CAM-466
Three hours in a thirty-minute space
Midday in a short-stay area beside the entrance of an office building. The ground is painted blue and the space signage sets the maximum at half an hour. A dark car has been there for over three hours. In the space next to it another car has come and gone in the meantime. IRIS doesn’t follow the car: it watches the space. Each one has a zone drawn over it, and the clock starts when something occupies it.

What IRIS understands
What it recognizes in this scene
- vehicle that has been in the space for over three hours
- sign with the area’s maximum stay
- space’s upright sign
- vehicle in the adjacent space
- zone boundary painted on the ground
- car driving along the aisle
What this camera gives back
Nobody gets an alert here. Here you get numbers.
- 3 h 12 minTime the space has been occupied
- 30 minMaximum stay for the space
- 2Different vehicles in the space today
- 7 h 40 minTime occupied today
- 2 / 6Spaces over the limit right now
- 09:48Occupied since
The figures on this screen are an example from the illustration, not any client’s measurement.
And also, one rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a short-stay space has been occupied for longer than the set time
Then
- time the occupancy of every space from minute one
- count how many different vehicles use the space each day
- deliver turnover per space and per time band
The instruction that set it up«I want to know how long each short-stay space is occupied and how many different cars pass through it in a day.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs the parking lot
Turnover is what sets the price of a space. If the half-hour area is holding three-hour cars, that space yields less than the parking lot thinks, and the figure appears nowhere. By counting how many different vehicles pass through each space and how long each one stays, the manager walks into the meeting with a repeatable number, space by space and hour by hour, instead of an impression.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS read the plate to know how long the car has been there?
No. IRIS doesn’t read plates in a parking lot. It watches the space, not the car: each space has a zone drawn over it, and the clock starts when something occupies it and stops when it leaves. That’s why the figure is the same whoever looks at it, and why you don’t need to know whose vehicle it’s to measure turnover.
Why is this drawn instead of asked for in a sentence?
Because asking is for finding and counting is for measuring, and they aren’t the same job. A sentence finds a car in a video. A figure that will set the price of a space has to come out of the same place every time, and that place is a zone drawn on the image. A line can’t be described in a sentence: it has to be drawn, and that’s what makes the number repeatable.
Is this an alarm?
No. This camera measures, it doesn’t warn. It returns how long each space has been occupied, how many different vehicles use it in a day and at what times. If the parking lot also wants an alert when the limit is passed, that’s set up separately. The value of this camera is the repeatable figure you put on the table in a meeting, not the alert.

When does a bad review get decided?
15 cases: 11 raise an alert when something happens and 4 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who is watching a whole quay at three in the morning?
14 cases: 13 raise an alert when something happens and one only measures. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
You don’t need to buy cameras:you need yours to understand what they see.
Nothing gets built, mounted or rewired. It plugs into what is already up and running, and the only thing that changes is what those cameras understand.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
