Quick answer: Patrol managers register devices in PLACA.AI Enforcer so field teams can scan plates, validate permits, and review enforcement activity from the mobile workflow.

Who This Guide Is For

Patrol managers, towing operators, parking enforcement supervisors, and Enforcer app administrators.

Before You Start

• A patrol manager or Enforcer administrator account.
• The patrol property or customer account already approved.
• Camera, mobile device, or stream information ready for setup.
• Driver permissions configured for the field team.

Steps

1. Open the Enforcer menu and select Devices.
2. Add or edit the device record used by patrol staff.
3. Enter the required host, port, credential, or stream information.
4. Assign the device to the correct patrol workflow.
5. Run a field test before active enforcement begins.

Common Mistakes

• Sharing device credentials with users who should not edit device settings.
• Entering the wrong host or port.
• Testing only in the office instead of the patrol environment.

Troubleshooting

• If live scans fail, verify connectivity from the patrol device.
• If permit status does not appear, confirm the property and permit records are synced.
• If drivers cannot edit a device, check their role permissions.
