A system for real-time monitoring of parking violations and for providing user interfaces for creating parking zones and parking policies associated therewith, the system comprising: one or more processors of a machine; a data store storing a plurality of parking zone data objects; a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: displaying a parking zone creation user interface on a client device communicatively coupled to the machine, the parking zone creation user interface including data input elements for receiving information describing a parking zone including at least one parking space; receiving, via the parking zone creation user interface, location data describing a location of the parking zone; translating, via a coordinate translation module, pixel coordinates in the location data into global coordinates defining a geospatial area on a geospatial map; creating a new parking zone data object corresponding to the geospatial area identified on the geospatial map, the new parking zone data object including the location data; receiving, via the parking zone creation user interface, a parking policy defining one or more parking rules associated with the newly created parking zone data object; modifying the newly created parking zone data object to include the parking policy; and storing the newly created parking zone data object to the data store; the operations further comprising: receiving one or more camera identifiers entered via the parking zone creation user interface, each camera identifier uniquely identifying a camera that records images depicting at least a portion of the parking zone; and associating the camera identifier with the newly created parking zone data object; wherein the location data includes a set of pixel coordinates for each parking space that define a location of each parking space in images recorded by nearby cameras. one or more processors of a machine; a data store storing a plurality of parking zone data objects; a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: displaying a parking zone creation user interface on a client device communicatively coupled to the machine, the parking zone creation user interface including data input elements for receiving information describing a parking zone including at least one parking space; receiving, via the parking zone creation user interface, location data describing a location of the parking zone; translating, via a coordinate translation module, pixel coordinates in the location data into global coordinates defining a geospatial area on a geospatial map; creating a new parking zone data object corresponding to the geospatial area identified on the geospatial map, the new parking zone data object including the location data; receiving, via the parking zone creation user interface, a parking policy defining one or more parking rules associated with the newly created parking zone data object; modifying the newly created parking zone data object to include the parking policy; and storing the newly created parking zone data object to the data store; displaying a parking zone creation user interface on a client device communicatively coupled to the machine, the parking zone creation user interface including data input elements for receiving information describing a parking zone including at least one parking space; receiving, via the parking zone creation user interface, location data describing a location of the parking zone; translating, via a coordinate translation module, pixel coordinates in the location data into global coordinates defining a geospatial area on a geospatial map; creating a new parking zone data object corresponding to the geospatial area identified on the geospatial map, the new parking zone data object including the location data; receiving, via the parking zone creation user interface, a parking policy defining one or more parking rules associated with the newly created parking zone data object; modifying the newly created parking zone data object to include the parking policy; and storing the newly created parking zone data object to the data store; the operations further comprising: receiving one or more camera identifiers entered via the parking zone creation user interface, each camera identifier uniquely identifying a camera that records images depicting at least a portion of the parking zone; and associating the camera identifier with the newly created parking zone data object; receiving one or more camera identifiers entered via the parking zone creation user interface, each camera identifier uniquely identifying a camera that records images depicting at least a portion of the parking zone; and associating the camera identifier with the newly created parking zone data object;
