Question 1

How does license plate recognition work at parking lots?

Accepted Answer

High-resolution cameras are installed at entry and exit points. When a vehicle arrives, the system captures the license plate, reads it using optical character recognition, and matches it against the permit and payment database in real time.

Question 2

Does LPR work in bad weather or at night?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our LPR cameras use infrared illumination and are rated for all weather conditions including snow, rain, and darkness — critical for Colorado mountain operations.

Question 3

Can LPR replace physical gates and ticket machines?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. LPR enables gateless entry and exit, reducing hardware costs, maintenance, and the friction that slows vehicle throughput at busy lots.

Question 4

How does LPR support enforcement?

Accepted Answer

When a vehicle enters without a valid permit or payment, the system flags it automatically and can trigger enforcement actions — from digital warnings to violation notices — without requiring a physical patrol.

Question 5

Is LPR included with Wins Parking management?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LPR is part of our standard operating platform deployed at every managed property. There are no extra hardware fees or per-scan charges for owners.
