Nowadays, it’s quite important to make property access secure. And, more challenging is to make that process not only secure, but also simple, especially when vehicles get involved.

A Parking Access Control System is one of the best ways to guarantee a safe experience at any facility, for any users that may use it. And it’s a fact that all parking lots should have access control and parking management to ensure safety and security.

The question you may be asking by now is: “do I need a gate access control and security systems for my parking lots and garages?” – well, you may be. But, first, you should know a little more about how these systems work, and how many types there are… let’s walk you through the details!

What is a Parking Control System and how it works?

A Parking Access Control System (ACS) is a system that provides a cleaver security access and convenience to spaces, in this case, parking lots.

Through the combination between software and hardware, Parking Access Control Systems (ACS) can easily authorize who can come in and out of a parking facility, managing people and vehicle access (from bikes to cars and motorcycles).

Furthermore, there are many Parking Access Control System that also provide a way for visitors to request property access from tenants or staff.

It’s important that whatever Parking Access Control System you choose is versatile enough to handle the needs of your spaces…

The several types of systems available Parking Access Control System (ACS)

There are several types of systems available, which can be used individually or combined to find the best solution for parking needs.

Manual security, barrier gate systems and RFID cards are the most common types of systems in use, but with the evolution in technology, more modern systems are becoming available, such as license plate readers. Manual security also involves having more staff to be always present and check credentials, increasing cost by having dedicated staff members for the task.

Barrier systems usually need to be paired with another system to be effective. When paired with RFID cards, the system can be almost automated, but it would still need staff, for example, to validate a guests parking, or process new requests. Barrier systems can also be paired to Keypad Access Control Systems. This combination is an effective way to manage access to several types of spaces through assigned codes. Entering a specific code, grants the user access through the gate.

License Plate Readers are the most autonomous systems! By relying on cameras, it can validate accesses for all cars that try to get in a specific parking lot facility. Furthermore, the system can keep track of various information, such as available parking spots, parking lot security and much more.
