SECURITY/AUDIT

All Metric ACCENT 3 machines use metals, materials and process finishes that make them extremely strong and durable pieces of modern street furniture. Both the machine and the vault doors activate a 105dB intruder alarm system if forced. For added security the vault doors are 5mm thick with a fitted anti-drill plate. The lock and key is unique to each customer and there are no master keys. With each cashbox and/or bill box withdrawal, a sequentially numbered receipt is issued which gives the location, cash value and number of tickets sold. A detailed audit is available on all transactions and the last 10 cash box and/or bill box totals. The Metric cash box and bill box retention system is recognized as being the model for the parking industry.

SOLAR POWER

In today’s modern world solar power has rapidly become one of the most popular power sources in the parking industry with many authorities specifically making this mandatory in all bid specifications.

SOLAR POWER ADVANTAGES
Installation Costs –these are dramatically reduced due to the absence of traditional electrical installation methods. The machines can be surface mounted with a minimum amount of roadside disruption.
Environment – natural solar power eliminates the need for an electric power source helping to contribute to a reduction in regional power consumption..
Maintenance – The ACCENT 3 solar machines fitted with a solar panel and ‘accumulator’ battery, can function for up to 5 years with no replacement necessary.

STAND ALONE OR NETWORKED

UNRIVALED MULTI-SPACE TECHNOLOGY
Each ACCENT 3 can operate as a stand alone machine or in a networked group.

Network Benefits- A Pay by Space networked system has benefits for the parking customer. There is no need to return to your vehicle after payment at the Metric ACCENT 3 Pay by Space pay station. A printed receipt with space number and return time offer proof of payment and a reminder of allotted time. The customer is able to add time
to a parking space at any pay station anywhere in your town or city.

Metric Skeye Enforcement Device- A simple, fast, wireless enforcement device delivering real-time status of all Pay by Space parking areas everywhere in your town or city. Each Metric Pay by Space pay station reports all space data to your central server utilizing a GPRS connection. The central server communicates this real-time data to all of your enforcement staff equipped with the Metric SKEYE mobile enforcement device for immediate awareness of the paid status of every numbered space.

The SKEYE mobile enforcement device allows at-a-glance viewing of entire parking areas on- or off-street. View the status of each space from anywhere in the town or city. Speed enforcement and increase revenue by knowing when and where to send enforcement staff. This device eliminates the need to leave their vehicle to determine if a space is expired and no need to read single space meters.

Alert- Real time ‘event’ monitoring. A central server program gathers information from the parking machines and sends this information to any computer for monitoring.

STATS- Reporting package. The underlying technology of this software package is Microsoft SQL database. This enables a number of users to have simultaneous access
to the data for the generation of reports which can in turn be customized to suit
any requirement.
