Number plate recognition to replace wardens

It's amusing how in a few posts and a possible unhappy or confused staff member it's been decided that the anpr trial is to reduce staff. It is a trial that's still in the present not the past. There are more sites tasking part with different types of equipment. I don't want to spoil the fun but the whole point is to make arrivals and entry / exit a smoother process. It's already been stated that it will free up staff to be able to do other duties. In fact we've had recent comms. from the top to verify that.

I presume NPR will aid sites like Notgrove (Bourton) if they have storage areas with people needing access? Ashridge is similar and can be busy with people coming and going.

If the Club communicated more effectively with the Membership JK, it would go a long way to trashing some of the “ have you heard” type of speculation. 

What I am wondering is if it will make later arrivals, post 8pm, a possibility. If no visit to reception is required, details have been given to visitor, and payment up front has been done, then I cannot see why it would be a problem. 

But how will you stop someone turning up at some ungodly hour?

I suppose you program the ANPR only to operate within certain hours? We were on a site in Devon last year and access was via ANPR but it only lasted until mid day on the day of departure so there was obviously some way they could limit access.

if you're pitched on the other club's suites, then there is no access or departure during silent hours (2300 till 0700) .. they seem to manage.

I obviously can't comment ttda but even when information is forthcoming certain folk are all too eager to pull it to pieces word by word. Social media lends itself to that "have you heard" speculation and at times factual information isn't as much fun as there's nothing to get negative over.

Post 8pm arrivals . It doesn't happen much but on the occasion when for example an incident on a motorway holds things up for hours and we then adopt a flexible approach to let folks on later there's always a raft of complaints to answer to afterwards, much the same as the thousands of complaints earlier in the day the network had when we used to be flexible with arrival times. Where do you draw the line, arrivals at midnight? Sounds like a free for all and hopefully after I'm long gone But, times change and who knows what the future holds.

As far as I know WN, if you are staying on a Club Site, (that is once booked in, as per the current norm) once you have a barrier key, you can come and go at whatever time you please. Certainly you get folks having late nights out, setting off somewhere early morning.

I’m just wondering if it might be possible. I’m not sure how clever the ANPR system will be, will it be able to bar new arrivals pre 1pm and post 8pm, but still allow others to come and go as they please? 🙂

I’m sort of having a bit of a problem getting my head around being locked in, or locked out of a Site at certain times to be honest. I fully respect the need for quiet around others, but in the past we have had some very late nights while away, and we have got up really early to catch ferries etc……
