Generally spherical, it is mainly used to monitor road safety. Strictly speaking, it is not a traffic control camera, and it has no function of capturing traffic violations.

Illegal camera

This kind of camera is generally installed on the white traffic pole near the intersection, and it is also a white rectangular camera. A distinctive feature is that a rectangular LED fill light comes standard next to the camera. The fill light is usually off during the day and emits high-frequency light at night.

Types and functions of cameras on both sides of the road;

1, 360-degree rotating camera, this kind of camera is the most common, almost every intersection has such a guy. It looks small, but it is very powerful. Ordinary violations can be clearly detected, and people in the car, including not wearing seat belts and smoking, can be photographed.

2. Electronic police are also very common. This kind of camera has a memory card, which is taken once every three days, and the violation record is clear. Although there are different ways to rotate, there will be a set of cameras that can be seen from any angle.

3. Flash and camera. This combination is also very common, mainly illegal behaviors such as rushing through red lights and pressing lines, but it is limited to the front and cannot be reversed. These are all manipulated by the computer itself, so the capture is more accurate.

4. Test the camera. This kind of camera is common at high speed, and the traffic police will hold it to see if there is a car speeding. This kind of camera is hidden when it appears at high speed, and the speed is relatively fast, so it is difficult to find this kind of camera, and most people have stumbled here. But now navigation can generally monitor these cameras.

5, bayonet camera. It also appears on highways to test speeding. If you don't pay attention to speeding, he will capture your information in an instant, and then the penalty message will be delivered.
