All of us, at one time, or another has driven over or around speed bumps that span streets or driveways. If the speed bump tapers 2-3 ft. from a curb you will notice drivers moving their vehicles to the right to lesson the speed bumps impact on their vehicle. Also while driving; we try to miss objects in the center of the road by driving over them. This human nature aspect is the driving force in creating our 48” Speed Bump Plate Camera system. Drivers will automatically drive over (straddle) the speed bump, because of its size, to miss it, and at the same time align their vehicle in the camera’s view exposing their license plate to the camera concealed within the speed bump.

Therefore, speed bump alignment is the first and primary part of capturing license plate information. Since the Speed Bump Plate Camera system uses video cameras, a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) should be used in conjunction with the Speed Bump. We recommend you use our Realtime E DVR which has a recording rate of 30fps (frames per second), per channel, to capture license plate images.
