have on-street or off-street parking, the AutoVu system is ideal for a variety of organizations including municipal parking authorities, universities, and private parking lots.

With over 20 years developing innovative technology, Genetec solutions increase parking enforcement efficiency and compliance with consistent, high-accuracy reading that lets your officers focus on the task at hand.

4 ways ALPR can help

Innovation is at the core of what we do. Have a look at the key features of our comprehensive solution for parking enforcement:

Increase parking enforcement efficiency and compliance

Help your parking enforcement officers enforce multiple parking rules simultaneously and complete their patrols faster by automating license plate reading and identification. Use the data captured by your ALPR system to define routes based on peak occupancy, target areas with lower compliance, automatically identify scofflaws, and reduce ticketing disputes.

Track off-street violations and lot occupancy in real-time

Record vehicles as they enter and leave your monitored lots with gateless off-street parking. AutoVu Free Flow allows you to know when each vehicle entered and compare it to the list of permit holders and payments you’ve received. The end result? You know where the vehicles in violation are and direct enforcement officers to those lots.

Empower your parking personnel to defuse conflicts

Improve your parking enforcement officers’ ability to deescalate conflicts with parkers in violation by equipping them with body-wearable cameras. These cameras record violations and ticketing interventions, associating video evidence to the infraction to provide context for the ticket. Video is easy to find after the fact for criminal proceedings if confrontations spiral into verbal or physical altercations.

Make better decisions

Tap into your wealth of parking data and take insight-driven decisions on infrastructure investment. With historical occupancy statistics for all your lots, you can use lot usage patterns to decide when to plan maintenance and to allocate more parking spaces where they are required.

An all-in-one solution

ALPR that delivers greater insight

The AutoVu ALPR system offers features that heighten accuracy and increase operator efficiency. In addition, ALPR reads are augmented with context images, timestamps, and GPS coordinates and can include wheel images for strict, same space time-limited parking enforcement. By providing this contextual data, the AutoVu system automates evidence gathering and reduces ticketing disputes.

Unification for greater situational awareness

Manage your ALPR needs from a single unified platform so you can seamlessly link ALPR reads to video monitoring, intercom, and gate access events. You can then use ALPR events to trigger actions and alarms across your entire security system. The Security Center platform allows you to investigate events across systems and provides unparalleled reporting capabilities.

On-street + off-street parking

Fixed off-street parking

Monitor off-street parking lots in real-time with AutoVu™ Free-Flow. Free-Flow brings Pay-by-Plate technology to parking lots using fixed ALPR cameras, tracking all vehicles entering and exiting your lots and matching them to payments. Violations are automatically updated in the back office, allowing you to optimize patrol routes and improve officer productivity.

Mobile parking enforcement

Cover more ground and increase enforcement efficiency with a mobile ALPR parking system. Outfit patrol vehicles with compact SharpX cameras and patrol more streets, enforcing multiple parking rules simultaneously and automatically detecting scofflaws on the route. Vehicle color context images provide supporting evidence, allowing enforcement officers to quickly identify and confirm vehicles that are in violation.
