Function modes:

Parking Mode ANPR:

For parking space management, it is necessary to record license plates as well as images of vehicles entering and exiting in plain text so that evidence can be provided and penalties enforced. The data is only stored for this purpose and is limited in time, by default to 48 hours.

Warning

This mode may not be used in public spaces without permission and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Statistical recording of the parking duration and countries/regions of the license plates is possible without storing the license plates. The license plates are pseudo-anonymized using a hashing process and thus form the data basis for determining the parking duration. A maximum parking duration of 72 hours can be recorded.

Data protection and security

The BCA processes personal data only vaguely, without storing it and only for the purpose of anonymization. This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR, namely in the legitimate interest of the operator. Only the anonymous data is then used to carry out traffic management. The BCAcomplies with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU. This resulting CE certification is attached to the bottom of the device.
