Speed Cameras and Hazards
This section describes the type of cameras and road hazards covered by ROAD ANGEL
Navigator 9000:
Gatso
The most common type of speed camera – used in fixed
positions mounted on poles at the roadside. Measures
vehicle speed using radar and, if the speed limit has been
exceeded, photographs the rear of the vehicle. Uses a
flash unit inside the camera cabinet or mounted on a
gantry to illuminate the offending vehicle's rear number
plate. ROAD ANGEL Navigator 9000 relies on up-to-date
database information for detection.
SPECS
Takes a digital photograph of your vehicle at the ‘start’
point and then another a set distance further down the
road. If your average speed is greater than the speed limit
between these two cameras you are automatically
prosecuted. ROAD ANGEL Navigator 9000 relies on up-
to-date database information for detection.
Watchman
Measures vehicle speed and, if the speed limit has been
exceeded, takes a photograph of the rear of the vehicle.
Can be accessed remotely allowing operators to
download live video, stored images or data. ROAD
