The products used in the Cairo city project include Control Center software, Violation Management Client, SensorTec NVR-VCA
Rack Mount, SensorTec ONE 20 MP WDR camera, SensorTec Full HD PTZ camera
motorists to the nearest free parking
spaces, among others. We are proud
of our contribution to this significant
project, which has ultimately allowed the
local authorities to focus more of their
time and resources on easing the flow
of traffic, reducing casualties, improving
drivers’ productivity and significantly
reducing pollution levels,” adds Mokrani. SensorTec ONE cameras are
synchronised through integrated
infrared flashes and monitor the car
lanes at intersections. The controllers of
intersection traffic lights are connected
to the network video recorders through
an I/O panel, which allows the states of
the traffic lights to be visualised on the
images as well.
Solution architecture The traffic violation detection is being
performed automatically by video
content analysis applications. Human
resources are only needed to confirm
violations in an extremely simple
dedicated software. They are being run
by the Network Video Recorder which
works on-site with real time images.
With this structure, the system can be
immensely bandwidth-effective. After
local image processing, only a small
amount of data should be transmitted
to the servers and to the clients.
For the Cairo Traffic Management
administration, a SensorTec Network
Video Recorder with video content
analysis module is being installed at
major intersections. Four 20 megapixel
SensorTec ONE cameras are connected
to each network video recorder,
monitoring one selected direction of
vehicles. Besides the traffic cameras, a
SensorTec Full HD pan-tilt-zoom camera
is installed as well.

The SensorTec Traffic Surveillance
System does not simply detect and
record the violations but manages them.
It automatically recognises the license
plates and collects vehicle data and
owner details. These are provided by
the integrated license plate recognition
software and the connected vehicle
database. The system creates a detailed
violation package and as an end result
an issuable violation report.
Owing to the high precision video content
analysis function, the SensorTec System
is able to accurately detect several types
of traffic violations automatically in the
intersections and counts the number of
passing vehicles. Associated third party
elements automatically provide exact
vehicle data of the offenders.
Authorised officers confirm the created
violation packages in a user-friendly
