A parking control surveillance system is provided for monitoring vehicles within
parking spaces for providing parking enforcement personnel information concerning
authorized and unauthorized vehicles within the parking space. The parking control
surveillance system includes a parking stop having dimensions substantially the
same as traditional cement parking stops located at the rear of a parking space.
The parking stop includes a video recorder for obtaining images of vehicles entering
or exiting the designated parking space. The parking stop further includes a transmitter
for transmitting images and information such as the time of parking transgression
to vehicle enforcement personnel.
