The AutoVu™ Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin allows users to consolidate multiple third-party license plate-enabled parking (LEP) systems into a single parking solution. With the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin installed on your Security Center system, you can select and integrate different parking vendors that would not otherwise be compatible.
Pay-by-Plate Sync works with a wide variety of parking permit types, including residential permits, university semester permits, and employee permits, as well as transient parking transactions from pay stations and pay-by-phone systems. For example, you could use your cellular phone to register your license plate with a parking service vendor, and then purchase two hours of parking time at a certain location. Your license plate is added to a virtual permit for a duration of two hours, and Genetec Patroller™ (the in-vehicle enforcement application) is updated dynamically with the information to provide enforcement.
- Update permit information dynamically whenever there are changes (new plates added, removed, edited, and so on).
- Use Patroller for dynamic plate verification and parking enforcement.
- Manage permit lists and enforcement for several different parking providers right from Security Center Config Tool.
- Perform long-term and/or short-term (transient parkers) parking enforcement.
- Create an XML file with the permit read or permit hit data that can be used by third-party ticketing systems.
- Merge permits and permit information from multiple parking providers into a single aggregate Pay-by-Plate Sync permit. This simplifies permit enforcement because you only need to select one permit or zone to enforce in Patroller. You won’t need to switch between different permits when you drive to a different enforcement zone during your patrol.
