TrafiCam with TI (9 wires)
1. Introduction
About TrafiCam
TrafiCam integrates both camera and detector in a compact, stylish housing and detects vehicles waiting at or
approaching an intersection. In addition, TrafiCam also has a vehicle counting function.
TrafiCam - based on field proven video detection technology - is part of the Traficon product range. Traficon is
worldwide recognised as the market leader in traffic video detection.
TrafiCam is easy to install and mount on existing or new infrastructure. Configuration is done via TrafiCam PC Tool. A
video image from the sensor allows accurate positioning of multiple presence detection zone s. TrafiCam provides an
input to the traffic light controller upon presence detection.
Use of the documentation
This user guide describes the installation and setup of a TrafiCam system with TI (9 wires) as the interface between
the TrafiCam sensor, PC and traffic controller.
In addition you can consult the Quick Reference Card.
The quick reference card contains basic information about TrafiCam PC Tool and the setup of the TrafiCam sensor.
The TrafiCam website (www.traficam.com) includes a Setup Tutorial movie, a list of Frequently Asked Questions
and other useful information to install and set up a TrafiCam system.
