In addition to the Sharp cameras that read the license plates of vehicles entering a parking zone, you can also associate one or more additional video cameras to the parking zone. This allows the operator to perform surveillance in addition to monitoring parking zone occupancy.
Before you begin
- Create a parking zone.
What you should know
When cameras are linked to a parking zone, the parking zone occupancy information is displayed as a bar graph above the video feed in the Monitoring task.
To monitor parking zones with cameras, you must have one of the following Security Center configurations:
- An Archiver role with available cameras.
- An Omnicast™ Federation™ role to connect to an external Omnicast™ system.
- A Security Center Federation™ role to connect to an external Security Center system with cameras.
