The D-Cam is a dual capability speed only or speed and red-light camera that can be connected to different sensor technologies, and be used at mobile or permanent sites. It digitally records two images for a red light violation but uses a single image for speed offences. The majority of the Durban sites will employ permanent laser sensors, mounted within the D-Cam’s roadside housing, and providing rear photography. The provision of a laser based, permanent site speed and speed/red light camera site is a world first for South African based Truvelo Manufacturers.
Truvelo claims its ‘D-Cam is unique in providing a secondary speed verification on a single image. Each speed offence is captured at a constant position on the road and recorded over verification markers. This allows the primary speed measurement to be easily checked and confirmed in the back office, and in court when required. The company says that a single speed image per offence reduces image storage requirements, speeds up data transmission and also speeds up the back-office case processing which is handled by MagnaFS. This ensures a fully integrated and end to end system for the detection and prosecution of speed and red-light offences.
Truvelo has also supplied Durban Metropolitan Police with five mobile laser speed cameras, the D-Ccam ML.
