As part of our ongoing commitment to providing cutting-edge security solutions, Wincon Security is proud to introduce a new license plate monitoring system that will revolutionize parking enforcement across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This advanced system, developed by SenSen Networks and integrated into our mobile patrol units, enhances the effectiveness of parking lot monitoring, offering property managers and parking lot owners an efficient way to manage compliance and security.
The Future of Parking Enforcement
Parking violations can create chaos in lots, reduce the availability of spots for legitimate users, and contribute to general disorder. By incorporating SenSen Networks’ advanced technology into our patrols, Wincon Security can now automate the detection of illegally parked vehicles and streamline enforcement actions. With this system, our team can more effectively monitor parking lots across the GTA, ensuring compliance with parking regulations and providing property owners with comprehensive enforcement capabilities.
This system comes at a time when many parking lots are increasingly becoming crowded, and manual enforcement alone is no longer sufficient. Wincon’s mobile units, equipped with SenSen’s license plate recognition (LPR) technology, provide a scalable and precise solution, allowing property owners to maintain the integrity of their lots while offering parkers peace of mind in a well-managed environment.
How Does the License Plate Recognition System Work?
The LPR system utilizes high-definition cameras capable of scanning license plates in real time. These cameras capture detailed images of every vehicle’s plate as they enter, exit, or are parked in the lot, regardless of the vehicle’s angle.
Our vehicles are equipped with four specialized cameras, including two P1468-LE cameras optimized for angled or street views, and two P3935-LR infrared (IR) cameras designed for capturing plates in direct views. This comprehensive camera setup ensures that all license plates are accurately scanned and recorded.
Once scanned, the system analyzes the plates to verify whether the vehicle is in compliance with parking rules. If a violation is detected, such as non-payment, overtime parking, or unauthorized use of restricted areas, the software immediately flags the vehicle. These violations are recorded in the system along with a timestamp, the location of the infraction, and an image of the license plate.
Key Features of the System
- Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts: The LPR system allows our security officers to monitor parking lots in real time. As soon as a violation occurs, an alert is generated, and officers are notified via an in-vehicle dashboard system. This dashboard displays detailed information, including the location, time, and nature of the violation, allowing officers to take immediate action.
- Comprehensive Enforcement Options: Once a violation is flagged, officers have the option to serve tickets directly on-site or log the infraction for further action, such as towing or issuing a warning. The system is fully integrated with third-party enforcement apps, allowing for seamless processing of fines and penalties.
- Increased Accuracy with OCR Technology: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology ensures that every license plate is captured accurately, reducing the chance of human error. The system also allows for manual review and editing of plate details before violations are finalized, ensuring the highest level of accuracy in enforcement.
- Cloud Connectivity for Data Storage: The system can be configured to upload all data to a cloud-based storage platform, providing property managers with a complete log of all enforcement activities. This feature is particularly useful for auditing and reviewing historical data, and can be tailored to meet the needs of each client.
Enhancing Security and Efficiency
The implementation of SenSen Networks’ LPR system is a major step forward in enhancing the efficiency of parking lot management. By automating many processes traditionally handled by human patrols, the system reduces the risk of missed violations, ensures timely enforcement, and minimizes disputes between parkers and property managers.
For property owners, this means a reduction in operational costs as fewer manual interventions are required. At the same time, drivers benefit from clear and consistent enforcement, leading to better parking availability and an overall improved experience.
