A useful parking webhook explains the event and handles corrections, duplicates and outages without confusing delivery with a completed action.
A usable webhook needs more than a sample message. Staff and developers need to understand the event, its identifier and timing, how the message is authenticated, and what happens when delivery fails or arrives twice.
Receiving an event is also different from completing a business action. The receiver needs a defined way to handle duplicates, delayed messages and corrections without turning one observation into several apparent visits.
Polling repeatedly asks another system whether something has changed. A webhook sends a notification when a defined event occurs. This makes the exchange more direct, but introduces delivery questions that a simple dashboard may conceal.
A notification might describe first detection, an update or departure from view. Those meanings need to remain distinct, especially when an earlier observation is corrected after another system has already received it.
Webhooks suit external workflows that need new observations without frequent queries. A scheduled export or supported polling interface may be sufficient for reporting that can wait. The downstream task should determine how quickly information needs to arrive.
Keep notification delivery separate from any decision about access or a case. The message should contain the context needed for its permitted purpose, rather than imply that a particular response has already been authorised.
Store the event identifier, capture time and receipt time separately. Authenticate messages through the agreed mechanism and acknowledge accepted delivery. Test an outage, retries and an update arriving before its original message; arrival order need not be capture order.
For example, incomplete plate text may later be corrected under the same event identifier. Treating both messages as new arrivals creates two apparent visits. Recovery should reconcile against supported event history, with failed deliveries visible to the people responsible for the connection.
COREconnect normalises supported camera and recognition events into Aero Ranger CORE with time, source and zone context. That makes it relevant to understanding what an incoming event represents and where its information originated.
Exact camera firmware, payload fields, delivery paths and recovery behaviour still need confirmation. The public description does not establish a universal outbound JSON webhook or a fixed notification delay.
