561 Traffic Technology’s new SpeedWatch system is a lightweight, radar device specially developed for use by Community Speed Watch teams, providing a low-key and non-confrontational way in which to measure traffic speeds.

Quick and simple to set up and operate, SpeedWatch wirelessly transmits vehicle speeds to the supplied Wi-Fi enabled handheld tablet or a smartphone, allowing users to stand clear of traffic and manually record speeds and vehicle registration numbers.

The tripod-mounted device has a radar range of 100m, providing ample time for users to record speeds and vehicle details. Vehicle speeds are displayed on-screen, accompanied by green/amber/red coloured bands that indicate the target vehicle’s speed in relation to national police guidelines.

The system is said to be ideal for traffic speed surveys; the ability to use the tablet to monitor speeds from up to 5m away ensures safety for users and enables monitoring to take place at sites which would be deemed unsafe or unreliable with a radar gun.
