4 Reasons to Use Unity5’s Car Park Monitoring System

Private parking operators often navigate a challenging landscape filled with tight budgets, the pressure to maximise revenue, and the need for efficient management across various site conditions. Many operators grapple with the costs associated with traditional ANPR systems, effective manual patrolling, and the constant struggle to utilise data for informed decision-making.

In this context, Unity5’s latest car park monitoring system, Bay Monitoring, offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges, providing a modern approach where standard ANPR is not possible. Here are four reasons private parking operators are already implementing our latest solution:

1. Flexibility for challenging site locations

Many private parking operators manage locations with unique challenges which can complicate the implementation of traditional ANPR systems, resulting in insufficient coverage and inefficient enforcement. Unity5’s latest solution, Bay Monitoring, is designed to adapt to various environments, allowing operators to effectively monitor parking in these unique situations. This system provides the flexibility needed to manage areas or sites with smaller traffic patterns without the limitations of conventional setups. By utilising consumer-grade cameras, operators can easily install the system in locations where traditional ANPR might not be practical, ensuring robust and effective parking enforcement.

2. Optimise revenue with reduced costs

Operators managing smaller car parks often face challenges in optimising enforcement due to limited resources and staff availability. Bay Monitoring offers a solution that reduces the time spent by wardens on routine checks, freeing them up for other essential tasks. By providing real-time occupancy status and automatic monitoring, the system minimises the need for frequent manual inspections, allowing wardens to focus on addressing more complex enforcement issues or patrolling larger, higher-traffic areas.

This approach saves on warden time by automating routine checks and scrubbing time, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. With Bay Monitoring, parking operators can reallocate their staff more effectively, reducing the workload associated with manual monitoring while still maintaining comprehensive coverage. The system’s flexible setup supports various camera and hardware configurations, enabling operators to select solutions that match their specific needs and budgets, further streamlining parking management and improving revenue by reducing instances of unpaid parking.

3. Improve efficiency by saving time within your teams

Time is a critical resource for private parking operators. Managing small to medium car parks often requires staff to spend significant hours patrolling or monitoring via CCTV, diverting attention from larger enforcement zones that may need more focus.

Unity5’s Bay Monitoring System seamlessly integrates with the Zatpark back office system, allowing for efficient monitoring of parking spaces without the need for constant physical presence. This system automates many aspects of parking enforcement, reducing the time teams spend patrolling smaller sites. With less time required for monitoring, staff can concentrate on more critical areas that demand enforcement, leading to improved productivity and enhanced service delivery.

4. Fast ANPR setup with seamless integrations

For private parking operators managing smaller or remote sites, there is often a perception that setting up monitoring systems can be a lengthy and complex process. However, Unity5’s Car Park Monitoring System has been designed to change that. We have worked tirelessly with our camera partners to ensure that deployments are quick and integrations are seamless, enabling rapid 24/7 monitoring without the need for extensive infrastructure changes.

Our ongoing collaboration with camera providers ensures that the system integrates smoothly with existing parking management tools, such as payment gateways and cashless applications. This approach takes the technical burden off operators, allowing them to focus on running their sites while we handle the technicalities. The result is a cohesive and efficient parking enforcement strategy that continues to adapt and improve over time.

Unity5’s Bay Monitoring addresses the challenges faced by private parking operators, providing a comprehensive solution that enhances efficiency, maximises revenue, and minimises costs. By utilising advanced technology and real-time data, operators can optimise their service delivery and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
