Project Introduction
Location: Abu Dhabi
Project Name: abu Dhabi Police Cars into Smart Patrol Vehicles
Products Deployed: IGPS-1080-24V
Project Requirement
- Resistance to high temperatures
- Compact installation footprint
- High-speed data transmission
Ahead of Dubai’s Expo 2020, Abu Dhabi Police developed smart patrol vehicles to support anticipated visitor volumes and improve traffic enforcement. Roof-mounted smart bars combined cameras and facial recognition with central-server communications to check watch lists. The project needed fast, compact networking equipment capable of operating in confined vehicle spaces and intense heat.
Solution
ORing’s IGPS-1080-24V connected IP cameras, vehicle PCs, and panel PCs through eight Gigabit ports. PoE powered the camera through its Ethernet cable, reducing cabling and installation costs. Its compact housing fitted alongside other onboard electronics, while a −40°C to +75°C operating range accommodated Abu Dhabi’s heat.
The onboard network supported systems that sent license plate numbers, facial recognition data, and video to the control center for real-time matching and alerts. These capabilities helped officers identify wanted vehicles, speeding, and mobile phone use while driving. The integrated system also supported SMS violation notifications, enabling more timely enforcement.
