ParkHelper® Parking Management Server – Your Smart Parking Brain
The ParkHelper® In-Space Parking Management Controller is the central control unit of the ParkGuide® Smart Parking Guidance System, purpose-built for modern intelligent parking lot management.
Built on an industrial-grade hardware platform and equipped with a high-performance embedded OS, it processes vast parking data and video feeds in real-time to ensure system stability and reliability.
With RAID 1 redundancy support and up to 64TB storage capacity across multiple RAID configurations, the system offers reliable, high-capacity video storage.
The ParkHelper® controller integrates license plate recognition (LPR), space detectors, real-time video monitoring, and visitor reservation modules, making it scalable across multiple sites.
