Traffic Radar Device M5 Rad3
The M5 Rad3 is suitable for speed measurement and detecting vehicles that violate speed limits. The M5 Rad3 measures the speed of vehicles driving past and simultaneously measures the distance between the vehicles and the measuring device. The M5 Rad3 captures extremely precise data for vehicles exceeding the permitted speed.
The M5 RAD3 is easy to integrate with the M5 SPEED and similar devices.
Features
- Operates in all weather conditions
- Suitable for portable use or stationary installations
- The shorter design column is recommended if better capture of drivers is desired, as it decreases the vertical photo angle
- Works without pavement sensors in fixed installations
- Ready for use within approximately 5 minutes
- Measurement ranges as close as 3.5 m guarantee reading accuracy for enforcement
- Horizontal and vertical focuses of the radar beam are approximately 5°
- Exact assignment of the offence of the vehicle by distance measurement
- Image capture provides proof of speed violation
- A second camera may be added
- Possible application of two measuring systems in one vehicle
- The M5 RAD3 works with digital camera model ISC 4000 VDS only
