A parking management system controls who enters and leaves a car park and records every vehicle. Residential and office sites usually need ANPR cameras and barriers with an allowed-plates list; public car parks add tickets or payment; large sites add bay guidance. Cost depends mainly on the number of lanes and whether you need payment and guidance.
Key takeaways
- Count lanes in and out: each needs a camera and barrier.
- Allow-list (residents/staff) is simpler than paid parking.
- Guidance screens and bay sensors suit malls and hospitals.
- Software keeps the plate list, visitor passes and logs.
- Quotes follow a site survey of each lane.
