ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) / ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition)
Parking Solutions
Parking management can be significantly improved with the use of ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition). It is ideal for the management of private car parks, hotel car parks, public car parks; and any parking application that requires methods of preventing unauthorised parking, reducing congestion, raising revenue, providing guidance or for just monitoring usage.
The CitySync Parking solution with our ANPR software and cameras can provide precise and accurate data to help increase your parking revenue and reducing issues. Our ALPR software offers all the usual security features such as hotlists and alarms, alongside advanced features driven by customer requirements which help to control challenging car park situations.
Parking Modules
Server
Server software designed to control multiple lanes from a centralised vehicle database.
Access Control
Relay control to open gates or barriers on a database match.
Create a database of users allowing different user groups to be assigned to automatically open the barrier or send alarms via text or email.
Allocate lanes as specific 'in' or 'out' lanes.
Roll Call
Provides a list of the vehicles currently in the parking ramp which can be searched by vehicle.
Overstay
Automatically exports details of any vehicles that have stayed in the car park longer than the specified time period.
Car Counting
Shows the number of used and remaining spaces in a parking ramp based on how many vehicles have entered/exited.
Provides counts for up to 8 parking structures.
Car Sharing
Car share groups (car pools) can be set up to restrict access to one per group.
Frequent Visitor
Calculates how many times vehicles have been seen on a site over a specific time period which are allocated to a database category on which you can generate alarms or access control. E.g. send an email or text alarm if a vehicle has visited 3 of the car parks a total of more than 8 times in a week.
Temporary Visitors
Add an expected vehicle registration to the database with a preset time period for temporary site access.
White Lists/ Black Lists
Matches number plates against an unauthorised list of car park users and includes an vehicle alert capability.
Identification
Add a driver's photo ID or personal data - these are displayed as a car approaches an ALPR camera.
Alarms
A local alarm will display a visual alert whenever a vehicle listed in a certain category is seen by the ANPR system e.g. VIP's or ex-employees.
Traffic Light or Relay Control
Controls which relay outputs the system will trigger when a vehicle is seen and allowed/ denied access. You can configure a barrier, traffic lights or third party signs or sensors.
Reporting
Creates graphs showing traffic volume by time, weekday, category, lane, country and dwell times. The module can then compare two sets of dates/periods.
Text Messages
An SMS module, which when used with a CitySync modem, enables messages to be sent ot one or more mobile phones. Text messages can be sent on a database match or on a category-specific alarm.
Email
Allows an email to be sent to one or more recipients with details of the ALPR event that triggered it.
LED Sign or Static Sign Relay Control
This links to a supported LED display sign which can display information about the most recent vehicle, the current car park count or status. This can be used to communicate information to the driver.
Third Party Interfaces
Interfaces to third party ticketing systems. The features include lost ticket look up and ticket mismatch alarm, whereby the system detects if a driver is trying to leave the parking ramp with a ticket that does not match the vehicle that entered.

Security Solutions
CitySync Secure solution protects and controls access to your secure premises using ANPR (or ALPR). It allows you to manage risk and increase security, making your facilities safer and more secure. It provides an advanced vehicle logging and image database management system making it ideal for security and access control applications. The system's key features include multiple image vehicle logging, alarming triggered by vehicles of interest and access control by opening gates and barriers. Other advanced features include text message alerts, reporting and frequent visitor calculations.
ALPR systems are required to read all license plates of approaching vehicles to allow employees access or guidane to specific lanes for fast track entry. The personnel databases can be regularly synchronised and the system can display photos of drivers as vehicles approach for indentification. Staff hotlists can alert security of dismissed employees or known troublemakers, or the hotlists can simply notify staff of important deliveries. Our systems can provide alarms both audible and visual - text messages or automatically generated emails can be sent to key staff informing them of important visitors or intruders.
The access control and timing options can permit or prevent access of certain vehicles at specific times and temporary visitors can be added to the database with a preset time period to grant short term access. The ANPR systems provide accurate site entry and exit records of all vehicle movements including colour images of the vehicle and driver, which can be stored for long periods of time for later analysis and reporting.
The system can also be linked to several Under Vehicle Scanning Systems where plate details and images of the vehicle are stored alongside the under vehicle images for easy identification when an anomaly is detected. Nuclear/Fissile material scanning systems can also be integrated; and multiple colour images and pre/post-event video stored with every passing vehicle.
