News
OmniPreSense Corporation released information that its OPS9243-A radar sensor is now able to provide vehicle speed data directly into the Verkada Command dashboard allowing Verkada users real-time speed information along with high-quality video for a full traffic monitoring platform.
To aid designers, OmniPreSense opened Application Note, AN-028, which delivers comprehensive instructions on constructing OPS9243-A speed messages for input into the Command dashboard including producing proper API keys, tokens, and IDs for incorporating into the messaging.
As reported in the press release, the OPS9243-A reports vehicle speeds through MQTT to a Node-RED dashboard where the messages are configured for Verkada Command using Helix Event capabilities. Node Red scripts are available on GitHub along with step-by-step videos on YouTube.
The environment offers real-time alerts for speeding events and able to decipher vehicles by speed, license plate (LPR), time of day, or vehicle type.
OPS9243-A Features
- 20° horizontal beam
- WiFi-enabled
- Powered via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
“The addition of radar speed data transforms the Verkada camera from a passive recorder into an active monitoring solution,” stated Rob Frizzell, CEO of OmniPreSense. “With the OPS9243-A, customers can now receive instant alerts for excessive speeding and more effectively analyze traffic patterns to improve safety and enforcement.”
