What it detects and measures

Detection lines and zones are set up in the camera’s built-in web interface, with no additional software needed. Each camera reports live events and statistics for its field of view.

  1. Vehicle countingCounts separated by supported object class.
  2. Virtual-line crossing detectionFor lanes and facility boundaries.
  3. Stopped-vehicle detectionWithin configured zones.
  4. Zone presence and dwell-time alertsAlerts when an object remains in a zone beyond a set time.
  5. Wrong-way detectionAlerts on movement against the configured direction of travel.
  6. Traffic statisticsDirectional counts and calibrated speed measurements.
  7. Object classificationCars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Traffic intelligence without replacing your traffic infrastructure

Sidewinder builds intelligent monitoring into the camera itself, enhancing the traffic network you already have — no new platforms to deploy, no video sent to the cloud.

DESIGNED FOR
  • Live monitoring of stopped vehicles, wrong-way movement, and zone activity
  • Critical alerts to the traffic management center
  • Volume, classification, and speed trends over time
  • Facility boundaries and perimeter lines at infrastructure sites
