A camera and a barrier don’t solve every parking problem
Monitoring-only ANPR records vehicles without stopping them. Barrier-controlled ANPR physically prevents entry. They solve different problems. Many sites also need overview CCTV, occupancy reporting or a clear process for visitors alongside ANPR. I work out which before proposing anything.
What’s included
- Monitoring-only or barrier-controlled ANPR, depending on how much physical control your site needs
- Checking plates against your own permit, staff or visitor list. You manage the list; the equipment checks against it
- Integration with existing barriers, intercoms and access control, reusing what’s on site where possible
- Overview CCTV alongside plate reads, for context when a plate alone doesn’t tell the full story
- Occupancy reporting and space-availability signs where you need visibility of usage
- Reports on unauthorised use, overstays or incidents such as fly-tipping, for you or a parking enforcement partner to act on
ANPR identifies and reports. Permit administration and parking enforcement stay with you or a specialist parking provider.
The process
Every ANPR project starts with a conversation about how your site operates and who’s affected, followed by a site survey. Nothing is assumed before then.
