Add Vehicle List

Add Vehicle List

To add vehicle information to the system, you should create a vehicle list first. When you are adding a vehicle list, you configure an entry & exit rule (when and how to open the barrier for entry & exit), set parking space information, and effective period for it. Vehicle list helps you manage the different vehicles. For example, you add a list for VIP vehicles that enjoy certain privileges, or add a blocklist in which vehicles will not be allowed to enter/exit the parking lot.

Note:

Up to 100 vehicle lists can be added to the system.

  1. Click Vehicle to enter the Vehicle Management page.
  2. Click Vehicle > to enter the add vehicle list page.
    Figure 1. Add Vehicle List Page
  3. Set a descriptive name for the vehicle list.
  4. Optional: Select a color for the vehicle list, and the color will be displayed with the list name.
    Note:

    The color can be used for marking different vehicle list type.

  5. Optional: Select an entry & exit rule for the vehicle list, or create a new rule for the vehicle list.
    Entry & Exit Rule

    An entry & exit rule defines how to open barrier when the system detects a vehicle at the lane. The system can open the barrier automatically when detects a vehicle, or you can also open it manually by clicking Allow button on the Control Client after verifying its identity. If you set Automatic, you need to define when the barrier gate will open automatically.

  6. Optional: Enable and configure parking space control.

    Company A and company B share the same parking lot of 1000 parking spaces, and each company has 500 parking spaces. So you can add vehicle list A and B for them respectively, and set the capacity as 500 for each of them. When there is no free parking space of company A and a visitor of company A needs to park at the parking lot, you can manually allow the vehicle to enter (this function is called Advanced Opening Barrier Gate) and give a parking space of company B to the vehicle for a temporary parking. See User Manual of HikCentral Professional Control Client for details about Advanced Opening Barrier Gate.

    1. Switch on Parking Space Control.
    2. Enter the capacity and free parking spaces of the parking lot.
      Note:

      Vehicles will not be allowed to enter the parking lot if there is no free parking space. You can open the barrier manually on the Control Client to allow the vehicles to enter the parking lot.

  7. Optional: Enable Effective Period and set the effective period for the vehicle list. Vehicles in the list will not be allowed to enter the parking lot when the vehicle list expired.
    Note:

    When you are adding a vehicle to this list later, you do not need to set an effective period for the vehicle, because the vehicle shares the same effective period with its list.

  8. Click Add to add the vehicle list, or click Add and Continue to add the current vehicle list and start adding another vehicle list.

    The added vehicle list will be displayed on the left of the Vehicle page.
