Unity5 Expands Capabilities with Integration of Affordable Consumer-Grade Cameras

August 12, 2024

London, 12 August 2024 — Unity5 is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to our flagship platform, Zatpark, through the integration of lower-cost, consumer-grade cameras. These cameras retail for as little as £150 and this new capability offers businesses an affordable and accessible solution for effective bay monitoring, broadening the scope of our innovative enforcement management tools.

The integration of affordable cameras, including models from the Reolink Duo 2 family, represents a major step forward in making advanced bay monitoring technology more accessible. Traditionally, high costs have limited the adoption of sophisticated camera systems. By incorporating these lower-priced options, Unity5 is removing financial barriers and enabling more businesses and enforcement providers to benefit from high-quality monitoring without significant upfront investment.

Key Advantages of the Integration:

Cost-Effective Monitoring: The new integration supports cameras priced from £150, such as the 4G solar battery model, offering a budget-friendly alternative without compromising essential features. This affordability makes it easier for businesses to monitor smaller areas or individual bays, enhancing security and operational efficiency.

Proven Accuracy: Feedback from our trial period has highlighted the impressive performance of these consumer-grade cameras, with up to 95% accuracy in optimal conditions. This makes them suitable for various applications, including EV monitoring and parking enforcement.

Seamless Compatibility with Zatpark: Unity5 Bay Monitoring integrates smoothly with Zatpark, leveraging its cloud-native architecture to ensure flexibility and efficiency. The system supports a wide range of camera types, and detailed compatibility information is readily available on our website. Our dedicated support and implementation teams are trained to facilitate a seamless integration process.

Mark Wilson, Chief Commercial Officer at Unity5, commented on this development: “Integrating lower-cost cameras into our Zatpark platform represents a significant milestone for Unity5. This innovative step not only opens up new market opportunities but also democratises access to advanced enforcement solutions. We are excited about the potential to offer even more businesses a chance to enhance their monitoring capabilities with cost-effective and high-performance options.”

These consumer-grade cameras offer an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. They support up to six bays depending on lighting conditions, provide motion detection capability and typically experience only minimal downtime when using solar power.

We recommend these cameras for smaller sites or high-risk locations where cost-effectiveness is a priority. The flexibility of Unity5’s bay monitoring solution ensures that businesses can tailor their monitoring approach to meet specific needs and requirements.

Meet GMP AI ExpressLane: Ticketless AI-PARCS with Enhanced LP Matching

July 16, 2024

Los Angeles, California – July 16th, 2024 – Get My Parking, a pioneer in white-labeled, interoperable smart parking solutions, is excited to announce the launch of ExpressLane, a groundbreaking AI-PARCS that leverages AI to reduce LPR misreads. Providing 100% revenue capture while delivering a super fast ticketless parking experience. 

ExpressLane enables parkers to enter and exit parking facilities without stopping at gates or pulling a ticket, making it ideal for all types of parkers, including visitors, permit holders, fleet partners, or users of your custom-branded parking app. It is a fully managed service where GMP AI repairs and closes sessions quickly and accurately, even if a license plate is misread. 

Easy Retrofit Set Up 

ExpressLane works with both gated and ungated environments and retrofits seamlessly with your existing equipment, saving owners and operators from spending a relative fortune on hardware upgrades. Deployment costs less than $2,000 of hardware per lane, thanks to our Plug-N-Play, off-the-shelf Gatekit. We offer custom signages and digital display software to make parking easier for parkers and operators. Our expert team also provides round-the-clock support to assist you throughout the setup and operations processes. 

Superfast Entry and Exit  

As vehicles drive through an ExpressLane, cameras accurately read license plates with the help of GMP AI, even in challenging conditions such as low light, extreme angles or low visibility conditions. The system automatically initiates a parking session for both registered and transient parkers. On exit, the parking session automatically ends and gates open without manual intervention. 

Flexible Payments 

At exit points, cameras identify the vehicle’s license plate and the display kiosk shows the parking fee. For parkers registered on your app, payment can be automatically collected. Drive-ins can scan a QR code or tap a card at the exit terminal to use their preferred payment method. The wide range of payment options including Apple Pay ensures 100% cashless revenue collection. 

As Accurate as LPR Gets 

ExpressLane enables highly accurate license plate matching technology, supported by real-time AI corrections. GMP AI is trained to identify state codes and plate mismatches to repair and correct parking sessions in cases of bad lighting or illegible license plates. The admin panel also offers manual supervision so that we can provide corrections to further improve the AI. 

Pre-booked sessions and permits 

ExpressLane is built to accommodate pre-booked parking sessions and permits to avoid duplicate sessions or overcharging parkers. With Get My Parking’s integration with Ocra, ExpressLane can identify reservations made through third-party solutions and connect their parking sessions to the same. 

Easy Validations 

Operators can partner with local businesses to offer parking validations. Customers can validate their parking sessions by providing their license plate number or phone number to the staff who chooses the appropriate validation through a self-serve portal. 

Usher in New Revenue 

ExpressLane represents a revolutionary advancement in parking technology, setting up ticketless AI powered-PARCS without the high cost of new gate installations. ExpressLane’s powerful admin tools allow for easy configuration of service fees, parking rates, and validations, providing a significant return on investment from day one. 

Comprehensive Reports and Parking Data Insights 

Keep track of every session, transaction, and parker with detailed reports on intuitive dashboards designed by parking experts. Get a better understanding of your parking data with actionable insights to help you enhance your operations, identify enforceable sessions, and maximize profits with data-driven decisions. 

Upgrade your parking facilities with ExpressLane now and let your customers experience the future of parking today.
