Phylax documentation

Phylax helps private parking operators carry a case from camera evidence through registered-owner lookup, correspondence, payment matching, and operator review. It runs on operator-controlled infrastructure and is configured around each site's cameras, rules, and external services.

See the Phylax product page for the commercial model.

System overview

The complete path from camera evidence to a resolved case. Camera processing uses automatic number-plate recognition (ALPR) to turn images into structured observations. Cases then move through registered-owner lookup, correspondence, payment matching through galanthus, and operator review when an exception cannot be resolved automatically.

Deployment model

How Phylax runs on operator-controlled infrastructure and connects to site cameras, the operator's registered-owner enquiry channel, correspondence services, and banking connections.

Cameras and number-plate recognition

Camera profiles, capture formats, recognition inputs, and the evidence boundary between a camera system and the Phylax workflow.

Letter pipeline

How owner information, notice templates, dispatch records, and payment references remain attached to the same case.

Registered-owner enquiry flow

How approved registered-owner enquiries move through the operator's channel and where returned data is retained. In German deployments, this includes the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) enquiry channel.

Operator prerequisites

The site, camera, network, legal, external-service, and commercial inputs needed to scope a deployment.

Data-processing posture

Where personal data is processed, who controls it, and when the Phylax Data Processing Agreement sample applies. Routine case processing stays on operator-controlled infrastructure.

Engineering note

One Decode Path, Multiple Consumers explains why camera preview, recognition, recording, and plugins should share one decoded video stream rather than operate separate decoders.

Evaluation path

Phylax evaluations are scoped per operator site through procurement. The deployment is configured around the site rather than offered as a generic self-service trial. Evaluation requests use the subject line [Product evaluation] Phylax.

Source access

Phylax is commercially licensed software. Source access, where required for a deployment, is negotiated through procurement.
