kind of vehicle it was, ALPR shows exactly who they are. The business may not want to start chasing down the individual or report them to the authorities simply because they spent time on the premises after hours. But, armed with the ALPR information, they can add the plate to a hotlist so that security can be alerted and investigate, regardless of the time of day, the next time the vehicle appears. Building on the power of your security system Once you have an ALPR system set-up for security, there are many opportunities for using the AutoVu data to increase operational efficiency. AutoVu provides basic occupancy data for your parking lots, giving you an overview of how many customers are in there, how long they stay, and at which times of day. Moreover, car counts can provide insight into the number of customers coming through your business at peak times in ways that people counting cannot. While people counting will see a family as four people, it may only purchase as one unit. Car counts are more closely related to the number individual purchasers coming through a business. Finally, ALPR can provide another credential to be attached to customers who wish to have higher levels of engagement during their shopping experience. By tying their license plates to a loyalty program, you can extend white glove service to the perimeter of your premises. You can be alerted when these customers arrive and prepare orders or offer services to load their vehicles as they exit once their shopping is done. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss the many ways in which AutoVu ALPR and Genetec can help secure and improve the efficiency of your business. suspects or vehicles exhibiting suspicious behavior can be entered into hotlists, triggering alarms when they show up again and allowing you to be proactive in contacting the authorities. Your system can also be used in partnership with local law enforcement. This partnership can provide them with leads for incidents on your premises and allow you to participate in increasing the security of your neighborhood in general. ALPR provides the opportunity to collaborate with law enforcement agencies by providing information to them on your terms and by receiving hotlists during ongoing investigations With Genetec, you can take that integration to the next level by using Event-to-Actions to pan cameras to an entrance when suspect plates are read or trigger alarms when vehicles enter lots in the middle of the night. With a Federated ™ system between multiple locations, you can also track vandalism and theft events to vehicles that were noticed in multiple locations prior to their respective incidents, thereby increasing awareness and preventing recurring problems. For example, consider a business located in a non-residential sector that is typically empty by the early evening. This business may decide to set-up an alarm to notify its security team when a vehicle enters its lots late at night. Suppose that, one night, a silver car, plate number ABC 123, enters the lot at 2 am and departs two hours later. While video shows that someone entered the lot and can perhaps reveal what Increasing retailers efficiency with ALPR Stephan Kaiser General Manager, AutoVu Business Unit Genetec Tel: 514-856-7118 Email: skaiser@genetec.com © Genetec Inc., 2017.
