Security Systems for Adelaide Car Parks and Parking Facilities

CCTV coverage, number plate recognition, and emergency intercoms for car parks, multi-level structures, and parking facilities across Adelaide.

Security challenges in car parks

Car parks, whether underground, multi-level, or surface lots, present unique security challenges due to their size, limited natural surveillance, and transient usage patterns.

Vehicle Break-ins

Cars left unattended for hours are targets for smash-and-grab theft. Adelaide CBD car parks and hospital parking areas report frequent break-ins, particularly overnight.

Vehicle Theft

Stolen vehicles are a growing concern. ANPR cameras log every plate entering and exiting, creating a searchable record that helps police track stolen vehicles.

Personal Safety

Isolated, poorly lit car parks create personal safety risks, particularly for people returning to vehicles after dark. Emergency intercoms and visible CCTV provide reassurance.

Vandalism & Graffiti

Stairwells, lifts, and walls in car park structures are regularly targeted by vandals. CCTV deters damage and identifies offenders for prosecution and cost recovery.

Hit-and-Run Incidents

Vehicles are damaged by other drivers who leave without reporting. CCTV footage enables identification of responsible parties and supports insurance claims.

Liability Management

Car park operators face liability for injuries and property damage. CCTV provides evidence to defend against false claims and document genuine incidents accurately.

Our car park security solutions

We design car park security systems that cover every level, every entry point, and every stairwell. Our solutions work in the challenging conditions of parking structures: low light, concrete dust, temperature extremes, and wide open spaces.

  • * ANPR cameras at entry and exit points for plate logging.
  • * Wide-angle cameras covering parking bays and driving lanes.
  • * Lift and stairwell cameras for personal safety coverage.
  • * Emergency help point intercoms connected to security or management.
  • * Motion-triggered lighting integration for energy-efficient illumination.
  • * Remote monitoring for after-hours surveillance.

ANPR for access and evidence

Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras capture every vehicle entering and leaving your car park. This creates a timestamped log that helps with investigations, access control, and even parking enforcement.

For restricted-access car parks, ANPR can function as the access control mechanism itself, automatically raising barriers for authorised plates and denying entry to unregistered vehicles.

Parking facilities we secure

Multi-Level Structures

Commercial and public multi-storey car parks in Adelaide's CBD and suburban shopping precincts.

Underground Car Parks

Basement parking beneath office buildings, apartments, and retail centres with restricted lighting and access.

Surface Lots

Open-air parking areas at hospitals, airports, sports venues, and shopping centres requiring perimeter and bay coverage.

Staff & Resident Parking

Restricted-access parking for office buildings, apartments, and gated communities with automated barrier entry.

How we secure your car park

1. Facility survey

We map every level, entry, exit, stairwell, and lift to identify coverage requirements and camera mounting points.

2. Lighting assessment

Camera selection is matched to lighting conditions on each level. We may recommend lighting upgrades where current levels are insufficient for quality footage.

3. ANPR positioning

Entry and exit ANPR cameras are positioned for optimal plate capture, accounting for vehicle speed, angle, and lighting at approach lanes.

4. Off-peak installation

Installation is completed during low-usage periods to minimise disruption to parking operations and customers.

5. Intercom & help points

Emergency intercoms are installed at strategic locations and connected to your security desk or management office.

6. Testing & handover

Day and night testing confirms coverage quality. Operations staff are trained on monitoring, ANPR search, and intercom response.

Car park security FAQs

Can ANPR cameras work at night?

Yes. ANPR cameras use infrared illumination to capture plate images in complete darkness. They work reliably 24/7 regardless of ambient lighting conditions.

How many cameras does a multi-level car park need?

It depends on the number of levels and layout. Each level typically needs 2-6 cameras plus entry/exit ANPR. We use wide-angle models to maximise coverage per camera.

Can cameras identify hit-and-run vehicles?

Yes. Bay-level cameras capture vehicle detail and damage events, while ANPR logs at entry and exit confirm which vehicles were in the car park at the time of the incident.

What are emergency help point intercoms?

These are weather-rated intercom stations mounted at visible locations throughout the car park. Users press a button to connect directly with security or management for assistance.

Can ANPR control barrier access?

Yes. For restricted-access car parks, ANPR recognises authorised plates and automatically opens the barrier. Unregistered plates are denied entry or directed to a ticket system.

How long is footage retained?

Typically 14-30 days, but we can configure longer retention. ANPR plate logs are lightweight and can be stored for months or years for long-term access records.
