The solution provides a real-time dashboard of parking usage based on license plate recognition and database mapping. Using this dashboard, parking managers can bill more accurately for use as well as determine future parking needs.

Visionful’s real-time reporting dashboard includes video analytics of:
- Customer usage
- Occupancy rates of change
- Spot availability
- License Plate Recognition
Harmonious with Cloudastructure’s security platform, Visionful’s advanced License Plate Recognition features can be integrated with public safety APIs to alert security personnel to the presence of bad actors on their campuses. The feature provides a unique and vital differentiator between Cloudastructure’s award-w****** video surveillance platform and that of competitors.
