ParkCam® EV Charging Spot Recognition Camera
ParkCam® EV Charging Spot Recognition Camera is an intelligent solution designed specifically for managing EV charging spots. This innovative camera integrates a suite of advanced features, including automatic license plate recognition (LPR), vehicle type detection, barrier gate control, dynamic LED display messaging, voice alerts, and snapshot capabilities. By working in real-time with the ParkHelper® Parking Management System, ParkCam® offers a seamless and highly efficient solution to combat common problems like ICEing (internal combustion engine vehicles occupying EV spots) and other parking management challenges. It’s the ideal choice for building a smart EV charging station and optimizing your parking lot operations.
Key Features
Parking Spot Monitoring & License Plate Recognition
The system automatically recognizes license plates and differentiates between.
Non-electric vehicle warning
When a None-EV is detected parked, the display screen automatically shows a message and issues a voice alert to ensure that charging-only parking spaces are not occupied.
Dual-Spot Detection Design
A single camera can cover and recognize license plates in up to two parking spots, significantly reducing deployment costs and enhancing efficiency.
Smart Charging Spot Management
Effectively prevents non-EVs from occupying charging spots. You can also set parking time limits and alert vehicles that are parked for too long without charging, which increases the turnover rate of your charging spots.
Instant Voice & Visual Alerts
When an ICE vehicle mistakenly parks in an EV charging spot, the system triggers an immediate voice alert and displays a message on the LED screen, notifying the driver to move the vehicle and ensuring the spot remains available for EVs.
Barrier Gate Control
The system can directly control smart barrier gates, preventing non-EVs from entering dedicated charging zones and protecting the parking rights of EV drivers.
Lens Obstruction Alert
If the camera’s lens is obstructed, an instant alarm is sent to the central control center, ensuring continuous and secure monitoring.
IP66 Weatherproof Rating
With an IP66 (NEMA-4X) weatherproof rating, the camera is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, guaranteeing stable and reliable monitoring for outdoor charging spots.
