Quick Overview

Deployment of an ANPR system utilizing Hikvision technology to manage parking for 180 vehicles at Leerbach Palace, replacing a less efficient remote control system and preventing parking misuse.

The Problem

Accessing the parking facility at Leerbach Palace required tenants to pass through a gate barrier, with the initially proposed solution of providing a remote control to each tenant presenting issues such as the cost of remotes, the inconvenience of managing and replacing lost or malfunctioning remotes, and the lack of a centralized record of vehicle entries and exits. Furthermore, a significant problem was the potential misuse of parking privileges by tenants allowing multiple unauthorized vehicles to access the limited parking spaces intended for one resident.

The Solution

  • Designed and deployed an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system utilizing Hikvision’s advanced ANPR Camera technology.
  • The system employs optical character recognition (OCR) and video cameras to capture number plate images and convert them into alphanumeric characters in under a second.
  • Hikvision’s ANPR Cameras offer ≥ 98% recognition accuracy, leveraging advanced deep-learning algorithms and the ability to read number plates from over 120 countries and regions.
  • The cameras are capable of capturing number plates of vehicles traveling at various speeds and can cover multiple lanes.
  • The system functions effectively in varying weather conditions and provides professional low-light imaging for clear vehicle details around the clock.
  • Hikvision’s ANPR technology also identifies vehicle features such as color, type, and manufacturer, as well as travel direction.
  • The ANPR system integrates with a database of authorized vehicle plates linked to tenants, enabling automatic vehicle entry and exit upon recognition. This allows for the ability to limit the number of registered vehicles per tenant, preventing parking misuse.
  • This solution provides seamless and keyless parking access for tenants, a centralized log of vehicle entries and exits, reduced administrative overhead associated with managing remotes, and prevention of parking misuse by enforcing the number of allowed vehicles per tenant.
