Cities and public spaces
Sentra gives a municipality traffic counts, parking occupancy and alerts from its existing cameras. Arms drawn on a junction camera count vehicles from each approach to each exit. Bays drawn on a car park camera give free spaces per row. Plates are read on cameras with a view of them and checked against a watch list. Heatmaps show how squares and parks are used. The platform runs on a server the city owns or hosted by Sentra.
Vehicles counted from each arm to each arm, by class, with a spreadsheet export.
Occupied and free spaces from bays drawn on the camera picture.
A plate of interest raises an alert when it is read.
Where people walk and where they stop, over a day, a week or a month.
Junctions
One arm is drawn on each approach of a junction camera and named. Vehicles are then counted from the arm they came from to the arm they left by, in windows from six hours to a week, with a vehicles per interval chart and a class filter. Vehicles lost inside the junction are estimated and marked as estimates.
- Cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles, or exactly the classes ticked
- Coverage stated on the page, partial journeys listed separately
- Spreadsheet export for the traffic engineer
Parking
Parking bays drawn on the camera picture, in rows, give occupied and free spaces per row, live, with a chart of occupancy over the day. A gate count and an operator hand count give the figure for the whole lot.
- Bays marked occupied, free, blocked or hidden behind a vehicle
- Several cameras linked into one lot
- Occupancy over time, exported for planning
Streets and squares
Counting lines on street cameras count vehicles by class with a traffic preset. Heatmaps of squares and parks show where people walk and where they stop, drawn over the camera's own view. Crowding thresholds and unattended objects raise alerts at events.
- Traffic and dwell maps for people and vehicles
- Counts reset hourly or daily, with a coverage figure
- Alerts with a snapshot and a clip in the inbox and on the phone
Vehicles of interest
Plates are read on cameras with a view of the plate. One record per visit keeps the proof image, and a plate is searched together with the vehicle's color.
- Confidence shown on every read, unreadable plates kept as evidence only
- Formats validated for Romania and around forty other countries
- Allowed lists open barriers at municipal car parks
The control room
A videowall shows the cameras of a district on the control room display, and each department holds a role of its own: traffic sees junctions and parking, the municipal police sees alerts and search, an auditor reads recorded footage only. Sites across the city sit in one organization tree.
- Videowalls for a dedicated display, with saved layouts
- Reports on a schedule, by email, per department
- Every view of a recording written to the audit trail
