StopSpot turns a spare phone into a parking stoplight for your garage. Mount it on the wall facing the bay. As you pull in, the front camera measures your licence plate and the whole screen goes green, yellow, then red, so you can see it from the driver’s seat.
How it works
StopSpot measures the four corners of your licence plate and works out how far the car is from the stop point you set. Everything runs on the phone.
On the front wall at about bumper height, screen and front camera facing the bay, on its charger. Landscape or portrait. Choose your plate size: long European, two-line, US and import sizes, Japan, Australia or China, and centimetres or inches.
Park exactly where you want to stop and tap Set stop here. Optionally enter the tape-measured distance for an exact reading. The app warns you if the phone is moved later.
Green counts the centimetres or inches down, yellow says slow, red says STOP, and a flashing red tells you to back up. An arrow shows which way to steer. The screen stays dim until a car arrives.
Screens
Every zone has its own colour, shape and word, so it works for colour-blind drivers too.
Be straight about it
StopSpot does not prevent collisions, and it cannot see what is behind or beside the car. Always check your surroundings.
It needs to see the plate. Mud, a bike rack or a missing front plate make it fall back to a coarser estimate: the screen shows a dashed ring and no distance figure.

Privacy & studio
The camera is used only to measure the plate’s position, on the phone. Your stop point and settings stay in the app’s storage. The policy has the details.
