Stop Arm Camera 2: Upgrading from the Dual-Lens Camera

The Triple-Lens Camera is the newest model in Pro-Vision's Stop Arm Camera technology. It supports school transportation safety by automatically recognizing, capturing, and storing evidence of vehicles passing a bus that has enabled its stop arm.

Some of the key improvements included in the Stop Arm Camera 2: 

1. Memory is recorded locally and securely transferred to the DVR through an Ethernet connection. 
2. Infrared lights allow the camera to perform in low-light conditions. 
3. Captured images are higher resolution with a narrower focus, reducing motion blur.
4. Passing vehicles are captured in 3-views (front plate and rear plate images and a wide angle video). 
5. Each event creates a file with details such as time and exact location of the event.  

To learn more about the camera, see Stop Arm Camera 2: Overview.
