Cellular CurbSight cameras mount on existing streetlight poles and process video at the edge, with faces blurred and only relevant plates captured. The CurbSuite and CurbPass software handle automated per-minute payment and invoicing for commercial vehicles without apps or meters, real-time violation capture with optional automatic citations, and curb and traffic analytics by vehicle type. Customers named include Pittsburgh, Philadelphia Parking Authority, Houston, New York City DOT and several airports.

• CurbSight cameras: 5G edge-processing cameras mounted on streetlight poles and signals.
• Automated payment: Per-minute billing and invoicing for commercial vehicles with no app or meter.
• Real-time enforcement: Captures violations with optional alerts or automatic citations.
• Curb analytics: Reports curb and traffic activity broken down by vehicle type.
• Smart loading zones: Manages delivery zones and zero-emission delivery zones, plus airport pickup areas.
• Privacy controls: Blurs faces, de-identifies data and captures only relevant plates.

Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City districts could pilot paid delivery zones near markets and malls to cut double parking. Airports such as Tan Son Nhat could automate taxi and ride-hail curb access. Logistics hubs could measure dwell time of delivery vehicles.

Cities can monetize and regulate loading zones without installing meters. The site reports a 16% reduction in congestion and emissions, a 94% reduction in double-parking hazards and a 53% increase in parking turnover in deployments. Cameras reuse existing poles, and privacy-by-design processing helps with data protection. SOC 2 certification is stated.

Kerb space is contested by deliveries, ride-hailing, buses and bikes, and cities are shifting from meters to camera-based, data-driven curb pricing and enforcement. Airports are also automating pickup and drop-off areas. Dense Vietnamese and Southeast Asian cities with heavy delivery traffic face similar roadside congestion.

Growth capital round announced in December 2025 with Santa Barbara Venture Partners, Weatherford Capital, BarronKent Ventures, Techstars Ventures and kineo. SOC 2 certified. Country is based on press release datelines (Los Angeles, CA) and the company's U.S. Inc. name.
