What This Solution Does
Managing parking lots shouldn't require expensive sensors on every spot. This solution turns a single reCamera into a smart parking monitor — it watches a row of parking spaces, tells you which ones are free and which are taken, all in real time.
Key Benefits
| Benefit | Details |
|---|
| One camera covers multiple spots | A single reCamera monitors up to 3 adjacent parking slots simultaneously |
| Real-time status updates | See free/occupied status with color-coded indicators — green means free, red means taken |
| Smart false-alarm filtering | Built-in stabilization ignores shadows, pedestrians walking by, and brief obstructions |
| No server required | Everything runs on the reCamera itself — no cloud, no extra hardware |
Use Cases
| Scenario | How It Works |
|---|
| Small parking lot | Mount reCamera facing a row of spots, see which are available on the dashboard |
| Garage entrance | Show incoming drivers how many spots are free before they enter |
| Reserved parking | Monitor VIP or accessible spots and get alerts when they're misused |
