Parkin has introduced phase one of its on-street parking camera rollout at key locations across Dubai, marking the start of a wider smart parking upgrade
Parkin, the largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, is installing more than 500 kerbside and pole cameras – the first of their kind in the region – across Trade Centre 1, Burj Khalifa and Al Corniche.
Building on this, parking lot cameras have also been deployed in controlled parking areas, with a further 200 cameras set to be installed across the city.
The system uses solar-powered, AI-enabled camera technology to capture vehicle images, read number plates, and track entry and exit times. It can also calculate parking duration, flag violations and support automated fee payments.
The rollout is designed to improve parking efficiency through real-time monitoring and automated enforcement, helping to reduce congestion and make it easier for drivers to find available spaces.
All systems will be fully integrated with the Parkin app, allowing users to manage and pay for parking seamlessly via the Parkin Wallet.
Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, commented, “Adopting advanced smart technologies remains central to how Parkin continues to enhance parking management across Dubai. This rollout marks an important step in scaling our smart parking infrastructure and strengthening how customers interact with parking across the Emirate. We remain focused on enabling more efficient access to parking and ensuring seamless management for customers across every aspect of their parking journey, while supporting Dubai’s vision for smarter and more connected urban mobility.”
Eng. Talal Al Ajmi, CTO of Parkin further added, “This deployment marks an important step in advancing Parkin’s smart parking technology, with camera systems and real-time data enabling more efficient and connected parking operations across the Emirate. Integration with the Parkin App supports a more streamlined approach to parking management, improving accuracy and consistency across operations. As we continue to develop our systems, we remain focused on delivering scalable and secure solutions that support the continued expansion of our smart parking capabilities.”
Parkin app is available across iOS, Android and Huawei phones.
