Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about operating ParkSystem POS.
Yes, 100%! ParkSystem POS is engineered with a local-only, offline-first architecture. All vehicle check-in/out records, database operations, camera plate recognition, and receipt printing function seamlessly without any Wi-Fi or cellular data connection.
The grace period allows vehicles a brief overstay window beyond the base parking duration without incurring extra hour charges. For example, if your base duration is 2 hours with a 15-minute grace period, a vehicle staying up to 2 hours and 15 minutes is only charged the base rate. Once the stay exceeds 2 hours and 15 minutes, additional hourly charges apply.
ParkSystem POS supports standard handheld Android POS terminals (including Sunmi V2/V2 Pro, PAX A920, and Nexgo hardware) with integrated thermal printers, as well as external Bluetooth or USB ESC/POS 58mm thermal printers.
When you point your device camera at a vehicle license plate, Google ML Kit processes the camera feed locally on the device in real-time. It recognizes numbers and letters, filters out invalid text via pattern matching, and auto-fills the registration field on your entry screen.
ParkSystem POS offers a Limited Access Plan with Ads, providing essential parking management, license plate OCR scanning, receipt printing, and local history for free, supported by non-intrusive ad placements.
All data remains strictly stored on your local Android device's secure internal database. No records are uploaded to remote servers. You can export daily revenue reports locally or share summary receipts directly via WhatsApp/SMS.
