License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology is a valuable tool for parking lot management. It allows operators to capture data on vehicles entering and exiting the lot, track how many cars are parked in a given structure, and monitor multiple parking lots with one system. There are several reasons why investing in LPR technology is a wise choice for any parking facility.
Maximizes Efficiency
One of the primary benefits of LPR technology is that it maximizes efficiency. By capturing data on every license plate on the premises in real-time, operators can analyze how many cars are usually in the structure at a particular time or the average turnaround rate for cars coming and going. This data can help parking lot managers make informed decisions about staffing levels, pricing, and other important factors.
Moreover, the hotlist control feature allows for up to 10,000 license plates on an “allow” or “block” list per camera. When integrated with a barrier gate, this gives drivers access to the lot without requiring a key card. This feature saves time and money by eliminating the need for a patrol to make rounds to check for unauthorized vehicles.
Highly Accurate
Another significant advantage of LPR parking system is its high accuracy. The technology can detect license plates from a distance of 9-26 feet and at a vehicle speed of up to 25 MPH, making it an excellent option for parking areas with a gated entrance. The ITC237 has a 10-50 mm motorized lens and can detect plates from a distance of 26-98 feet at a speed of up to 49 MPH.
Thanks to AI firmware, both cameras boast a 98-99% accuracy rate in the US states and Canadian provinces where testing was conducted. This level of accuracy ensures that parking lot managers have reliable data on the number of vehicles in their lots and can make informed decisions about staffing, pricing, and other factors.
Economical
Investing in LPR technology is also an economical choice for parking lot management. The cameras are easy to install and have multiple mounting options, so your LPR solution will be up and running in no time. Additionally, the system supports multiple backends – it can stand alone with an SD card or be used with an NVR or DSS product – so you may be able to leverage existing equipment.
Several large cities are glad to provide this product at a lower cost than competing alternatives. This makes it an attractive option for residential complexes, school campuses, retail parking lots with time restrictions, or any parking facility that would normally require a patrol to make rounds to check for unauthorized vehicles.
Conclusion
LPR technology is a valuable tool for parking lot management. It maximizes efficiency, is highly accurate, and is an economical choice for parking facility managers. Investing in Dahua’s parking solution allows operators to capture data on vehicles entering and exiting the lot, track how many cars are parked in a given structure, and monitor multiple parking lots with one system. With the hotlist control feature and high accuracy rates, this system is an excellent investment for any parking facility looking to improve its operations.
