7513 Videalert’s automated school safety system automates the enforcement of parking contraventions on keep clear zones outside schools, utilising a single digital high definition PTZ camera to automatically capture offending vehicles without requiring any manual intervention.

It combines video analytics and ANPR to continuously monitor restricted areas and only captures drivers that actually commit an offence by being stationary in a defined ‘watch area’ and exceeding the ‘watch time’.  Video evidence packs are automatically generated and transmitted to the council for review before any PCNs are processed or generated.
