The invention discloses a method and a system for monitoring usage of a parking space through cameras. The method includes the steps of using a parking line camera to monitor whether a preset parking line is blocked; if not, determining that the parking space is available; if yes, going to the next step; using a license plate camera to recognize an automobile license plate; if recognition is successful, determining that the parking space is under use; recording the license plate in the system; if recognition fails, sending out an alarm to remind an operator on duty of check outing the condition of the parking space. The method and the system have the advantages that the technique combining the parking line and license plate recognition ensures high recognition rate, equipment installation is convenient, the limitation of installation at the automobile head or tail position is avoided, imaging is rarely susceptible to appearance factors such as light, modeling is simple, the cost is low, and the performance is reliable.
