LineCam is a solar-powered 4G camera that captures approaching vehicles and feeds real-time plate reads into PLACA.AI to queue students automatically, notify staff, and maintain a verifiable release record.
Only authorized drivers trigger release and every handoff is logged.
Automatic arrival detection reduces congestion and idle time.
Cloud dashboards show Waiting, Arrived, and Dispatched statuses with a simple flow.
The system automatically scans license plates, matches students to the roster, and lines them up for release. Staff receive real-time notifications as parents arrive and dispatch students when they reach the front of the line, keeping the pickup process smooth and organized.
Authorized release control ensures each student is released only to approved drivers. The live pickup board displays a simple Waiting / Arrived / Dispatched view, giving staff complete visibility over the pickup process.
Through the parent dashboard, parents can receive updates like early dismissal notices or designate alternate drivers for pickup. Analytics track wait times, peak periods, and traffic flow, providing actionable insights to continuously improve school pickup operations.
Incoming vehicles appear instantly with student name and classroom.
When the vehicle reaches the front, staff receive a "ready to release" prompt.
Records who arrived, who was released, and when.
Place near lane entries or turning points to maximize capture range and detect vehicles earlier
SIM card and active data plan required for 4G connectivity
Works with PLACA.AI Student Pickup right out of the box
Solar power and 4G LTE make installation at school entrances and car rider lanes fast and wire-free. Setup takes only minutes with onboard Wi-Fi, allowing staff to configure the system locally before it goes live.
The radar-triggered AI system captures each vehicle in sharp detail, delivering accurate license plate snapshots. All events and images are automatically pushed to the PLACA.AI cloud using standards-based protocols like MQTT and HTTP for seamless system integration.
The camera’s weather-resistant housing and strong low-light performance make it well-suited for outdoor school pickup areas. With a 3–15 meter capture range and versatile lens options, it provides clear coverage of entrances, turns, and busy car lanes.
Integrated solar panel and battery for reliable, wireless operation
Radar-assisted quick start capture with AI verification
4G LTE uplink for remote monitoring and real-time alerts
3–15m with 6mm option for school entrances and turns
Simple management via MQTT and HTTP event delivery
IP66 weatherproof housing for outdoor perimeters and car lines
No. It uses solar for power and 4G for backhaul, which speeds up installation at lanes without infrastructure.
Plates are captured when vehicles approach the pickup line, staff see real-time status of arrivals, and students are prepared for release before their designated pickup vehicle reaches the front.
The camera uses radar-triggered capture with AI focus and an outdoor-rated enclosure designed for reliability in varied conditions.
Model carline duration, dismissal staffing workload, and potential time saved when pickup vehicles are identified earlier.
