CAM-467
A car on the reserved space, with no permit linked
Mid-morning on the street, beside a crosswalk. A reserved space, painted blue with its symbol on the ground and its upright sign next to it, is taken by a dark car. On the sidewalk to the right, a wheelchair user has stopped in front of the space. IRIS sees a vehicle inside the reserved zone and times it from the moment it stopped. Whether there’s a permit or not is answered by the parking lot system.

What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.
- 26 minTime on the space

- 5Different vehicles on the space today
- 0 / 1Reserved spaces free
- 5 h 20 minTime occupied today

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a vehicle occupies a reserved space with no permit linked
Then
- check in the parking lot system whether that space has a permit
- alert the duty staff with the camera and the exact time
- save the video from the moment the vehicle stopped
The instruction that set it up«Tell me when there is a car in a reserved space and no permit is linked to that space.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs the parking lot
A reserved space is only worth something if it’s free when it is needed. Today that comes to light when somebody complains, and by then there’s nothing to show. With the camera the manager has the fact with time and video: a vehicle inside the space, how long it’s been there, and whether the system had a permit linked to that space at that moment. That lets him settle it there and then, not the next day.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know whether the driver holds a parking permit?
No. IRIS doesn’t know who is driving or what papers they carry: it identifies nobody and it doesn’t read plates. It sees that a vehicle is inside a reserved space and how long it’s been there. The permit lives in the parking lot system, and it’s that system that answers whether the space was assigned to somebody at that moment.
What if the car only stops for a minute?
It depends on what the parking lot decides. The threshold is written by whoever runs the site: it can be two minutes, five or none. IRIS times from the second the vehicle comes to rest inside the drawn zone and alerts when the configured time is passed. IRIS doesn’t write the rule.
Does it also work for loading docks or fleet spaces?
Yes. The reserved space is a zone drawn on the image, and it makes no difference what it is reserved for: accessible, charging, permit holder, family, fleet or loading. The zone changes and the system the permit is checked against changes. What the camera does is always the same: see that a vehicle is inside and time it.

Simulation · how IRIS works
This isn’t a video. It’s a slice of the real screen.
A summary of the real interface, played hands-free. You see one case from start to finish; what you don’t see are the other screens, and there are many.
- Finds the plate
- Reads the characters
- Follows the same plate

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.

Who is watching the cameras of a whole branch network?
13 cases: 12 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 decide the rule onceand it’s applied the same way every time.
At three in the morning it means what it means at noon, on camera one and on camera four thousand. It doesn’t depend on who’s on shift, or how tired they are.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
