Parkva Patrol
Your drivers drive. Parkva checks every plate, so you find the cars with no permit or on your hotlist, without anyone walking the lot.
No more hours a night on foot.
Walking every row, checking tags, and typing plates one car at a time, while the rest of the route waits.
With Parkva Patrol
Scan each lot in minutes, not hours.
Cameras read both sides, 100+ plates a minute. FTR’s drivers can hit 20 properties a shift, not 3 or 4 on foot.
New hires, as accurate as your best.
On night one, a new hire gets the same green or red as a 10-year veteran. Each property’s permits, guests, zones, and your hotlist live on the tablet, not in anyone’s head.
Find violations faster.
Each one used to be a call, a clipboard, or a guess.
See where each car may park.
Each permit type plays its own sound. The read shows its zone, unit, and space.

Be sure before you ticket or tow.
One tap checks the plate again, live. A guest who paid two minutes ago shows as paid, and photos go on the record for when the property manager asks why.
Patrol for security operators
Which cars were there last night?
One drive checks the property’s permits and your hotlist, with a timed photo of every plate. After a break-in, show the property manager which cars you saw. Parking becomes a service you bill.
The Patrol tablet’s two cameras on a night lot, and a hotlist hit: 6WNB317, a stolen Toyota Tacoma. Do not approach; contact dispatch immediately. 
Sunset Ridge’s security report for October 8: the night’s pins on a map, a light out at 2:05 AM, the pool gate latched at 11:20 PM, and the 9:17 PM patrol session, 142 plates.
Patrol for tow operators
More properties a night, same trucks.
The tablet shows cars with no permit as the truck passes, so nobody walks a dark lot, and drivers get out only when there’s work.
The patrol tablet at Sunset Ridge Apartments: 226ZZE, with its photo, is not permitted and has two prior cases here; JXM209, a guest until 6:00 AM, is permitted. 
The case for 226ZZE at Sunset Ridge: no permit, two prior cases here. Violation identified at 9:41 PM, with photos of the plate and the car.
Patrol for law enforcement
Roll call’s list, checked all shift.
Every plate your officers pass is checked against your hotlist, not their memory. A hit reaches dispatch with a photo and the place, and half a plate finds the read later.
The hit’s email to dispatch: Hotlist Hit Detected, Stolen Vehicle. 6WNB317, a silver Toyota Tacoma, at the Civic Center lot, its plate and vehicle photos attached. 
Two reads of 6WNB317 found by searching part of the plate, each with its match, photos, place, and time.
Patrol for property managers
Your operators find violations faster, and you see every pass.
The tow, security, and parking enforcement operators you already work with check every plate on a drive instead of walking rows, so violations are found and handled the same night. Every patrol can show up in your own view of the property: when it ran, how many plates were checked, and what was flagged.
Patrol’s reads at Sunset Ridge Apartments: 226ZZE, a Honda CR-V, not registered and lit; under it 7KTR402, a resident, and HDV9318, a resident, in a reserved space. 
Last patrol at Sunset Ridge Apartments, Oct 10 at 01:56 AM: 412 plates scanned, and nothing needs attention.
Want your own team on it?
A golf cart kit lets your on-site staff, like a courtesy patrol or a maintenance tech, run Patrol on their usual rounds.
A ticket can come before a tow.
One tap prints it in the vehicle. The driver scans its code and sees photos of their car on the page where they pay or appeal, before anyone calls the office.
