Camera and parking management inside Milestone

Facility managers who use Milestone’s XProtect Smart Client extensively will appreciate the seamless management and configuration of the parking cameras through the familiar interface.

Additionally, they can access the occupancy data and parking duration overlaid on the camera images within the Smart Client in live and playback modes. In playback mode, a slider allows the user to scroll through the image history and view the occupancy state at any point in time.

Multi-purpose: security camera and parking sensors with one device

The cameras are not limited to parking alone: they can be dual- or even multi-purpose. For example, customers can continue using their cameras for surveillance and security as usual, with all the regular alarms and events Milestone offers, such as motion detection.

Moreover, Milestone’s alarm system can alert to technical issues, such as a camera view offset due to strong wind or vandalism, data archiving issues, or lack of disk space.

How to configure cameras as parking sensors

To configure the parking cameras for single or multi-purpose use, a customer has two options:

Install Parquery’s so-called ‘image publisher service’ that integrates with Milestone and allows configuring all the cameras from within Milestone for automatic image transmission or
Use our standard method of configuring the cameras to directly send the images to Parquery’s server.

Either method works flawlessly and fast.

Configure and manage the cameras within Milestone

After installing Parquery’s image publisher plugin, you will see a list of their cameras on the XProtect Management Client. Simply select the cameras you want to use as parking sensors.

As usual, we at Parquery are on our customers’ and partners’ side and will guide you through the installation and configuration.
