I hope I can get some suggestions on a design for parking lot monitoring. In the past, analogue cameras have been randomly (at least this is what it looks like to me) installed all around our parking lots. When a request for video is made, I can never find or see anthing that is of any value.
I now have been tasked with improving these and my first questions was "What are we looking for or trying to do here?" "We want to protect the cars, our members have this expectation!" Is the answer I got.
So, I was wondering how you all would approach this. I already know I want plate and vehicle recognition upon accessing the site. They will all be gated so I can easily solve this one. As for the lot itself, I was thinking PTZ with motion to track and zoom in on movement. Would that work?
What other ideas do you have?
