SpeedNabber™ The Low Cost Photo Based Speed Enforcement System

SpeedNabber™ was designed to provide a photo enforcement tool for detecting the speed of vehicles and capturing multiple images of vehicles which exceed a user defined speed threshold. It provides 24 hour speed enforcement for use in Home Owner Associations, School Zones, Work Zones, Municipal and Rural highways, Parking Lots and any other locations where there is a need to calm traffic.

Recently a homeowners association in San Diego County purchased a single unit for a trial. The demonstration unit succeeded in reducing speeds and the fines that were levied paid for the unit in 90 days. Based on that experience they are in the process of purchasing additional units. For that HOA it was a win-win situation.

The tool is evidence driven and is a most effective tool in reducing speeds and increasing safety. The radar measures the speed of each passing vehicle. When a vehicle exceeds a user configurable maximum speed, the digital camera captures a series of images of the vehicle and its license plate. SpeedNabber™ provides undeniable proof of speed violations.

The SpeedNabber™ consists of a Doppler radar, a camera, an invisible LED flash unit, a processor and a wireless access point. Each SpeedNabber™ unit comes pre-installed with software for setting speed thresholds and managing data. Photos of speed violators vehicles can be remotely accessed from any web browser.

SpeedNabber™ can be delivered stand alone or trailer mounted and van mounted configurations. The system can be delivered with a battery system for operations in a area where power is not available. It can also be equipped with solar power and/or generator power as well. The trailer and van options can be equipped with a mast and wireless antenna for remoting to enforcement vehicles located downstream from the violation point.

Enforcement methods may range from warning letters to citations. The violations and the association images can be downloaded via the built in wireless interface. In locations where netoworks already exist, the violations and images can be uploaded to a central location for processing. Furthermore TDS will provide violation processing and data management services if desired. Automatic license plate number reading is also available for implementation if the system needs to compare license numbers with an existing database for detection of vehicles of interest.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price for the basic system is $12,995. Installation and Training are extra.
