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

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a vehicle occupies a reserved bay with no permit linked
Then
- check in the car park system whether that bay 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 bay and no permit is linked to that bay.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs the car park
A reserved bay is only worth something if it is free when it is needed. Today that comes to light when somebody complains, and by then there is nothing to show. With the camera the manager has the fact with time and video: a vehicle inside the bay, how long it has been there, and whether the system had a permit linked to that bay 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 does not know who is driving or what papers they carry: it identifies nobody and it does not read plates. It sees that a vehicle is inside a reserved bay and how long it has been there. The permit lives in the car park system, and it is that system that answers whether the bay was assigned to somebody at that moment.
What if the car only stops for a minute?
It depends on what the car park 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 does not write the rule.
Does it also work for loading bays or fleet bays?
Yes. The reserved bay 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.

- CAM-461 · Four minutes going round and not one free space
- CAM-462 · The sign gets it right because the number comes from the bays themselves
- CAM-463 · Six cars waiting and the queue is already out on the street
- CAM-464 · There is a queue because nobody gets through that machine

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 do not see are the other screens, and there are many.
- Finds the plate
- Reads the characters
- Follows the same plate
Next step
Who is watching a whole quay at three in the morning?
14 cases: 13 raise an alert when something happens and 1 only measure. 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 1 only measure. 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 is 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 does not depend on who is on shift, or how tired they are.
