In the Heart of Copenhagen, Adaptive Recognition Delivers Smarter Parking

To match its cutting-edge architecture, Copenhagen’s Operaparken required an equally advanced and dependable parking access system. Adaptive Recognition’s Einar ANPR cameras delivered the automation, security, and reliability the facility needed—year-round.
Operaparken, the innovative underground parking facility near Copenhagen’s opera house, is more than just a place to leave your car—it’s a design statement. And with such bold architecture came equally high expectations: an access control system that delivered robust security and automation while ensuring a smooth, user-friendly parking experience from day one.
The Challenge: Matching Cutting-Edge Design with Intelligent Parking
Designed as part of Copenhagen’s drive to create a green, pedestrian-friendly harbor area, Operaparken is no ordinary car park. Tucked beneath a vibrant urban oasis with over 300 underground spaces, it called for a parking system that would operate reliably in the background—preserving both the park’s tranquility and the city’s smart, sustainable vision.
At the top of the priority list:
- A fully automated access control system for both entry and exit points
- A solution that offers accurate license plate recognition and fast vehicle throughput
- Minimal downtime and low maintenance requirements
- High operational reliability—not just daily, but year-round
- And ideally, a system that wouldn't struggle under less-than-ideal conditions like rain or cold
The Solution: Einar ANPR Cameras by Adaptive Recognition
Operaparken chose Adaptive Recognition’s Einar access control cameras to deliver accurate license plate recognition at entry and exit—meeting the project’s demands for automation, security, and efficiency.
The Qualities That Made Einar Stand Out:
- Bi-directional ANPR capability: One camera handles both entry and exit, reducing installation complexity and equipment costs.
- Powered by Carmen® ANPR Software: A field-proven engine trusted globally for its speed and accuracy in reading plates from over 160 countries.
- Low-maintenance by design: With no moving parts and passive cooling, Einar operates quietly and reliably, requiring minimal upkeep.
- Fast integration: With plug-and-play setup and industry-standard protocols, Einar easily connected with the parking system’s backend software.
- Scalable and future-proof: Suitable for long-term, hassle-free operation with update capabilities and remote management.
The Result: Smooth Parking Experience with Maximum Uptime
Since its installation, the Einar-based system at Operaparken has delivered reliable, low-maintenance access control. Drivers can enter and exit quickly without tickets or barriers, reducing congestion and improving the overall experience. For operators, the system offers consistent performance with minimal oversight—freeing up resources while maintaining security.
