Quick answer: School administrators register devices in PLACA.AI so cameras and connected hardware can support live parent arrival detection, teacher notifications, and pickup reports.

Who This Guide Is For

School administrators and front desk teams setting up PLACA.AI school pickup automation.

Before You Start

• An active school administrator account.
• School profile and pickup settings configured.
• Device or camera information available.
• Parent and vehicle records ready for testing.

Steps

1. Open the school administrator dashboard.
2. Go to the device list or registration screen.
3. Review the device name, purchase date, active period, and stream link.
4. Confirm the device is active for the school account.
5. Test a registered parent vehicle to confirm the arrival workflow is triggered.

Common Mistakes

• Registering devices before the school profile is complete.
• Testing with a parent vehicle that has not been added to the system.
• Ignoring expiration dates on active devices.

Troubleshooting

• If a parent arrival is not detected, verify the parent plate number is registered correctly.
• If staff do not see notifications, confirm user roles and class assignments.
• If the stream cannot be viewed, confirm device connectivity and school account access.
