With the Aero Ranger Vehicle Kit properly installed in your vehicle, you only need to turn on the vehicle to start up the Aero Ranger ALPR system. Please wait 5 minutes for the device to fully initialise before driving off, or you may notice the system will not start capturing vehicle number plates immediately.
Power on your included iOS device and open the Aero Companion app to remotely connect to the device for vehicle data monitoring and Parking Violation alerts.
The Aero Ranger platform provides a set of Parking Management tools that allow you to perform Digital Chalking. Save time and effort manually 'chalking' vehicle tyres to detect if they have moved their vehicle or overstayed in a parking zone by letting the Aero Ranger system work for you.
Ask your back-of-office team to set up your organisation's Zones (parking areas) and Zone Categories (parking rules) by following the instructions available in Manage Zones and Manage Zone Categories.
Now you can head out and use the Aero Ranger Vehicle Kit to collect vehicle data. We recommend driving slowly to ensure all vehicles are captured clearly, and performing a sweep of both sides of the street or carpark to collect as much vehicle data as possible.
The first time you detect a vehicle inside a configured Zone, the back-office system will note it as Sighting #1. The next time the vehicle is detected in the same zone, if the configured allowed parking time has elapsed, the system will flag the vehicle as an Overstay Parking Violation and send an instant alert to any email addresses or mobile numbers configured in the Notification List of the Zone Category in the back-office settings as well as play an audio alert in the vehicle via the iOS app.
While connected to a device in Aero Companion, you can choose to show only vehicle data that is flagged as a Parking Violation or an Alert by selecting the Hits Only toggle to the right of the Quick Filter field.
To review information associated with any captured vehicle data, tap to select any vehicle item in the list.
For view more detailed information, you can select the Link icon to the right of the Alert Message display to open the Aero Ranger web dashboard and display a Violation Report for the relevant violation.
