RECOMMENDED CAMERA: 
Any modern IP, Wireless or USB camera works with SPEEDCAM. We recommend HD resolution or better (1920x1080 pixels). We recommend 30 fps (frames per second) or better. An electronic shutters is great if the camera shall capture license plates. It prevents image smearing for fast vehicles, similar to a DSLR shutter.

    • If there is no movement in the sensors zone, their signals (colored lines) should be below the activation level (white line);
