What is Optical Bay Monitoring?
Using video and infrared optics, Highlight Optical Bay Monitoring takes the hassle out of finding a car parking space for customers, while improving the efficiency and profitability for MSCP operators.
How it works
Suited to medium (500+ spaces) to large (2000+) car parks, Optical Bay Monitoring uses super-bright LED clusters with 360-degree visibility to enable clear views of available spaces to car park customers. These can be colour coded for different zones such as disabled parking areas, or parent and toddler spaces. Information collected via Optical Bay Monitoring, including live traffic updates and video, is instantly fed back to your Highlight back-office system.

Testimonials
“The S.A.F.E. system was a guaranteed investment for us. We did of course have a fire alarm system in the car park but, S.A.F.E. provides a far quicker response; we timed it at between seven and eight seconds compared to 12 minutes for our existing system.”
Richard Carney, Project Manager, Severn Trent
“Highlight is a very pro-active and innovative company, who have refined both their back office control package to include bespoke requirements from ourselves on several occasions, as well as software updates to the main systems."
John Buckmaster, Director Office Services, Fluor Ltd
"We were so impressed with the original system in our MSCP "A" with the ease of parking for customers and the extra income it generated through higher occupancy levels, that we had no hesitation in ordering it for our new MSCP “B”."
Bentalls Centre, Kingston-Upon-Thames
"We have worked with Highlight for a number of years and installed their systems in all our multi-storey car parks that we operate on behalf of Heathrow Airport. Their products are innovative, very reliable, highly accurate and are aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, they offer first class support and maintenance. We are very happy with the all round services they provide."
Lee Goodes, UK Area Manager, APCOA Parking
"Highlight Parking were able to upgrade our car park counting system which was not operating correctly. Their team designed and installed a bespoke system to work with our existing display signs and monitored and honed the counts until they were accurate. We are extremely pleased with the system and will be using Highlight to expand the counting onto other areas of our estate in the near future."
