Vehicle Recognition

Automatic vehicle recognition infrastructure.

Connected ANPR systems for ticketless parking and real-time vehicle access control. Every entry and exit logged automatically.

The Problem

What ticketing-based access control costs operators.

Paper Ticket Overhead

Paper ticket dispensers require regular servicing, consumable restocking and regular failure points at entry and exit lanes.

Manual Validation

Without automatic vehicle recognition, staff must manually verify tickets and permits — creating delays and staffing dependency.

Access Disputes

No audit trail for entry and exit events means operators cannot resolve disputes, identify overstays or track enforcement.

Slow Lane Processing

Ticket dispensers and manual barrier releases create queues at entry and exit points during peak periods.

How It Works

Ticketless entry and exit. Every vehicle tracked.

PARQ ANPR cameras read the number plate of every vehicle entering and exiting your site. The plate is matched against payment records, active permits and access rules — and a barrier open command is sent in under two seconds. No tickets. No manual checks. No staff required at the barrier.

  • Camera reads plate on entry — session starts automatically
  • Plate matched against payment, permit or whitelist in real time
  • Barrier opens on valid match — barrier stays closed for non-permitted vehicles
  • Exit triggered automatically on payment confirmation or permit validation
  • Every event timestamped and logged to the cloud dashboard
  • Full audit trail for enforcement, disputes and compliance

Key Capabilities

Built for reliable operation in real-world parking environments.

High-accuracy Recognition

Plate reads logged with confidence scoring. Miss events, low-confidence reads and errors all visible in the operator dashboard.

Sub-2s Processing

From plate detection to barrier command in under two seconds. Traffic keeps moving at busy entry and exit points.

Cloud-connected

All reads stream directly to the PARQ platform. No local server required. Data is available in real time from any location.

All-weather Rated

IP67 rated housing. Integrated infrared illumination for reliable performance in darkness, rain and direct sunlight.

PoE Connectivity

Power and data over a single ethernet cable. Simple installation. No separate power runs required.

Operational Audit Trail

Every entry and exit event stored with timestamp, plate and confidence score. Queryable in the dashboard and exportable for compliance.

Connected Infrastructure

Part of one connected parking system

PARQ hardware is designed to work as part of a unified operational ecosystem — not as standalone devices. Every unit connects to the same cloud platform, sharing data and responding to the same operational logic.
