Balancing Growth with Security
New Zealand’s Raglan Holiday Park, a popular destination for travelers, experienced a surge in guests. This growth brought a pleasant challenge: ensuring a smooth arrival experience for all visitors while maintaining park security. Their existing access card system proved inadequate, leading to issues such as unauthorized access and time-consuming gate management.
The Challenge: Security Gaps and Inefficient Processes
Raglan Holiday Park’s previous access card system was antiquated and required an upgrade, allowing unauthorized vehicles onto the property. This resulted in unpaid guests using park facilities and created a security concern. Additionally, the traditional access cards created bottlenecks at the gates, causing frustration for arriving guests, especially during peak seasons. Staff spent a significant amount of time resolving access issues instead of focusing on guest services.
The Solution: From Cards to ANPR Cameras
To address these challenges, Raglan Holiday Park partnered with Aero NZ to implement a comprehensive access control system. This innovative solution leverages the power of Adaptive Recognition’s Einar ANPR camera for access control and parking at its core, seamlessly integrated with Raglan’s existing booking platform.
The Benefits: A More Secure and Efficient Holiday Park
The new access control system, developed by Aero NZ and featuring Adaptive Recognition’s Einar ANPR/ALPR cameras at its core, has transformed Raglan Holiday Park’s approach to security and guest experience. Einar’s accurate license plate recognition technology acts as a powerful deterrent against unauthorized access, significantly reducing the number of unpaid guests and ensuring park security. This, coupled with the system’s seamless integration with Raglan’s booking platform Newbook, has streamlined operations and freed up staff time. Automatic LPR entry eliminates queuing frustrations for guests, allowing them to begin their park experience faster. Additionally, the system offers flexibility for diverse vehicle types and convenient automatic access for authorized users.
