Russia-based 4378 Olvia has developed a range of enforcement equipment including the Merlin fixed speed camera and the portable Skat system. These uses Doppler radar and infrared flash to detect and capture speeding vehicles and wrong way driving and bus lane violations.

The Merlin system uses real-time video analysis to detect violations across four traffic lanes of traffic, providing vehicle classification and automatic number plate recognition while the portable Skat system can be either tripod or pole mounted and can detect violations across two lanes of traffic.
