This project proposes a smart solution or protocol that is generic to overcome vehicle theft issues, which can be implemented at any parking areas especially that are located outdoors. This proposed solution is known as Image-based Parking Security System. The problem of
vehicle theft can occur at any location, but this project specifically focuses on vehicles that are parked in outdoor parking spaces. Vehicle theft in such location occurs as a result of a manually operated monitoring system, which requires someone to guard the entrance and exit gates. It also can occur due to no security protocol for vehicle theft being implemented at all. The smart
solution this project proposes is considered smart because it solely depends on a machine to do the monitoring management at the entrance and exit gates of a parking place. This proposed system will utilize deep learning technology. This technology is chosen to create a system that could detect and recognise the license plate of the vehicle
