Genetec™, a leading provider of parking enforcement and unified IP security solutions recently announced a new partnership with MacKay Meters, a leading Canadian manufacturer of parking pay stations. Together, Genetec and MacKay will offer streamlined integration between the MacKay Guardian™ Multi Elite pay station and Genetec AutoVu, the Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system of the Genetec unified security platform, the Security Center.
AutoVu is designed to automatically identify vehicles parked illegally and alert parking enforcement officers. With AutoVu LPR cameras mounted on parking enforcement vehicles, officers can patrol greater areas with increased frequency, optimising their routes and becoming more efficient. When integrated with MacKay pay stations, the AutoVu in-vehicle software automatically downloads a list of transient license plates with active payments in the zone where MacKay-managed pay stations are being deployed. If the system reads a plate without an active payment, it will raise an infraction alert.
