Expansion Software allows you to handle all the additional lanes at the level of AMPARK™ Manager
Software as well as the AMPARK™ Cashier Station Software.
AMPARK™ Video-check Software:
Digital Video Recorder
Auto thefts from parking locations are quite common. AMPARK Video-check verification system allows taking
a picture of vehicle and store in DVR (Digital Video Recorder) and links it to the transaction database.
The system can capture one or two digital, typically one with a built-in camera
in the ticket machine for the face of the parker and other for the vehicle or its
license plate. The images captured at entry lane can be displayed at either
cashier station for visual verification of user, vehicle or both (on exit cahier
applications).
Optional digital images at exit could be taken and stored in the integrated
DVR for further verification.
AUTOSCAN Ticket Dispenser also named as Entry Control Tower is designed to provide
all normal functions required in typical entry lanes for parking including transient and
monthly parkers. Barcode based entry Control Tower is rugged, yet lightweight fiberglass.
§       Barcode based ticket dispenser includes a Entry Lane Controller as the heart of the
system. This high-power controller monitors all the activity in the lane, operates the entry
gate and provides the interaction to the central PC via a LAN/WAN interconnection.
§       It prints real-time barcode ticket with the date, time, lane #, ticket #, etc. This ticket
can be issued automatically or as soon as the flashing "Touch-for-ticket" button is used.
§       Additional option of CCTV Camera is available.
§       Man / Machine readable ticket with printed date/time/lane in plain English and
real-time bar code for auto-scan at on-line or off-line cashier stations, either central or exit
cashier.

The AMPARK™ Cashier Software along with a touch-screen fee computer offers the
ultimate in operator convenience for central or exit cashiering. It guides the selections at
every step, making the operator training extremely simple and reducing the time for each
transaction.
§       The system records everything and provides audit reports, analysis reports,
exceptions reports and cash reports to help the manager improve performance.
§       Allows simple and user friendly operation as the ticket shows the Entry Date and Time
in both man-readable (plain text) and in machine-readable (barcode) formats. The cashier
simply scans the barcode on the ticket and the system automatically computes the fee;
records the tendered bill amount, and computes the change due to the patron. Cashier role
is limited to collecting the money.
§       Security and controls are built-in at every step. Individual passwords and
authorization levels are offered to the cashiers, supervisors and managers. Every
activity and change is recorded and reported. Audit and exceptions reports are
provided in many different levels in formats that allow the managers to spot problems
before they get serious.
§       Optional Vide0check feature could be added to the cashier.

Lot Full Control:
The Entry Control Towers are capable of tracking all the vehicles passing
through their lane. This data is passed to the capacity control program in
the AMPARK™ Manager Server that controls the Lot Full system. There
are three (3) different types of Lot Full Control, as follows:
  • Lot Full count for transient patrons only: this is the most common approach,
    where a certain capacity is reserved for transient patrons and the Lot Full sign is
    activated when the available spaces count reaches zero.
  • Lot Full count for monthly patrons only: tracks only the monthly cardholders and
    turns off entry if their capacity is used up.
  • Lot Full count for total garage or lot: under this system, the total capacity of the
    lot or garage is monitored, including transient patrons and monthly cardholders.
  • Lot Full Display is designed to be mounted any outdoor pole location and it
    display the appropriate message as indicated by the software.
Lot Full Sign
AMTEL RFID Control:
RFID is becoming the new standard because of its convenience and its speed in
handling up to 3 times the traffic from the same lane as the conventional card entry
system for monthly Users.
The RFID Card is kept in the windshield or on the visor and as the vehicle
approaches the gate, the card is automatically read and the gate opens. The user
does not need to stop, open the window and present the card, thereby cutting the
processing time from a typical 8-10 seconds to less than 3 seconds!
