​​How our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera system works:

• Carflow erects ANPR cameras at the entrances and exits to your car park. These cameras record vehicle movements and calculate stay times based on these reads.
• Where a motorist has overstayed, we issue a Parking Charge Notice (PCN). This ensures that car park revenue is maximised and parking is available for legitimate users.

This system is suitable for both paid and free stay environments:

• Free stay car parks – many retailers want to allow their customers to park for free at their stores. We put maximum stay time restrictions in place to prevent motorists parking for long periods and clogging spaces. This ensures spaces are available for legitimate customers to park and visit the store. 
• Pay & Display (P&D) car parks – our system is fully integrated with P&D machines where motorists can enter their registration number on an alphanumeric keypad. This allows us to identify motorists who have not paid for the correct amount of time, thereby helping to maximise revenue.
