Case Study: Placer County achieves real-time parking visibility and improved visitor experience with Sensera Systems

Placer County Municipalities Serving Their Community with Live Public Webcam

Placer County faced crowding and full parking lots at Hidden Falls Regional Park but had no power or internet at the remote lot and a limited IT budget to add live imaging for visitors. To address this need the county evaluated solutions and selected Sensera Systems’ MC78 solar/wireless public webcam (deployed via their systems integrator) so visitors could check conditions before traveling to the park.

Sensera Systems provided a turnkey MC78 solution — solar power with LiFePO4 batteries (up to five days runtime), cellular connectivity, cloud-hosted servers, and a built‑in public web page — that installed quickly and integrated into Placer County’s website. The live camera gives real-time parking and site status to the public, improving visitor experience and helping mitigate overcrowding while avoiding costly custom engineering.
