Turn your existing security cameras into live digital occupancy maps. Instantly guide drivers to empty spots, automate monitoring patrols, and audit parking usage—without buying expensive physical ground sensors.
No Ground Sensors Required
Than Specialty Hardware
No Manual Patrol Audits
Reliable In All Conditions
Improve driver experience, reduce operations costs, and gain complete visibility over your properties.
No need to rip up asphalt, lay wiring, or install battery-powered ground sensors. Lot Vulture connects directly to your existing IP security cameras, converting standard video feeds into parking intelligence.
Identify peak hours, track customer turnover rates, and measure average stay durations. Use historical dashboards to justify parking rate changes or plan lot expansions.
Resolve payment or overstay disputes with concrete visual history. Use our high-precision timeline scrubber to review historical occupancy and see exactly when any vehicle arrived or left.
Avoid legal and regulatory headaches. Lot Vulture counts vehicles without reading license plates or capturing faces, keeping your parking lot 100% compliant with local privacy regulations.
Free your staff from manual, clip-board patrol counts. Automatically generate alerts for vehicle activity in reserved spaces or occupancy limit violations.
Reduce traffic congestion and driver frustration on your properties. Push live vacancy data to digital message boards, websites, or mobile apps to direct drivers straight to empty spots.
Lot Vulture processes standard security camera video feeds to project an instant digital map. Semi-transparent polygons display the state of each space: green for empty/available and red for occupied/taken.
The system accurately runs even at oblique camera angles, long distances, and steep high-ground perspectives, enabling you to track dozens of spaces from a single camera feed without individual hardware installation.
Traditional ground loop sensors are expensive, fragile, and rigid. Lot Vulture replaces physical infrastructure with flexible, edge-AI software.
Equipping a 200-spot parking lot with ground sensors costs $40,000–$60,000 in upfront hardware, routers, and installation labor.
Installation requires physical excavation, closing lanes for days, drilling into asphalt, and running physical wiring lines.
Physical sensors output simple binary logs. If a driver disputes an overstay charge, you have no camera footage or visual evidence to verify the claim.
If you repaint your lot lines or reconfigure parking layouts, physical sensors must be physically dug up and re-installed. They also easily break during snow plowing or heavy storms.
Lot Vulture runs on-device AI. Since it uses your existing standard IP security cameras, upfront capital equipment cost is virtually zero.
No asphalt drilling or closures. Connect your cameras, draw space boundaries in our visual click editor, and you're live in under a day.
Eliminate ticketing and citation disputes. Drag our timeline scrubber to verify exactly when a vehicle arrived or vacated any spot with visual confirmation.
Repaint spaces or change layouts in minutes. Adjust monitoring zones instantly in software using the drag-and-click editor. The software is immune to weather, snowplows, and street sweepers.
Answers to common technical, privacy, and operational questions from parking lot operators and facility managers.
Transforming your parking management is straightforward and requires zero infrastructure changes.

Traditional sensor installations require weeks of disruption, drilling, and high costs. With Lot Vulture, setup is entirely digital. Simply configure your cameras to capture snapshots of your lot, define the parking spaces using our click-to-draw editor, and start collecting analytics immediately.
Unlike cloud-based video services that stream raw video feeds to external servers, Lot Vulture runs entirely on local computers at your property. Raw video feeds never leave your local network, protecting customer data and drastically reducing internet bandwidth costs.
