One automatic system for monitoring the presence of vehicles in a parking zone is an indispensable mean of an area such as services building, institutions, and other organizations, which accomodated many vehicles. A tracking record is the most important matter when the vehicle leaves the parking area. Manually, one parking officer will be needed to do the job. However, when using such an automated parking system, then this officers' job can be replaced. The vehicle license plate recording system is designed to use electronic-vision devices as a fundamental device for detecting the presence of vehicle. Vehicle license plates are detected using a digital camera which captured by the camera module on the Raspberry-Pi mini-pc microcontroller device, in addition to the detection of ultrasonic sensors that capture the position of vehicle objects. The process of reading vehicle numbers in an intelligent system of artificial neural networks to extracts each character of the license plate so that each number and letter can be recognized. Meanwhile, the detection of the ultrasonic parking sensor is a complementary confirmation indicating the presence of a vehicle object being monitored. The combination of solar power as the power supply for this automatic system is an important set-up that makes the system's electricity able to run independently. This monitoring system is prepared to help increase vehicle security automatically.
