Traffic monitoring systems must provide the best images under the most difficult conditions. Number plates of vehicles moving at very high speed on several lanes in heavy traffic must be recognized in detail. Even with changing light conditions, drivers have to be clearly identified on the basis of the recordings. Often, clear color pictures are required both at day and by night. It is important that the lenses used meet these high requirements of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

Lenses/Cameras Tailored for Traffic Monitoring

Kowa provides lenses with focal lengths, resolutions, and image sizes specifically suited to the ITS market. The lineup includes IR-corrected lenses for seamless day and night recording, reducing the focus shift that typically occurs when switching from visible light to IR illumination. For the challenging lighting conditions in ITS applications, Kowa offers lenses with advanced P-Iris technology. This technology enhances the interaction between the camera and lens, improving contrast, resolution, and depth of field in varying light environments. With their robust design, Kowa lenses are ideal for continuous use in traffic monitoring.
