Munro999 0 Posted November 24, 2022 Hi We a community group in a rural location with houses along the length of a single track road running for circa 1.5miles. Multiple road works in the area have caused a huge increase in traffic along our road and we want to get a better understanding of the traffic flows (and maybe speeds). We don't have the funds to bring in a survey company or local authority funding so want to find a DIY solution. We guess a camera or two is needed that can provide us with video (day and night) which we can analyse. We're in a wet and windy location and want to be able to have sufficient video quality to enable us to identify number plates. Power and wifi is readily available. Any pointers gratefully received.

Then with being in the uk makes it a little difficult (i am uk as well) As you will be collecting information (number plates… speeders) a licence or temp licence is needed for public space….. it falls under GDPR this does not cost anything but someone has to be responsible for the data collected and how it’s used also signs need to be installed at each end of the 1.5 mile road as there public space cameras but there are also ways around this will the cameras be on private land does every home give consent we’re in the uk are you located and what is your budget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Munro999 0 Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks for your message. We're not looking to hold number plate information. We just want to be able to see it on the video so we can include or exclude the vehicle from our count of authorised and unauthorised vehicles. The cameras will be on private land. Our initial thought was to buy 1 Arlo Go 2 camera to give us the flexibility to position it anywhere within WiFI or 4G coverage. If we could get satisfactory images of vehicles then we'd buy another which would enable us to monitor/analyse entry and exit and possibly enable us to do some sample speed analysis. We've no idea whether they would work in the way required for us to do the surveys we need. At this stage it's about getting information on use, volumes etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi once on video it is classed as public even if it is to sort out cars that should be in the area once you have the information you need … talking to your council will be a big mistake as the first thing they will ask you for is your ppl licence as far as using smart cameras (Arlo) these are not fit for purpose in unlicensed areas as a 3rd party is needed to use them …. Don’t get Arlo and cctv mixed up but there are ways around this but what part of uk are you at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
