The SMI Smart Camera System was installed as part of this project to enhance the performance of car access and communication with the parking system. The system uses artificial intelligence to identify vehicles and their license plates, allowing for faster and more accurate access control. It also provides real-time data on parking availability, helping drivers to find a spot more easily.

Here are some specific ways in which the SMI Smart Camera System enhances the performance of car access and communication with the parking system:

  • Faster access control: The system can identify vehicles and their license plates in milliseconds, allowing drivers to enter and exit the parking lot more quickly.
  • More accurate access control: The system is less likely to make mistakes than traditional access control systems, such as those that use barcodes or key fobs. This can help to prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering the parking lot.
  • Real-time parking data: The system can provide real-time data on parking availability, so drivers can see how many spots are available before they arrive at the parking lot. This can help them to find a spot more easily and avoid circling the lot.
  • Improved security: The system can help to deter crime by providing a record of all vehicle movements in and out of the parking lot. This can be helpful in investigating crimes that occur in the parking lot.

Overall, the SMI Smart Camera System is a valuable tool that can be used to improve the performance of car access and communication with the parking system. It is a more efficient, accurate, and secure way to manage parking.
