Crown Security Delivers Smart Parking Management System Through Exclusive Parquery Partnership 

Crown Security, Perth’s commercial security specialists, holds the exclusive Australian partnership with Parquery, making Crown Security the only installer in the country able to deliver a fully integrated smart parking management system using this technology. 

The partnership recently earned national industry recognition when Crown Security was featured in SEN News, Australia’s leading security electronics publication, for the successful integration of Verkada cameras with the Parquery platform. For the full story, you can browse the full SEN News article here. 

What Is a Smart Parking Management System? 

A smart parking management system uses AI software to monitor car parks in real time, through standard security cameras already covering the site. The software analyses the camera footage to detect which spaces are occupied, guide drivers to available bays, alert operators when vehicles have overstayed their allowed time, and generate detailed reports on parking usage over time. 

Unlike older systems that require physical sensors buried in each bay or guide lighting throughout the car park, a camera-based system keeps both installation costs and ongoing maintenance requirements significantly lower. 

How Crown Security’s Integration Works 

Crown Security General Manager Saverio Galanti described the project:

 “At Crown Security we’ve been very busy finalising the high-level integration between Verkada and Parquery, and the integration worked perfectly. We chose the new Verkada Bullet Camera 4K as our preferred product for smart parking solutions where the client doesn’t have any cameras in place. Verkada and Parquery are now integrated for guidance, overstay, parking management and security all in one platform.” 

Once the cameras are connected, Parquery’s AI system is set up to the specific parking layout over approximately two weeks. The system then monitors continuously, identifying vehicle presence and vacancies across the entire car park, including separate tracking by floor in multi-storey facilities. 

Operators manage everything through Parquery’s cloud-based dashboard, with no on-site servers to maintain. Reporting is available through Power BI, a business analytics tool that converts the parking data into clear charts and usage summaries. 

What the System Delivered for a Perth Commercial Car Park 

Crown Security recently deployed this solution at a Perth commercial shopping centre. The site faced challenges common to high-traffic car parks: drivers had limited visibility of where spaces were available, traffic movement through the facility was slow, and management had no reliable data on how the car park was being used. 

The system installed across the site included real-time occupancy detection, LED guidance panels directing drivers to available bays, overstay monitoring with automated alerts, and full reporting through Power BI. The result was a more efficient car park, clear data on usage patterns for management, and a noticeably better experience for visitors to the centre.

Crown Security’s Exclusive Australian Partnership with Parquery 

Crown Security holds an exclusive Australian partnership with Parquery, a Swiss-founded parking technology company whose platform is active across more than 100 projects in over 30 countries. Crown Security is the only installer in Australia through which the Parquery system can be accessed and deployed. 

For Perth property managers, it means access to parking technology that has previously been limited to major metropolitan markets overseas, now deployed locally by Crown Security’s engineering team. 

For Perth businesses and property managers, this means working directly with the team that built the Australian integration and manages every local deployment. Crown Security’s engineering team handles the camera specification, the AI setup process, and the ongoing support for every Parquery installation across Western Australia. 

The partnership continues to grow, with Crown Security bringing commercial security and smart parking solutions to commercial and public spaces throughout WA.

Who Can Benefit From a Car Park Management System? 

A car park management system is suited to any property where parking visibility, space use, or enforcement is an ongoing issue. Crown Security serves a wide range of industries and currently deploys the Parquery system across a range of property types: 

• Commercial shopping centres need to manage high-traffic periods, monitor time-limited zones, and reduce congestion. Real-time occupancy data and guided displays address all three. 

• Strata and apartment complexes benefit from tracking resident and visitor parking separately, identifying unauthorised use, and having an accurate record of incidents to reduce disputes between occupants. 

• Healthcare and education facilities use the system to enforce permit zones for staff and visitors, manage peak arrival periods more efficiently, and generate occupancy data for long-term facility planning. 

• Industrial and business parks can monitor contractor and staff parking across multiple zones, with automated alerts for any violations or access issues. 

Because the system is camera-based, sites with existing compatible CCTV cameras can often integrate Parquery without replacing hardware. The platform operates in all conditions, including covered car parks, outdoor lots, unmarked bays, and variable weather, and Parquery reports 99% accuracy in vehicle detection. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

The questions below reflect what commercial property managers, facilities directors, and business owners most commonly ask when evaluating smart parking technology. If your question is not covered below, contact Crown Security’s team directly. 

What are the most common applications of these smart parking management systems?

These highly technical systems are designed exclusively for commercial environments and are not available for residential properties. The most commonly deployment of these include commercial shopping centres, education institutions such as schools, colleges and universities, strata and apartment complexes, and healthcare facilities.

What is a smart parking management system? 

A smart parking management system uses AI software connected to standard security cameras to monitor parking areas in real time. It detects occupancy, guides drivers to available spaces, triggers alerts for overstays, and provides operators with detailed usage reports, without requiring physical sensors in each bay. 

Does a car park management system require new cameras to be installed? 

Not necessarily. Parquery’s software can integrate with compatible cameras that are already on site. For new installations without existing cameras, Crown Security specifies the Verkada Bullet Camera 4K as the preferred option. 

How long does setup take? 

The physical installation depends on the size of the site. The AI setup process, where the system learns the specific layout and conditions of the car park, takes approximately two weeks. After that, the system monitors continuously with no manual input required. 

Who installs smart parking systems in Perth? 

Crown Security holds the exclusive Australian partnership with Parquery and is the only installer of this system in the country. All installations, setup, and ongoing support are managed by Crown Security’s engineering team, based in Joondalup.
