INTRODUCTION
S1 is a mobile no-staff speed and traffic enforcement camera with on-board ANPR. It is capable
of spotting a violator from 1200 meters (4000 feet) away and returning certified speed
measurement result from 600 meters (2000 feet) away. The unique high-precision built-in laser
technology reaches as far as no other speed monitoring camera on the market.
The S1 speed camera is extremely portable: setup takes less than two minutes. Afterwards, no
human interaction is required: the camera measures speed and uploads every passing vehicle’s
data – or, depending on user-defined settings, just the violators – via a secured and encrypted
channel. The uploaded results include license plate data, the vehicle’s speed, exact location (via
GPS) and time stamp as well as other selectable parameters. The result files are encrypted and
cannot be altered.
This guide is going to show you the functions of the app and the methods of the use.
Structure of the Manual is the following:
•First, accessing to the camera and the operation of the device will be discussed.
•Next, a closer look will be taken at the menu overview.
•Moreover, the user will be guided through the sections of the features.
•Finally, usage of the tripod will be shown.
