Traffic Enforcement Camera

The idea of getting in a fast vehicle, driving it in an unknown direction and enjoying the thrill of driving is part of the driving mystique. The technology has crept into highways and byways as well. As we are aware of the many Traffic Enforcement Camera on our roads, it is not a good idea to just jump in your car and drive off.

See Clearly: Unlocking A Traffic Enforcement Camera

Traffic enforcement cameras are known by many different names. Traffic camera is also known as a red light camera. These cameras are installed on or above a road or in law enforcement vehicles to detect speeding drivers and other traffic violations. Every day, people ignore red traffic lights, pass through toll booths with no payment, and use unauthorised bus lanes or commuter lanes. Traffic cameras are often linked to automated ticketing systems.

What’s the difference between the various types of  Traffic Enforcement Camera?

Non-enforcement cameras:

The most common cameras that you will see are traffic sensor cameras. They are usually installed on traffic signals, or mounted to light poles over roadways. They are usually small, cylindrical or dome-shaped. It’s obvious that these aren’t speed or red light cameras because of their placement. These are never installed in this way.

These cameras are used in a variety of ways, but their main purpose is to determine traffic flow. The video is not tied to any system of law enforcement, nor are they archived.

Cameras that combine AI with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), allowing them to read license plates, are called ANPR cameras. Like traffic sensor cameras they are not linked to any automated ticketing systems. These cameras are primarily used to track drivers.

ANPR cameras installed in police vehicles always record. The cameras can scan license plates and compare them with databases of the government. It will alert the officer, for example, if a person driving a vehicle is in possession of an outstanding warrant. ANPR cameras use the infrared spectrum of light, which allows for better low-light sensitivity.

Automatic enforcement cameras:

The top of the list is red light cameras or traffic enforcement cameras. These automated systems are usually placed at busy intersections. These systems are designed to detect if a driver enters a red-light intersection after it has already turned green. The system records multiple images and transmits them to the law enforcement agencies that issue tickets.

Red light cameras and speed cameras work in the same way. The cameras also detect traffic violations and automatically issue citations. However, they do so for speeding, not red light infractions.
