How SC Outdoor Works
SC Outdoor uses compatible CCTV cameras and computer vision in BirdWatch to monitor large outdoor parking areas without installing dedicated occupancy sensors at every parking space.
Use compatible CCTV cameras
Third-party CCTV cameras provide video coverage of the parking area.
Analyze occupancy in real time
SC Outdoor computer vision in BirdWatch analyzes the video and determines the occupancy status of individual parking spaces.
Direct drivers to available parking
Real-time availability can be communicated through Matrix LED Displays to guide drivers towards areas with available spaces.
Turn occupancy into intelligence
BirdWatch transforms occupancy data into utilization information, dwell times, reports and statistics.
Up to 100 Parking Spaces. One Camera.
SC Outdoor does more than identify available spaces. BirdWatch combines outdoor occupancy information with data from other connected Quercus technologies, giving operators a more complete view of parking activity and performance.
Continuously monitor available and occupied parking spaces across outdoor parking areas, providing an up-to-date view of parking availability.
Deliver highly reliable occupancy information, with 99% accuracy verified through comparison with real parking images.
Use compatible third-party CCTV cameras for parking occupancy detection, helping operators take advantage of existing or planned camera infrastructure.
Understand how long parking spaces remain occupied and identify parking duration and utilization patterns.
Understand how outdoor parking capacity is being used to identify occupancy patterns, peak periods and opportunities for improvement.
Use BirdWatch® to generate reports and statistics, identify trends and support better operational and planning decisions.
SC Outdoor combines compatible third-party CCTV cameras with computer vision analysis in BirdWatch, providing scalable outdoor parking monitoring without dedicated occupancy sensors at every parking space.
