Jenoptik, a leading manufacturer of road safety and security solutions, has deployed speed enforcement systems and begun processing and issuing violations in Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA.

Prince George’s County partnered with Jenoptik to provide turnkey speed enforcement solutions that help deter speeding incidents and make our roads safer. Each system contains the reliable VECTOR SR camera with integrated ALPR together with a radar sensor to monitor speed limits. These camera systems are proven worldwide to accurately identify speed violators up to 186 mph. The system is powered by high-capacity lithium batteries and is equipped with solar panels, making them self-sufficient for months even without sun. The solution is one of Jenoptik’s many environmentally friendly solutions from its extensive product portfolio.
