Speed camera that can check your seatbelt
Good morning, While East Africa is yet to have speed cameras installed on highways (I stand to be corrected, but I don’t remember any fixed cameras along any East African roads that I have used, just the speed guns that traffic police officers use depending on their mood) Finland is deploying a camera that can detect your speed, whether you have a seatbelt or not, insurance and tax status and can send photos and call the police on its own.

Ok..this is just my 1 cent but would an EMP be able to knock out the cameras internal circuitry and if one can model a multi blast or self charging EMP generator, perhaps from the rotation of the wheels or the fan belt to electrocharge it, one can then design such for street racers who would have these under the hoods of their beasts. Oh well that is just I drifting into my fantasy world..lol! psst..Alvo..what say you??we try??hehehehe... Have a great day! Warm regards, Amarjit Singh Labhuram.

Brilliant idea...BUT...what happens to the onboard ECU? :)
Ahaaaa..shit!!had forgotten about that...tsk..let me brain storm on that..i may find a solution.Any help from the rest of the team can be appreciated! Have a great day! Warm regards, Amarjit Singh Labhuram. On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 9:30 AM, Haggai Nyang <haggai.nyang@gmail.com> wrote:

I think a more practical solution would be to use an IR blinder..since most use CCD units just have something powerful on your dashboard :) On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 09:32, Amarjit Labhuram <amarjit.labhuram@gmail.com>wrote:

lol! :-) To protect the ECU, you could create a cavity that produces shielding. The cavity design , my friend, is beyond the scope of anyone except those who have research labs. At the same time, camera CCD and componets are shielded against such on all lower/higher frequencies. Try to put a camera in front an uplink vsat or near a radar site, nothing will happen. By the time you find a way to knock out the camera, it has a FINE PRINT of your mis-deeds relayed to controllers... Me thinks you will need some sort of an electronically guided arrow that will launch before you are within the camera site..... this is getting too funny :-)))) On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 9:32 AM, Amarjit Labhuram <amarjit.labhuram@gmail.com

@Aki...the CCD and IR relation is possible. Ever hooked up a camera to the TV (or webcam on your computer) looking at yourself and you pick up a remote and press a button while pointing at the camera? If what you see is just a tiny LED, what of a serious beam discharge? Virtual blindness!
Haggai, IR range too short and you need to create line of sight. On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 10:02 AM, Haggai Nyang <haggai.nyang@gmail.com>wrote:

Here is some info for all... http://standeyo.com/News_Files/NBC/EMP.protection.html <http://standeyo.com/News_Files/NBC/EMP.protection.html>From this i may gather that the ASSET project do have a Faraday box v. 9.1 or higher or a modern day alternative to protect the cameras. So we are somehow screwed, that is if we live in Europe..hehehe! So lets explore elsewhere from the EMP. Aki may be on to something! and for sure the t-shirt backup plan can do good for the safety belt protection! Have a great day!

You dont need EMP when you can physically vandalize the camera.
@Ashok, that would work. A catapult launched system from a moving vehicle.. or just walk to it and give it a good kick :-))))) On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 10:08 AM, <ashok+skunkworks@parliaments.info<ashok%2Bskunkworks@parliaments.info>

@Amarjeet, in your quest to defeat the speed camera. Microwave energy. You do this at your own risk, own camera, .. :-))))) You may want to see this : http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/silent_guardian/
what if it was possible to make the vehicle somehow invisble to the camera by having a kind of shield maybe static that the camera sees dots or something. Of course the person maning the camera will notice you but will not see you On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 10:35 AM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:

If I wear a t-shirt with a print of a diagonal black band - even a $70,000 camera will think its a seatbelt.

You are not going to order for that T-shirt and wear it everyday, are you?
if it can be beaten by a $2 t-shirt, you must wonder if its really worth the cost.
