The ParkingPass software has been exceptional. The integrated LPR cameras have made it easy for our patrollers to enforce the parking rules in the communities, with less risk of givebacks. We would highly recommend any property manager, towing or security company to utilize this software.

Our community is utilizing this program for Parking Management and it has truly been a blessing! With tight parking for 198 units, this program allows us to monitor and manage vehicle registrations, illegal parking and limit vehicles per unit. The team is wonderful to work with, quick to respond, and helpful with all of our questions. Would highly recommend to anyone with tight parking as it helps to manage the daily headache of parking in a community.

Before ParkingPass was Implemented at the property I manage, I was unable to account for the residents. I had no idea who had a shady background or who was allowed to live in the community. With the ParkingPass system, not only are the resident ALL registered but we have been able to generate income for the Association which has help with improving the community

Overall it's been a great asset to my community that has struggled with parking so much in the past. These past four years with ParkingPass has been a stress reliever to say the least!
When managing your parking lot, you should be able to identify trespassers easily. That is where ParkingPass.com’s License Plate Reader (LPR) feature comes into play. We even offer three different LPR options to choose from:
With ParkingPass.com, you can install a stationary license plate reader in your lot, similar to those used on red light cameras. You can also install a license plate recognition system on a lot enforcement vehicle, which can even read license plates in motion.
For more accessible parking lot management, you can download our app to use our LPR feature. By using the app, you or your car park managers can scan license plates on every car parked in your lot from your phone. Our license plate readers are here to help you reduce patrol time and manage your lot more efficiently.
“This is critical to our enforcement partners who provide mobile patrolling services to speed up their patrol duties at the property. From a fixed LPR perspective, ParkingPass can understand exactly which vehicles are entering and exiting the property real-time, while creating alerts to interested parties for any unauthorized entry to the property. This helps for overall safety and management of the parking.”
Mathieu Boileau - Owner ParkingPass.
By downloading our app, you can scan license plates with your phone to easily identify who should and shouldn't be in your lot.
When using a car-mounted reader, you'll be able to scan plates from the front of your vehicle, and the data and information will appear on a laptop in the vehicle.
Commonly used on traffic lights or telephone poles, you can arrange these license plate readers throughout your lot to cover a large area.
icense Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, also known as License Plate Readers, uses specialized cameras and software to capture images of license plates from vehicles. Wikipedia explains, “It first uses a series of image manipulation techniques to detect, normalize and enhance the image of the number plate, and then optical character recognition (OCR) to extract the alphanumerics of the license plate.” If you use stationary LPRs, cameras are strategically placed in parking facilities, entry/exit points, or along roadways. If you use a car-mounted LPR, a camera will be placed on the front of your vehicle that sends its data to a laptop inside the vehicle.
License plate recognition mobile apps allow you as a property manager to scan license plates on parked cars from their phones. Once a picture is taken, the LPR software processes the images, extracting the license plate number from the photo. This data is then converted into a machine-readable format, making it accessible for various applications.
ParkingPass.com’s LPR feature uses high-resolution cameras and advanced recognition algorithms to capture license plate data accurately. What sets ParkingPass apart is that you have all the features you need in one parking management system. This also automates parking and your parking enforcement system, increasing efficiency.
Therefore, the software can instantly cross-reference the captured information with the database of registered vehicles in your lot. This enables parking facility managers to track and manage parked vehicles, identify authorized users, and enforce parking rules efficiently. “We make it easy to manage your parking with our reliable and accurate LPR technology,” states Matt Boileau, owner of ParkingPass.com.
According to the University of California, Davis, “LPR increases parking efficiency, provides convenience for the parking customer, and greatly reduces the amount of paper and plastic waste produced.” Implementing license plate recognition technology offers numerous advantages for parking facilities, such as:
At ParkingPass, our License Plate Reader Software feature enhanced security and offers convenient parking solutions for property managers and users. Property managers can automate access control, track occupancy in real time, and generate valuable reports for decision-making.
On the other hand, users enjoy the convenience of hassle-free entry and exit using their registered license plates, reducing the need for physical permits or tickets. This streamlined approach results in improved operational efficiency, enhanced user satisfaction, and an increase in revenue for the property manager. “our LPR technology simplifies parking management and boosts overall efficiency, making it a win-win for both property managers and users,” says Matt Boileau. “Our LPR technology simplifies parking management and boosts overall efficiency, making it a win-win for both property managers and users,” emphasizes our owner, Matt Boileau.
The costs associated with installing and maintaining license plate recognition systems can vary depending on the setup’s complexity and the parking facility’s size. Initial expenses typically include purchasing and installing LPR cameras, software licenses, and any necessary hardware infrastructure. Maintenance costs may involve regular software updates, camera maintenance, and technical support.
ParkingPass.com offers a cost-effective solution for LPR implementation. Our software is designed to work seamlessly with various camera hardware, reducing the need for expensive infrastructure changes. Moreover, our user-friendly interface simplifies maintenance and ensures minimal downtime.

Using LPR technology involves legal and privacy considerations. When collecting and storing license plate data, parking facilities must comply with local and national privacy laws. These include data protection regulations and the Public Records Act, to name a few. It’s crucial to have clear privacy policies in place, inform users about data collection, and secure the data against unauthorized access. “Beyond assisting in the capture of criminals, ALPRs can also be used for traffic safety. This includes speed traps and red-light monitoring as well as parking enforcement” explains TheWeek.com.

Security is the top priority when dealing with sensitive license plate data. Unauthorized access or breaches can lead to privacy violations and legal repercussions. To mitigate these risks, LPR systems must implement robust security measures. Loss Prevention Media states, “To ensure the secure storage and transmission of sensitive data, it is essential to implement robust encryption protocols and standards.”
We employ encryption protocols to protect data transmission and storage at ParkingPass.com. Access controls and authentication mechanisms ensure that only authorized personnel can access the system.

Every parking facility has unique operational requirements, and an LPR system should be able to meet each facility’s unique needs. SDM Magazine highlights, “Many businesses that use LPR technology seek a solution that’s flexible, customizable and designed to operate in almost any environment or weather condition.” Customization options allow property managers to tailor the system to specific operational workflows and policies.
Like all parts of our parking management software, ParkingPass.com’s LPR system is highly customizable. Property managers can configure access rules, connect permits to license plates, and enforce LPR policies to align with their operational needs.
