AI-Powered Parking Management: How to Upgrade Existing CCTV Systems Without Costly Equipment Replacement

As competition intensifies among construction companies bidding for large-scale condominium redevelopment projects in Gangnam — one of Seoul’s most expensive and high-profile districts — many are proposing “AI-powered parking systems” equipped with advanced technologies. These systems analyze residents’ past parking data to guide them to their preferred spots or recommend optimal spaces for visitors, providing a highly personalized parking experience.

While such systems are being planned primarily for new developments, facility managers of existing condominiums, office buildings, and commercial properties often face practical challenges when considering similar upgrades.

Superb AI’s Video Analytics (Superb VA) solution offers the most practical and effective answer to this challenge. Without large-scale reconstruction or costly system replacement, it instantly enables the core functions of an AI parking management system using existing CCTV infrastructure.

The following video explains how Superb VA analyzes parking activity in real time. Even without prior training, the system can be implemented seamlessly and operate smoothly right away.

Challenges and Opportunities in Conventional Parking Management

In many parking facilities today, CCTV plays a passive role, used mainly for theft prevention or post-incident reviews. Systems that rely on staff manually monitoring feeds or checking only entry and exit records struggle to capture and respond to dynamic, real-time changes inside the parking area.

As a result, the following operational challenges often arise:

• Inefficient space utilization: Cars tend to cluster in specific zones while other areas remain unused.
• Overburdened staff: Monitoring real-time parking status and handling complaints require excessive manpower.
• Lack of data-driven decision-making: Without objective data on parking patterns, it’s difficult to improve service quality or design optimized pricing policies.

Superb VA addresses these limitations and transforms parking facilities into smart, data-driven environments that can be efficiently managed and continuously improved.

Key Advantages of Superb Video Analytics

Superb AI’s Video Analytics solution is designed for immediate on-site deployment without complex development processes, delivering the following benefits for parking management systems:

1. High Compatibility and Cost Efficiency

By utilizing existing infrastructure, there’s no need to install new cameras or expensive sensor equipment. You can apply AI capabilities directly to your current CCTV or IP camera setup, dramatically reducing initial deployment costs.

2. Maximized Operational Efficiency with Real-Time Data

The system automatically analyzes parking activity 24/7, 365 days a year. Through an intuitive dashboard, administrators can monitor space occupancy, congestion by zone, average parking durations, and other valuable data at a glance. These insights not only enable flexible staffing but also become a key asset for long-term operational strategy.

3. One Infrastructure, Infinite Possibilities: Multi-Purpose AI for Parking Facilities

The true value of Superb VA lies beyond simple space occupancy detection. Using the same CCTV infrastructure, the system can identify and respond to various on-site situations — maximizing the utility of existing cameras.

• Multi-object detection: AI detects not only cars but also motorcycles, bicycles, and electric scooters, verifying whether each is parked within its designated area.
• Enhanced safety and security: AI can instantly detect events such as vehicle collisions, people falling, smoke or fire outbreaks, and unauthorized access to restricted zones. What was once a passive recording device becomes a proactive, 24-hour safety system that prevents accidents and security breaches.

4. How It Works: Superb AI’s Cutting-Edge Proprietary Technologies

The ability to achieve fast and flexible system expansion stems from Superb AI’s core technological strengths:

• Vision Foundation Model “ZERO” for Instant Implementation of AI Parking Management: ZERO is a powerful Vision Foundation Model pre-trained on massive amounts of video data. It enables the AI to quickly learn new objects or scenarios and achieve high detection performance — without the need to collect data and train a model from scratch for a specific purpose. This is the secret behind our “no pre-training required” confidence.
• Superb Platform for Rapid Enhancement of Custom AI Models:When unique site-specific events or rare object types must be detected, Superb Platform automates and optimizes the entire MLOps lifecycle — from data preparation and model development to deployment and operation. This enables the development and deployment of custom AI models significantly faster than conventional methods.

Beyond Parking: Expanding to Diverse Environments 

The applications of Superb Video Analytics extend well beyond parking management. The same technology can solve problems and enhance safety and efficiency across various industries:

• Retail: Analyze customer movement paths and dwell times, and count visitors by time of day to optimize marketing strategies and staffing.Manufacturing and Construction: Detect whether workers are wearing safety gear (helmets, vests, etc.) in real time, and prevent accidents by controlling access to hazardous zones.
• Logistics: Monitor vehicle queues and backlogs in loading/unloading areas in real time to streamline logistics processes.

Superb Video Analytics is the most effective solution to elevate your organization’s competitiveness in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
