    Current video demonstrates principle of operation of new advanced "CORDON" multi-target photo radar system, which is designed for unattended photo capture of speeding violations and optionally, immediate transmission of the captured data for back office processing.

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fWzT9Istdc]Multi-Target Radar System CORDON - YouTube[/ame]


    The key feature of the "CORDON" is its ability to simultaneous monitor the speed of either oncoming or outgoing vehicles in up to four (4) lanes of contiguous traffic using one single speed sensor.

    The sensor automatically measures vehicle speeds, recognizes license plates in control area and creates a pair of images for each violation: wide-angle image of multiple targets in the traffic flow situation, with the violator(s) clearly identified and a close-up image of each violator with a clearly visible license plate.

    At the present time "CORDON" system is passing the certification procedure and is about to go into mass production. The first sensors are installed in St.-Petersburg, Russia and operating in testing mode.

    In Russia you don't own the radar, the radar owns you.

    BTW, Cordon means border.

    They have cameras on some police & sheriff's cruisers already. Not just dash cams, but cams to check plates of cars on the streets. They are mounted on the trunk lids. 1984 in 2011....

    Yep, Bexley has them. The first day they made two arrests for stolen vehicles within the first hour on the streets. Report in the paper said most robberies are made with stolen vehicles. I guess we'll never know what they were really planning that day.

    I wonder if they will light up the dashboard if they spot a missing front plate?

    My town has the plate cameras on a car. They booted a bunch of parking ticket scofflaws the first few weeks and I'm pretty sure that is exactly why the cops give tickets for missing plates at airports and such. You make them get out of the car and do something instead of drive past. Once out of the car, they might as well write a ticket.

    My state has very odd front plate laws. For a few years they only gave out one plate. All cars need two plates, unless you were only issued one, then one is OK.

    From a "law enforcement" point of view, this is a great thing. As long as it is "not abused", but you know it will be. :frown5:

    I can sense the LA City council drool and get hard at the same time just at the thought of this.

    won't be too long before something like this is on every street corner constantly watching our every move.

    I've heard laser pointers can wreck a camera's CCD... I wonder if an infrared laser could be set to actively paint an area.

    Which I'm sure will be looked at the same way as pointing a laser pointer at a plane.

    They're installing the cameras all over the place here in Hampton Roads, too.
