Video cameras are a useful thing, because in theory they reduce the rate of accidents on the road, and also increase the collection of fines for traffic violations. The latter is naturally not very pleasant to drivers, but at the same time it has a powerful preventive effect. In any case, in those situations when the equipment operators do not cheat and do not "tweak" the cameras. In any case, today we are interested in something else: how far "sees" the special equipment on the roads.
Every year there are more and more cameras on the roads of not only ours, but also any other country, with rare exceptions. Russia is among the leading countries in the number of video cameras, along with the United States and China. Despite all the prejudices of the population, it is difficult to deny that the so-called "digital concentration camp" also has positive aspects. After all, in the end, it is not technology that is bad (or good), but the hands in which it ends up. No matter how anyone thinks about the cameras, there is a benefit to society from their installation, including a preventive one.
Today, when cameras video recording traffic violations are almost on every pole, many drivers will ask: how far can they "see"? The shortest answer to this question: it all depends on the specific equipment model. The characteristics of cameras can vary greatly depending on their type and year of manufacture. The most modern cameras, and there are already such cameras in Russia, see very far away and it is no longer possible to hide from them. Here are some examples.
"Arrow": the most advanced and at the same time one of the most popular cameras on domestic roads. Made on the basis of military technology. The camera is used for "near fixing" on the narrow streets of the city. The target “grasping” range is only 50 meters, but more is not required for the camera. The device recognizes vehicles at speeds from 5 to 180 km / h. The error in fixing the speed with the camera is 2 km / h.
"Cordon": not very popular fixation camera, which is nevertheless found in several regions of the country. The error of the equipment is 2 km / h. The detection range of the violation is 150 meters.
"Arena": another extremely popular camera for fixing violations on domestic roads. Its main feature is that the camera is portable. Most often it is put by employees somewhere "in ambush". The equipment visibility range is 300 meters, while the moment of fixing the violation occurs not earlier than 130 meters. The equipment recognizes the vehicle at a speed of 20-250 km / h. The error in determining the speed is 2 km / h.

"Chris": a camera that is generally similar in its characteristics to the one described above. The violation detection range is 100 meters. Thus, when driving at a speed of 90 km / h, the speed will be measured 3-4 seconds before driving past the device. In other words, when driving even faster, you will not be able to slow down, even if you notice the camera at the last moment.

LISD-2F: a camera that has not yet gained widespread popularity, but is actively gaining it. It is especially widely used in the southern regions of Russia. The Krasnoyarsk Territory is already literally all covered with them. The main thing that you need to know about it is that the range of violation fixation occurs at a distance of up to 250 meters!
Of course, there are many more domestic and imported camera models that are used in the country. All you need to understand is that any radar detector with an average range of 50 meters is frankly useless against modern fixing equipment. Even against Strelka cameras, because in most cases, because of the narrow streets, it still won't have time to fire at the right moment.
