You can monitor parking zones from the Monitoring task. The Monitoring task tiles can display the parking zone occupancy and the number of violations. If additional surveillance cameras are linked to the parking zone, the tiles can also display their video feeds.
Procedure
- Open the Monitoring task.
-
Double click a parking zone from the area view, or drag a parking zone to a monitoring tile.
If no additional video cameras are linked to the parking zone, the following information is displayed in the tile:
- Parking zone name
- Current parking zone occupancy displayed as a ratio, a percentage, and a circle graphNOTE: The occupancy graph changes from green to orange when the parking zone reaches 70% occupancy. When the parking zone reaches 90% occupancy, the occupancy graph changes from orange to red and starts to flash.
- Current violations, expressed as both a number and a percentage of active parking sessions
- Time and date at which the tile information was updated
If additional video cameras are linked to the parking zone, the following information is displayed in the tile:
- Video feeds from linked surveillance video unitsNOTE: You can cycle the video feeds in the monitoring tile using the controls in the tile widget.
- Parking zone name
- The current parking zone occupancy displayed as a ratio, a percentage, and a bar graph above the video feed
- Current violations, expressed as both a number and a percentage of active parking sessionsNOTE: The occupancy graph changes from green to orange when the parking zone reaches 70% occupancy. When the parking zone reaches 90% occupancy, the occupancy graph changes from orange to red and starts to flash.
