Abu Dhabi Police Department, having added the 770 horsepower Lykan Hypersport to its stable of cars, has now equipped it with the ekin Patrol surveillance system.

Claimed to be the fastest car in the world, the Lykan Hypersport appeared in the film Fast and Furious; ekin Patrol, which operates whether the vehicle is stopped or moving, makes it smart as well as fast.

The compact ekin Patrol system monitors the speed of vehicles within its angle of view, recording licence plate details, speed, coordinates, high resolution images and video of violating vehicles. Different speed limits can be set for each lane of the road.

In addition to automatic number plate recognition for white and black list identification, the system also detects and analyses human faces within its angle of view.

Vehicles equipped with ekin Patrol are able to communicate with each other and captured live images can be monitored via a single control centre. The system allows tracking via map, with optional features such as face recognition and air pollution sensors.
