D-Cop

D-Cop is a digital Speed and Red-Light enforcement system.
Two types of enforcement are supported: Speed and Red Light enforcement.

D-cop Elements
The D-cop comprises of a head unit installed on a pole approximately 3 meters high. No Base cabinet is needed.
The head unit houses a 14.1 Megapixel camera, a 4 Megapixel video camera for video clip recording, a computer, interface electronics, a primary evidence mass storage device, uninterruptible power supply, a lamp monitoring unit and a communications interface. Traffic violations are automatically detected by using two pairs of loops and/or 3 piezo strips per lane. In alternative a laser based vehicle detector can be installed. All the D-cop elements, inside the head-housing unit, are in a modular configuration with each unit fitted with its own cooling fan.
All interconnections from the street equipment are brought to a terminal which is located inside the pole. The Operator accesses the terminal through a small door mounted on the side of the pole at a height of 1.5 meters.
D-cop is made from a robust metal and the head unit has a hinged lockable back and two glass openings for the camera, the laser detectors and the flash. Fan assisted cooling is provided plus a temperature sensor to ensure that the unit does not operate outside its specified temperature range.

The Camera Module
The camera module mounts a unique 14,1 Megapixel Camera with a resolution of 4,608 x 3,072 pixels. Such camera sensor is big enough to monitor contemporarily 4 lanes of traffic. It is also possible to further increase the camera sensor up 24 Megapixel which would offer a resolution of 6,048 x 4,032 pixels.

Ancillary Video Camera
As option the D-cop may install an ancillary 4 Megapixel progressive video camera for recording a 15 seconds video clip anytime a violation occurred. The video clip is recorded in addition to the pictures captured by the Megapixel camera.
The video clip records a video footage of the road intersection 7.5 seconds before the violation to occur and 7.5 seconds after the violation have been detected.
The ancillary video camera incorporates a varifocal lens and a 1/3″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, which guarantees 24-hour day/night surveillance and is capable to record a crystal clear view of the vehicles thanks to the progressive technology.

Side Flash
The side flash, which is installed on an additional pole, is designed to provide up to two variable power white light flashes in quick succession. The power of the flash is variable to meet the wide range of lighting conditions likely to be encountered. The flash is power supplied at 12 volts and it’s capable to illuminate contemporarily 4 lanes lanes of traffic.

Local Mass Storage Device
The internal Hard Disk works as a mass storage device which stores up to 500 GB of data. Storage requirements are approximately 2 MB per violation, which means that the D-cop can hold over 250.000 violations.

Violation Detection
D-cop may use piezo stips, loops or unintrusive detectors such laser devices to capture the violations.

Data Transmission
Violations are transmitted to Copland, which is the D-cop Instation software, either on demand or automatically at any time desired.
Access to the D-cop can be achieved via Internet, wireless LAN, WAN or any other communication link, since the D-cop uses a standard TCP/IP protocol.

Data Protection
The purpose of data protection is that D-cop violations cannot be tampered by anyone. The D-cop uses the same encryption methods, used by all major financial institutions (128 bit encryption coding).
Encryption transforms the images into random data ensuring that the nature of the data in unrecognizable to unauthorized observes, rendering impossible to alter any part of the images.
