Intelligent Car Park Management Solution

Creating innovative, secure, and efficient parking with video protection

Car park operators and drivers have one thing in common: they want parking operations to be easy, secure, and efficient. However, in practice it can be tricky to find a free space after entering a car park. As many drivers will know, this is very frustrating!

Hikvision offers a way to guide drivers to a free space quickly, with products that can be easily combined and integrated for a simple and efficient solution. Streamlining parking, both at a entrances/exits and through the car park, makes operations much more efficient, speeding up the process and potentially freeing up spaces more quickly for further occupation. This means maximizing profits on spaces. It also provides extra layers of security, giving peace of mind to drivers and operators alike.

There’s a wide range of options to cater for the requirements of any modern car park.

Free space indicator

Parking Guidance Cameras detects a vehicle in a space and shows its availability status automatically by colored lights, so drivers can easily see where to park. For example, it turns red for occupied and green for free. Different colors can also be used to categorize spaces, for instance for disabled parking.

Free space count

The number of available spaces can be displayed, for example at the entrance to a car park on an LED Display. This uses count information using ANPR data from entrance/exit cameras or Parking Guidance Cameras, and updates immediately when a space fills, or becomes free. It informs a driver right from the start if there’s space inside the car park.

Search video by time

Operators can search the Parking Guidance Camera footage via the Parking Control Panel by time, to see activity in the car park, if there’s an incident. So, if something happens at a particular time, an operator can see if there were any alerts at that time, and investigate.

Parking Guidance

With larger, more complex car parks, drivers need more guidance to find a free space quickly. Parking Guidance takes data from entrance/exit ANPR cameras and Parking Guidance Cameras, and displays it on screens around the car park. The screens display arrows alongside the count, showing how many spaces in a certain area. 

Search video by license plate

Operators can search for license plates in the HikCentral VMS using ANPR data from the Parking Guidance Camera, increasing security and providing a useful feature if an incident occurs. For example, a ‘hit and run’ accident could be investigated. This data is also used by a Parking Inquiry Machine (see below).

Access control barrier by license plate

Controlling access to the garage with an Access Control Barrier Gate means only vehicles registered, or paid, can enter, increasing efficiency. A Capture Trigger Radar registers a vehicle as it enters, using ANPR, and raises the barrier if the vehicle is ‘cleared’. This reduces human resources, since there’s no need for a guard on the entrance, for example.

Vehicle locator

Parking Inquiry Machines can be placed at pedestrian entrances to the garage so drivers can find their car if they forget where they parked. They only need to enter their license plate number, and they can see the space, and directions to it, on a map on the screen. The machine picks up their license plate number from the ANPR data through the Parking Guidance Camera, coordinated by HikCentral.

Parking data analytics

Operators can maximize their efficiency, and returns, using management statistics from the system, like detailed entry and exit records indicating occupancy. HikCentral Enterprise VMS is a powerful tool to make this intuitive and can provide a wealth of information in reports to help business decision making.
