This section provides an overview of a typical City Parking Enforcement workflow. Depending on how Genetec Patroller™ is configured, some of these tasks may not apply to your particular situation. For example, Genetec Patroller™ administrators can disable Manual capture, in which case it won’t be part of your workflow.

Before you begin your patrol

These are the common tasks to perform before you begin patrolling. If you can’t complete the tasks on this checklist, contact the Genetec Patroller™ administrator before starting your patrol.

  • Insert USB key
(Optional) If you use a USB key to download the required Genetec Patroller™ configuration data (e.g. hotlists, permit lists, etc), insert the key, and then tap Apply the Patroller configuration from the USB key.
  • Log on
If this is the first time you’re logging on, you may need to change your initial password.
  • Check cameras
Check the video feed of the Sharp(s) to see that they are working.
  • Check Security Center connection status
If the status indicator on the notification bar is red, it means there’s an error with Genetec Patroller™. Tap the indicator for more information.
  • Check Genetec Patroller™ download status
Tap the download status indicator on the notification bar to verify that Genetec Patroller™ downloaded the required hotlists.
  • Check enforcement rules
Tap Overtime and Permits to see if Genetec Patroller™ downloaded the correct overtime rules and permit lists.

During your patrol

These are the tasks to perform as you’re patrolling.

Task Description Where to find more information
  • Select enforcement rule
Depending on how your system is configured, select an overtime rule, a permit list, or both.
NOTE: The Genetec Patroller™ notification bar and toolbar buttons change color to match the selected rule.
  • Start patrolling
  • If you’re enforcing an overtime rule (with or without a permit list), do your first pass to log the parked vehicles’ current position. De-select the rule when finished, or before moving to a different enforcement area.
  • If you’re enforcing a permit list, you aren’t comparing two points in time as with an overtime rule. Just start patrolling, and respond to hits as needed. De-select the rule when finished, or before moving to a different enforcement area.
  • (Overtime rule) Show due vehicles
After you have done your first pass, tap Show due to see which vehicles are due for enforcement in chronological order. About the Show due button for City Parking Enforcement
  • (Overtime rule) Select the enforcement rule for second pass
  • Select the overtime rule and permit list (if applicable) to enforce, then do your second pass. If any vehicles are in violation, respond to hits as needed.
  • (Optional) If you’re using wheel imaging, select the tire image that corresponds to the captured vehicle plate.
