Parking Management

High-accuracy outdoor parking space detection based on AI algorithm can realize simultaneous detection and management of up to 100 parking spaces with more than 98% detection accuracy, which greatly helps guide parking and realizes more efficient and intelligent parking management.

Setting steps are as shown below:

Step 1: Click the button to enable the Parking Space Detection.

Step 2: You can click the button to enable the Parking Image Enhancement, which can help to ensure the detection of parking lots at night, providing 24/7 surveillance monitoring.

[Detection Settings]

Step 3: Set Detection Sensitivity and Occupancy Sensitivity. Level 1~10 are available, the default level is 5.

Table 1. Description of the buttons

Parameters	Function Introduction
Detection Sensitivity	Level 1~10 are available, the default level is 5. The default sensitivity of 5 is the balance point between target missed detection and false detection. The higher the sensitivity, the easier the occupancy is to be detected. Users can adjust the detection sensitivity as needed to avoid some missed or false detection. For example, when the sensitivity is set to 10, it is possible to identify some objects that look like cars as cars, resulting in false detection.
Occupancy Sensitivity	Level 1~10 are available, the default level is 5. The higher the sensitivity, the parking space will be judged to be occupied if it is slightly occupied for a while; the lower the sensitivity, the parking space needs to be occupied for a certain period of time before it is judged to be occupied. For example, when the sensitivity is set to 10, the parking space may be judged as occupied when the vehicle passes by the parking space only briefly.

Step 4: Draw the detection areas based on the parking lot. Click button to configure the information of detection area.

Table 2. Description of the buttons

Parameters	Function Introduction
Area Name	The name of the detection area can be edited. Such as A1, A2, B1, B2. Note: Valid content: 1~10 digits or letters!
Planned Spaces	Enter the number of parking spaces on the drawn detection area. Numbers between 1~99 are available. For example, Area A has 15 planned spaces:
Distribution	Define the distribution of parking spaces. Horizontal and Vertical are available. For example, the distribution of Area A is Horizontal, and the distribution of Area B is Vertical:
Numbering Scheme	Define the parking space numbering scheme and the starting numbers. Increase and Decrease of numbering scheme are available, and the starting numbers between 1~99 are available. For example, the numbering scheme of Area A is Increase from 1, and the numbering scheme of Area B is Decrease to 11:
	Edit the Area Name and Numbering Scheme of the detection area.
	Delete the detection area.
	Save the edit.
	Cancel the edit.
	Delete the all added detection areas.

Step 5: You can drag the detection area to move it. And drag intersections to adjust each parking space.

Step 6: After the configuration, the occupied parking spaces in the detection area will be covered with red to provide a more intuitive interface. And the parking information containing total number, occupied number and available number will be displayed on the interface.

[Report Settings]

Step 7: With high compatibility, the parking information can be reported by HTTP(s).

Step 8: Click the button to enable the Report.

Step 9: Click the button to enable the Periodic Report of parking space. And set the interval period time.

[Parking Information transfer for Post Method]

Camera will post the parking information data in JSON format in real time when it is triggered. The content will be sent is as follows:
