Parking facilities face ongoing challenges in maintaining security, preventing unauthorized access, and minimizing revenue loss. Traditional surveillance systems often struggle to differentiate between routine activity and real threats, leading to false alarms, missed incidents, and operational inefficiencies.
Over the past five years, parking environments rank third highest in locations where a violent offense occurred, according to the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer, bested only by the home or residence, and highways, roads and sidewalks.
These incidents not only compromise safety but also lead to substantial financial losses. For instance, parking lot crimes account for approximately $6 billion in property losses annually, encompassing thefts, vehicle break-ins, and vandalism. Such security breaches can deter customers, resulting in decreased foot traffic and revenue for businesses. Additionally, property owners may face increased insurance premiums and potential liability issues due to these incidents.
Implementing effective security measures is crucial to mitigate these risks and protect both patrons and assets. That’s where EyesOnIt comes in. Our cutting-edge software transforms parking gate security by using AI-powered video surveillance that eliminates false positives and delivers real-time alerts for the events that truly matter. With advanced detection capabilities and on-site processing, EyesOnIt ensures accurate monitoring without unnecessary distractions or delays. Here are 5 ways our computer vision technology is transforming the parking gate security space with smarter surveillance.
1. Accurate Person & Vehicle Detection
Effective parking security begins with reliable identification of people and vehicles. Many surveillance systems fail to accurately distinguish between different objects, resulting in misidentifications that can overwhelm operators with irrelevant alerts. EyesOnIt, trained on a vast dataset of over 2 billion images, precisely recognizes people and vehicles in various lighting and weather conditions.
This high level of accuracy enables more advanced monitoring, allowing operators to detect anomalies and security risks in real time. By establishing a strong foundation of accurate object detection, EyesOnIt supports smarter decision-making and proactive security responses.
2. Advanced AI Logic to Detect Situations That Matter
Security monitoring is not just about recognizing objects—it’s about understanding the context in which they appear. EyesOnIt combines person and vehicle detection with intelligent logic to differentiate between routine behavior and potential security threats.
For example, a vehicle entering the parking lot and parking in an appropriate space is a routine event that does not require attention. However, if a person exits a vehicle and lingers near a restricted access point, EyesOnIt can recognize this as a potential security concern and trigger an alert. By analyzing activity patterns, the system ensures that operators only receive notifications when action is necessary.
3. Prevent Property Damage & Revenue Loss with Proactive Monitoring
Parking facilities frequently deal with issues such as vandalism, unauthorized access, and lost revenue due to misuse of parking spaces. EyesOnIt helps mitigate these risks by analyzing the activity of both people and vehicles and identifying potential threats before they escalate.
The system can detect loitering near payment kiosks, unauthorized vehicle entry into restricted areas, and other suspicious behaviors. By providing immediate alerts, EyesOnIt enables parking operators to intervene before an incident results in financial loss or operational disruption. With real-time insights, businesses can enhance both security and efficiency.
Eliminate False Alerts from Normal Activity
Traditional surveillance systems often generate excessive false alarms, distracting operators from real security threats. EyesOnIt eliminates this problem by allowing users to define the exact conditions that warrant an alert.
For instance, a vehicle passing through an open parking gate does not require intervention, whereas a person approaching a locked access point may indicate an unauthorized attempt to enter. This level of customization ensures that operators only receive relevant notifications, reducing unnecessary disruptions while improving response times to actual security concerns.
5. Immediate Alerts for Real-Time Action
EyesOnIt processes video data on-site, eliminating the delays associated with cloud-based surveillance systems. When an issue arises, the system instantly notifies operators, allowing them to take immediate action.
If a person exits a vehicle in an unauthorized area, EyesOnIt can stream live video to the operator, enabling a real-time assessment of the situation. The system can also initiate two-way communication to deter unwanted behavior before it escalates. With rapid response capabilities, parking facilities can address security concerns in the moment rather than after the fact.
