Just saw this on tv today, apparently was invented by a Uk guy, looks interesting.

What you guys Think

Park Safe

isn't that what they use for parking garages?.....dont think that would work too well for a house

Looks no different from the security gate at my workplace garage.

its not a gate...its the yellow lump that u park over....detects any movement of the car, such as rolling away, people getting in, etc

Luke. "Bumping" is for rookies.
Certainly not for Autopians.

Did you post the wrong link then? All I see is a gate to help cut down on urine soaked stairwells...

I don't see how they could possibly guarantee against urine-soaked stairwells. If you bought one and urinated in your own stairwell, do they refund the purchase price?

sorry

as for the product, if u click on the link and then there is a button on the site saying, how the system works, that would more or less explain the product.

Dizzle, my nizzle! I thought they were just touting the gate as the "security precaution." If you do what Luke said and see how it works, you find that it is possible to park the nuclear security codes for any industrialized country in there with little worry (and a younger security guard). Have you seen one of these in the UK yet? I was wondering how much it would cost to park there. Plus, with parking as a premium, who would have to buy this whole system to gain more parking business? I'm not knocking the system, just wondering how much competition there is between parking garages in the UK.

I still think it's funny to sell it as a prevention method for stairwell urination

I caught this one on the radio yesterday I think. Apparently its rated as one of the most secure places in the world, along with the Whitehouse etc.

As you leave you enter the bay number where you parked into the system and that turns on the sensor under the car. Active sensor detects movement etc in car, and any alerts turn on the security cameras

No cars stolen since it was opened 4-5(?) years ago. Security cameras everywhere - all parking spaces are covered and there are alarm 'red noses' on all the support pillars - pressing one activates the cameras near it etc etc

Cost is an additional 20p (30c) per hour
