Build V3.0.0

ANPR software for car parks, occupancy and overstay management

Pair compatible Hikvision ANPR entry and exit events into parking sessions, apply your parking rules and keep live occupancy, completed overstays, permits, review and evidence in one self-hosted portal.

Parking intelligence from the same ANPR data

Move beyond isolated plate reads

Build V3.0.0 turns IN and OUT detections into a parking workflow. Operators can see who is currently parked, which vehicles are currently over limit, which completed stays became confirmed overstays and what evidence supports each case.

The software remains self-hosted, with the portal, parking sessions, cases and image evidence on infrastructure you control.

Example scenarios

Practical car park workflows

Maximum stay car parkSet the permitted parking duration and grace period, then identify completed sessions that exceeded the applied rule.
Staff + visitor parkingUse exemptions for staff or authorised registrations while normal visitor stays continue through the standard parking rules.
Busy site with limited capacityUse open parking sessions and configured capacity to show current occupancy and available spaces.
Questionable plate readHold low-confidence detections for review before allowing a corrected or approved registration into the parking workflow.
Vehicle requiring attentionUse watchlist categories to flag particular registrations and acknowledge matching vehicle events.
Completed overstay caseReview entry/exit evidence, update case status and notes, export the record or download an evidence bundle.
Five-stage workflow

From entry to completed evidence

1

Entry captured

IN event opens the parking session and stores the rules that apply to the stay.

2

Monitor live

Open sessions feed occupancy and can surface vehicles currently over their allowance.

3

Exit captured

OUT event closes the session and calculates the completed parking duration.

4

Review result

Confirmed overstays can be reviewed, exempted, moved to action or closed with notes.

5

Export evidence

Download overstay data or a complete evidence ZIP with the available entry/exit imagery.

Self-hosted by design

Keep the parking record under your control

Ruby ANPR is designed for operators who want the portal, database, parking history and capture evidence hosted on their own compatible server.

Retention and access controls remain part of the same Ruby ANPR administration layer.
