Rugged CCTV
Tag-Git-R Speed Bump
Unlike conventional speed bumps, the new Tag-Git-R speed bump from Rugged CCTV has one or more cameras embedded inside and angled outward to record front and rear license plates. The system works during day or night, regardless if headlights and brake lights are on or off, at speeds of 20 miles per hour or more. Tag-Git-R is 4 feet wide and has cats-eye reflectors facing the driver to increase awareness, along with yellow lines molded into the surface to prevent wheels from getting up onto the low-profile bump. The system captures clear, concise images of license plates, vehicle make, type and even color.
Rugged CCTV has manufactured digital surveillance cameras and equipment since 1993, specializing in digital video recorders with real-time video and audio recording and monitoring. Info: 866.301.CCTV, www.rugged-cctv.com
