Car park
Licence plate access control and surveillance for car parks
Entry and exit for authorised vehicles without cards, a log of every plate and surveillance of the whole site.
In short: In a car park we combine plate-reading cameras at entry and exit, barriers connected to the UniFi Access Gate Hub, cameras across the site, pedestrian access with a reader and monitoring from a booth or remotely.
Common situations
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Cards and remotes that get lent out.

What we do in this type of project
Licence plate recognition
Log the plates that come and go and open automatically for authorised vehicles, without remotes or cards.
View serviceGates & garages
Open the gate or garage with your phone, a card or your car's licence plate, and stop handing out remotes nobody keeps track of.
View serviceCameras & CCTV
Cameras placed where they really help, recording on your own premises and alerts only when it matters: people or vehicles, not leaves moving.
View serviceAccess control
Stop copying keys: each person opens the doors they're allowed to, at their times, with a card, PIN or phone, and everything is logged.

Questions about car parks
Can I add plates from my phone?
Yes, authorised plates are managed from the UniFi Access application.
Does it work with existing barriers?
Usually yes, by connecting the Gate Hub to the barrier's open input. We validate it during the visit.
Shall we automate access to your car park?
We survey your lanes and tell you what reliability to expect.
