Community garages and parking

Access control for community garages.

Replace uncontrolled remotes with identified vehicles and permissions that can be added, changed or withdrawn. Onzane connects properties, parking spaces and plates with garage opening.

From authorised vehicle to open door

Every entry responds to a valid permission.

The community keeps a clear relationship between the garage, space, property, vehicle and the means used to identify it.

  1. 01Configure the garage

    Define doors, schedules, spaces and rules for residents, visitors and providers.

  2. 02Link the vehicle

    Associate a plate, tag or credential with a property, space, person or temporary permission.

  3. 03Validate arrival

    The system identifies the vehicle and checks that its authorisation remains active.

  4. 04Record and revoke

    Keep the opening history and disable access when circumstances change.

Automatic vehicle identification

Number plate, RFID tag or both.

Every garage needs a different level of automation. Onzane can work with the appropriate signal and then apply the community’s centralised rules.

Automated entry to a community garage or car park
Identify the vehicle before operating the gate or barrier
01

Number plate recognition

A camera recognises the plate as the vehicle approaches and Onzane checks its authorisation before triggering the opening.

02

Windscreen RFID tag

A tag linked to the vehicle identifies it by radio frequency without a remote, card or phone.

03

Mixed system

Combine the plate and RFID tag to cross-check identifiers, adapt rules and improve control reliability.

Number plate recognition camera for automatic community garage access

Plates managed from the app

Residents keep their vehicle details up to date.

The community can allow each property to manage authorised plates from the Onzane app, within defined quotas and conditions. Changing cars no longer creates a manual task for the manager.

  • Residents manage new plates and changes themselves.
  • Plate limits and rules defined per property or parking space.
  • Relationship between plate, vehicle, resident and valid permission.
  • Temporary access for visitors, maintenance and providers.
  • Optional combination with windscreen RFID tags.
  • Opening history for reviewing incidents and authorisations.

Shared parking spaces

Access control for shared, rotating-use car parks.

Support fair use of shared spaces. Authorise which homes and commercial units can enter and how many vehicles each property may have inside each car park.

01Identification

Number plate, UHF or RFID card

Use number plate recognition cameras, UHF windscreen stickers linked to vehicles or RFID cards linked to properties, with compatible equipment.

02Quotas

Vehicles inside, not just registered

Set how many vehicles each home or commercial unit may have inside simultaneously. When one leaves, it frees capacity for another entry.

03Conditions of use

Rules for each facility

Configure schedules, seasons and different limits per property, including periods without occupancy quota restrictions.

04Onzane app

Up-to-date plates from the app

When enabled by the community, owners can add and update their vehicles’ number plates up to the authorised maximum.

05Gates and facilities

Shared occupancy across gates

Manage several car parks within one community. Within each facility, a vehicle can enter through one gate and leave through another while maintaining a single occupancy record.

06Monitoring

Recorded occupancy and activity

Check recorded occupancy and the properties it belongs to, alongside the history of entries, exits and access attempts.

Everyday parking problems

Deactivation does not depend on recovering a remote.

A permission can be withdrawn from management and ceases to be active across linked media. Operations adapt to simple garages or shared parking schemes.

01Spaces

Fixed, rotating or shared use

Link vehicles to specific spaces or apply different rules when parking works in shifts or with flexible use.

02One-off access

Visitors and service companies

Create authorisations with schedules and expiry for maintenance, cleaning, deliveries or other work.

03Changes and losses

Revocable permissions

Disable plates, tags, remotes or users when a resident changes, a device is lost or a contract ends.

A vehicle-focused solution

The garage connects rules and technology.

This page explains parking operations. Authorisations and hardware are covered separately to avoid mixing search intentions.

01Authorisation

Permissions define who and when

They determine the scope, schedule and validity of each vehicle or person’s right.

See permissions
02Infrastructure

Devices execute the opening

Cameras, RFID readers, relays, doors and barriers make up the compatible physical deployment.

See devices
03Common policy

Other access points share the same base

Pedestrian doors, pools and facilities can be managed under the same community policy.

Frequently asked questions

Access control for community garages.

Answers about plates, RFID, remotes, spaces, visitors and gate automation.

01How are vehicle limits applied per home or commercial unit in a shared car park?

The community defines which properties are authorised and how many vehicles each may have inside simultaneously. When a property reaches its quota, a vehicle must leave to free capacity before another entry is allowed. Rules can vary by schedule, season and property.

02Is the maximum number of registered plates the same as the occupancy quota?

No. The plate limit determines how many vehicles a property can register; the occupancy quota limits how many may be inside at once. When the community permits it, owners manage their plates from the app within the authorised maximum.

03Can a vehicle enter through one gate and leave through another?

Yes. Gates belonging to the same car park share occupancy control. Onzane maintains recorded occupancy per property and allows entries, exits and access attempts to be reviewed. A community can manage several facilities with their own conditions.

04How does number plate access to the garage work?

A camera at the entrance identifies the plate. Onzane checks that it is linked to a valid permission and, if the rules are met, the compatible system operates the door or barrier.

05Can residents change their plates from the app?

Yes. The community can allow each resident to manage the plates linked to their property or space, subject to the number and conditions defined by management.

06What is an RFID vehicle tag?

It is an identifier linked to the vehicle, usually attached to the windscreen. A compatible reader detects it on approach and checks its authorisation without the driver using a remote.

07Can plate recognition and RFID tags be combined?

Yes. A mixed system can cross-check both identifiers or use one as a fallback for the other, depending on the installation and defined security rules.

08Can Onzane support fixed spaces and rotating parking?

Yes. Permissions can be linked to specific spaces or adapted to shared, rotating parking and temporary authorisations.

09Can access be created for providers or maintenance?

Yes. Permissions can be limited to specific dates, schedules and periods, keeping permanent and one-off authorisations separate.

10Must all existing remotes be removed?

Not necessarily. Depending on the installed system, remotes may coexist with the app, plate recognition or RFID tags during a gradual deployment.

11What happens if a remote is lost or a resident changes?

Management can withdraw the linked permission without relying solely on recovering the physical device. The exact action depends on the capabilities of the existing receiver or controller.

Identified vehicles, controlled permissions

Design garage access around the vehicles that actually use it.

We review doors, barriers, cameras, readers, spaces and rules to propose a deployment compatible with the community’s infrastructure.
