Smart Parking Control Solution in Camden Valley
Boom Gate & LPR Case Study for a Hospitality Venue
Unauthorised parking can quickly become a serious operational issue for hospitality venues — especially when guest parking spaces are occupied by non-approved vehicles during peak or night-time hours.
Recently, Camden Valley Inn approached us with exactly this challenge.
The Challenge: Unauthorised Parking After Hours
The venue was experiencing repeated issues with unauthorised vehicles using the hotel car park at night. This resulted in:
Guest parking spaces being unavailable
Frustration for hotel guests
Increased workload for reception staff
Lack of control over after-hours access
The client needed a solution that would secure the car park at night while still allowing easy and flexible access during the day.
Our Assessment & Approach
After conducting a detailed on-site assessment, we designed a custom parking access control solution that balanced convenience, security, and automation.
The system needed to:
Allow free-flow access during daytime trading hours
Restrict access at night
Authorise vehicles without disrupting guest experience
Be simple for staff to manage
The Solution: Boom Gate with LPR Integration
We installed a smart boom gate system integrated with Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, tailored specifically for the site’s operational needs.
Key Features:
Daytime operation: Boom gate remains open for seamless access
Night-time security: Controlled access using LPR technology
Authorisation methods:
Hotel reception approval
Online vehicle authorisation
After-hours control: Only approved vehicles can enter the car park
This setup ensures guests always have access while preventing unauthorised parking after hours.
The Result
The outcome was immediate and effective:
✔️ Unauthorised parking eliminated
✔️ Guest parking availability restored
✔️ Improved guest experience
✔️ Reduced operational stress for staff
✔️ Fully automated, future-ready access control system
The client was extremely happy with the result and now has full control over their car park at all times.
