What You're Missing Today
Without CARWATCH
- You see daily revenue in your cash register. You don't know how many vehicles actually visited.
- A customer paid. You have no idea if they've been here before or how often they come.
- You schedule staff based on last year or gut feeling. Not based on what's actually predicted for tomorrow.
- Something goes wrong at your site. You find out from the customer complaint, not from a real-time alert.
- Your marketing runs a campaign. You have no way to measure if it actually drove more traffic.
With CARWATCH
- Every vehicle is recognized automatically. You know exactly how many visited, when, and how often.
- Returning customers are identified automatically. You can see who they are without loyalty cards.
- A 7-day traffic forecast with hourly granularity tells you exactly when to schedule staff.
- Webhooks notify your systems the moment a defined event happens. Automatically, in real time.
- Compare traffic data before and after any campaign, promotion, or price change with daily precision.
Not Just Cameras. Autonomous AI Agents
CARWATCH goes beyond passive video analysis. Our agentic AI system detects, tracks, and classifies every object in real time, then takes action autonomously.
Vehicles and people* are continuously tracked across every frame. Each object interacts with virtual lines, zones, and areas you define. When a trigger fires, CARWATCH sends webhooks instantly to any connected system. POS, conveyor control, barriers, or your custom application.
* Person detection is optional, subject to different terms, and not available in every country.
Traditional Systems
- Triggered by motion sensor or loop detector
- Captures a single image per event
- Extracts license plate as text string
- Error-prone, no context, no tracking
- Cannot react to events autonomously
CARWATCH
- Continuously analyzes the full video stream
- Tracks every vehicle across every frame
- Continuously refines plate reading, fault-tolerant
- Full context: vehicle type, brand, model, color, year
- Reacts autonomously via webhooks and relay signals
Four Steps to Full Automation
From camera installation to a fully autonomous system, in days, not months.
Add Cameras
Connect any RTSP IP camera to the system.
Define Interaction Points
Create virtual lines, zones, and areas in the live camera view.
Configure Events & Webhooks
Define what happens when a vehicle interacts, e.g., 'vehicle crosses token line → send plate to POS system.'
System Works Autonomously
The AI runs 24/7, reacting to every event in real time. No manual intervention needed.
License Plate Recognition
Read every plate at entry, exit, and custom zones. Works fully offline on the edge device, no internet required. Handles all weather and lighting with dedicated Hikvision LowLight cameras.
- Works offline on edge
- All weather conditions

12 Ways CARWATCH Automates Your Car Wash
CARWATCH sends webhooks based on fully customizable conditions, tailored to your exact operational needs. Here's what becomes possible.
Wash Process Automation
Pre-Wash Arch Activation
Vehicle approaching → webhook activates pre-wash spray. Timing based on real-time vehicle position tracking.
Automatic Program Selection
Vehicle type and size detected → system selects the appropriate wash program (compact, SUV, van) via webhook to conveyor control.
Drying Blower Adjustment
Vehicle height detected in real time → blower height adjusts automatically via webhook. Optimal drying for every vehicle.
Automatic Gate & Barrier Control
Valid plate or active subscription detected → barrier opens automatically. No staff interaction needed.
Customer & Revenue Operations
Loyalty & CRM Integration
Returning customer detected → webhook sends plate and visit history to your CRM. Trigger loyalty rewards, personalized offers, or VIP notifications automatically.
Revenue Attribution
Correlate every wash transaction with a specific vehicle via webhook. Track revenue per customer, per program, and per time window, fully automated.
Dynamic Pricing
Queue length or weather conditions change → webhook updates pricing on your POS or digital signage. Adjust wash prices in real time based on demand.
Cross-Sell & Upsell
Vehicle identified as SUV or premium brand → webhook triggers targeted upsell on your terminal display. Offer premium programs to high-value customers automatically.
Operational Insights
Queue Management
Vehicle count in queue area exceeds threshold → webhook alerts staff or updates digital signage. Real-time queue data for smarter operational decisions.
Employee Performance
Track throughput per shift via automated vehicle counting. Webhooks log every wash cycle start and end for objective performance benchmarking.
Maintenance Scheduling
Vehicle count since last maintenance crosses threshold → webhook triggers maintenance alert. Schedule service based on actual throughput, not calendar intervals.
Pre-Wash Documentation
AI captures and stores images of every vehicle before entering the wash. Timestamped visual evidence available instantly in case of damage claims.
Integrates With Any System
CARWATCH connects to your existing infrastructure via webhooks and REST API. If your system can receive an HTTP call, CARWATCH can talk to it.
POS & Cash Registers
Direct integration with RSE cash systems for pay-by-plate. Webhooks to any POS for transaction correlation.
Conveyor & Plant Control
Relay signals and webhooks to conveyor control systems. Compatible with WashTec, Bock/Holz, and Christ installations.
Digital Signage & Displays
Send real-time queue lengths, wait times, or pricing to LED boards and digital signs via webhook.
Barriers & Gate Systems
Automatic barrier control based on plate recognition, subscriptions, or custom rules.
Mobile & Customer Apps
REST API for building customer-facing wash booking, payment, and loyalty apps.
ERP & Business Systems
