A precise and unambiguous traffic monitoring road video camera system includes a robust tightly enclosed housing equipped with a unique shutter, a CCD camera whose exact spatial position can be manipulated by fine probes, and a smooth, dome-like, capping that snag fits onto the housing of the camera. The entire system is embedded in a road opening, preferably at the center of each lane, at a small distance from the road sensors employed to determine adherence to various traffic laws. The road-embedded video camera system is in continuous communication with a central control and processing unit. When the processor determines that a vehicle was involved in a traffic violation it triggers the road video camera system to open its shutter and survey the immediate area outside. A suitable frame is then grabbed by the central processing unit for the purpose of preparing a traffic violation file. |
