General Vision Cameras
In the locations where a large amount and variety of administrative violations occur, capabilities of Smart Cameras cannot guarantee the maximum efficiency. In such areas, general vision cameras are used to detect violations. Relevant personnel scrutinizes and monitors general vision cameras for manually detecting violations.
