SMART PARKING
SOFTWARE.
We build parking systems that enforce, price, and optimize using cameras instead of meters and chalking.
// The Problem
Traditional parking enforcement is labor-intensive and inaccurate. Officers drive routes marking tires with chalk or using LPR vehicles that cover the same block once every 4 hours. Meter compliance in most cities sits around 50-60%—meaning half the revenue walks away. Dynamic pricing is effectively impossible because nobody knows real-time occupancy.
We build camera-based enforcement and occupancy systems that know exactly which spaces are occupied, how long each vehicle has been there, and whether they've paid. Fixed cameras mounted on poles or structures monitor spaces continuously. Computer vision models identify vehicles by plate, make, and color with 98.5% accuracy in daylight and 96% at night. Violations generate automatically when a vehicle exceeds the time limit or occupies a space without payment.
Dynamic pricing adjusts rates based on real-time occupancy—when a block hits 85% full, rates increase to push demand to nearby underused areas. One city we worked with increased meter revenue by 28% while improving space availability by distributing demand more evenly across their downtown grid.
// Capabilities
Computer Vision Enforcement
Camera-based detection replaces tire chalking and manual LPR patrols. Models identify vehicles by license plate, make, and color at 98.5% accuracy. Violations auto-generate when time limits or payment rules are exceeded. Officers review flagged violations on a tablet instead of walking routes.
Dynamic Pricing Engine
Real-time rate adjustment based on block-level occupancy. When occupancy exceeds the target threshold (typically 85%), rates increase to shift demand to adjacent areas. Pricing rules are configurable per zone, time of day, and event schedule. Revenue optimization runs alongside availability goals.
Occupancy Analytics
Real-time and historical occupancy data at the space, block, zone, and city level. Turnover rates, average duration, peak utilization windows, and demand heatmaps. Data feeds into pricing decisions, enforcement staffing, and urban planning. API available for third-party wayfinding apps.
Parking Management Platform
Back-office platform for enforcement managers, parking directors, and city administrators. Violation management, appeals processing, citation issuance, revenue dashboards, and permit administration. Integrates with existing citation processing vendors and collections agencies.
// Frequently Asked
How accurate is computer vision for parking enforcement?
Our models achieve 98.5% plate recognition accuracy in daylight and 96% at night with IR illumination. Vehicle make and color add a secondary identification layer for partial plate reads. False positive rates for violations sit below 2%, and all auto-generated violations get a human confirmation step before citation issuance.
What hardware is needed for smart parking cameras?
We use standard IP cameras (4K or higher) mounted on existing poles or structures. Each camera covers 8-12 spaces depending on angle and distance. Edge compute nodes (NVIDIA Jetson or rack-mounted GPU servers) run the inference models locally. Connectivity requires 10-20 Mbps per camera depending on resolution and frame rate.
How does dynamic parking pricing work?
Real-time occupancy data drives rate adjustments per block. When a block exceeds the occupancy target (usually 85%), the next pricing tier activates to push demand to nearby lower-occupancy areas. Rates update every 15-30 minutes. The system balances revenue optimization with the primary goal of maintaining 1-2 open spaces per block for availability.
Can you integrate with existing parking meters and payment systems?
Yes. We integrate with ParkMobile, PayByPhone, IPS Group, and most major meter vendors via their APIs. Payment status syncs to our enforcement platform so paid vehicles don't get flagged. For legacy coin-only meters, we overlay camera-based time tracking as the enforcement mechanism.

Core Surveillance & Monitoring
License Plate Recognition & Vehicle Intelligence
Our LPR and vehicle intelligence platform transforms standard surveillance cameras into automated identification sensors that read license plates at speeds up to 120 mph and cross-reference each read against federal, state, and local hotlists within two seconds. Law enforcement clients have achieved a 3x increase in stolen vehicle recoveries and parking enforcement agencies have automated citation workflows that previously required manual plate entry. The system produces court-admissible evidence packages with tamper-evident capture chains that withstand legal scrutiny.
