FAQ? Yes!

The camera-based M5 smart-sensor housing has a seal rating of IP66, preventing the ingress of water and dirt from the advanced electronics. Plus, our parking management systems are field proven in extreme conditions ranging from Canada to Saudi Arabia. Concrete proof our technology is able to perform at a peak level, day after day, even in the world’s most challenging environments.

Equipped with two CMOS digital cameras, each smart-sensor can simultaneously monitor up to six parking spaces, three on each side, including in and between spaces. By being able to monitor multiple areas at once, you can be on the lookout for suspicious activity in a more efficient way than ever before. Plus, since recordings can be saved up to 90 days, security can easily work with authorities if needed.

Each M5 smart sensor has an LED light bowl, which can be programmed to display thousands of colors to denote special-purpose parking spaces, including green for standard, blue for handicapped, orange for premium, purple for electric vehicles, etc, to indicate available and red to indicate occupied. Your desired colors can best represent the sections in your parking facility.

The Park Assist automated parking guidance system (APGS) solution provides wayfinding signage for each key decision point in the parking experience via both flat panel display (LCD) and variable message signs (VMS). Often found near entrances or elevators, LCD signs can display dynamic, customizable real-time messaging such as parking guidance, special events/promotions, and scheduled maintenance. Located within garages at decision points, VMS signs can announce the number of available spaces at each parking garage or surface lot, indicate the number of spaces available in each level/section, or be used as directional in-aisle pointers.

Yes. Plus, you’ll have a secure connection to a limitless set of third-party parking-related solutions. With an ever-evolving array of complementary functionalities, this feature extends your data mining capabilities.

The Park Assist APGS solution’s integrated LPR makes it easy to identify and report suspicious vehicles by keeping track of vehicles entering and exiting your parking garage at any given time. The various software modules available use LPR to: automatically monitor who is parking in what section of the parking garage, send instant alerts for VIP or banned person arrival or when someone parks in a restricted area, and maintain a complete inventory of parked vehicles in your parking facility.

Our autonomous, camera-based smart sensors stream HD video to the central database, INX. Since these cameras capture footage 24/7, your facility can perform real-time monitoring of occupancy and activity with interactive dashboards using live data. The Park View Surveillance add-on software module can capture streaming video when motion is detected or continuously. By being able to monitor multiple areas at once, you can be on the lookout for suspicious activity in a more efficient way than ever before. Plus, since recordings can be saved up to 90 days, security can easily work with authorities if needed.

Without giving away the secret sauce, the data-driven Park Assist APGS solution regularly gathers HD images from the smart sensors for every parking space across an entire parking campus at designated times. After analyzing the data, your facility manager is regularly provided a detailed report, proving the accuracy of the automated parking guidance system (APGS) in a tangible way.

We provide comprehensive support from the initial Project Management phase through the APGS installation process, regardless of who is responsible for installing the system. Post installation, Client Services and Maintenance Support work with you to ensure you receive the best possible service and support, allowing you to focus on delivering an outstanding parking experience to your customers.

• Improved parking efficiency: The intelligent automated parking guidance system (APGS) can guide drivers to available parking spaces quickly and accurately, reducing the time spent searching for a parking spot and increasing the effciency of the parking facility.
• Increased safety: In real-time, the camera based M5 smart sensors can capture images in and around parking spaces, helping to identify potential hazards, obstructions, or safety concerns that could pose a risk to parkers or pedestrians.
• Reduced traffic congestion: By guiding parkers to available parking spaces efficiently, the APGS can reduce traffic congestion in and around the parking facility.
• Cost savings: The automated parking guidance system (APGS) can help to reduce the need for additional parking lot staff or infrastructure, leading to potential cost savings for the facility operator.
• Enhanced customer experience: The convenience and ease of use of the APGS can improve the overall customer experience, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty.

Yes! The world’s only patented camera-based Automated Parking Guidance System (APGS): Further validation for the technology we pioneered.

When we pioneered the first camera-based automated parking guidance system (APGS), TKH Security (formerly Park Assist) literally revolutionized its industry sector. Now our camera-based M4 and M5 Smart-Sensor Systems for parking guidance and beyond have been awarded patents in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia.

The implications are significant. As we’ve said for some time, our innovative M4 and M5 technologies have truly redefined what an automated parking guidance system (APGS) is expected to do. These patent awards are further validation of the unique and diverse benefits that form the business case for investing in the Park Assist solution, our APGS smart-sensor technology.

The first Automated Parking Guidance System (APGS) with core business intelligence

The first dual-core processor sensor-with-a-brain with a dual-core processor, M4 and M5 smart-sensors networks provide advanced processing capabilities to the parking-bay level. These camera-based sensor networks supply comprehensive data to the proprietary INX platform, which comes standard with each installation, for sophisticated data aggregation and analysis of real-time and historical information.

Both for day-to-day operations and macro level decision-making, parking facility owners and operators rely on our patented APGS for the actionable data, predictive analytics, and valuable insights they need to optimize their parking assets. These distinct advantages can be leveraged for a single facility or across a portfolio of properties.

The world’s only patented camera-based parking guidance system

The issuance of US, CA, UK, and AUS patents for the M4 and M5 smart-sensor, the heart of our APGS, serves as further recognition of our leadership in pioneering camera-based parking guidance solutions.
