Abstract
An interface to a parking application, such as a web portal, is provided over a secure network connection to tenants for managing parking validation services as well as related parking services and other integrated building services. An authenticated user may provide information for authorizing full, partial, or subsidized payment for a use of a parking facility, such as a use by a guest. The information may be provided by way of a personal computer, a mobile device, a special-purpose terminal, or the like. If the guest then presents a ticket at a separate attended or unattended exit terminal or point-of-sale device to complete the parking transaction, the transaction is processed in accordance with the provided information. According to other aspects of the invention, techniques for enabling configurable event notifications for events associated with validation services, and techniques for associating parking events with video and/or photographic image data are provided.
