Positioning your SafePace Guardian and Trailer
Positioning your SafePace Guardian and Trailer
SafePace Guardian needs to be located at the side of the road being monitored with the camera, (optional)
illuminator and sign pointed towards oncoming traffic. This allows the camera to capture the front license
plate of the passing vehicles while drivers are alerted of their speeds.

Though you can position SafePace Guardian on either side of the street, it's best if located on the side
nearest the traffic lanes that will be monitored.

:
Be aware that depending on the direction in which the camera is pointed there may be a period
of time (most likely early morning or late afternoon) where the camera may be blinded by sunlight or
the license plate images may tend to be overexposed..
Selecting a Location for your Trailer
The site you select for the trailer may vary with the application for which it is being used. However, you
should generally adhere to the following guidelines:
»
Choose a location where the line of sight from the trailer to the roadway being monitored will be
uninterrupted.
»
Park the trailer directly adjacent to the lanes being targeted.
»
In the case of highways you may want to consider a location on the median.
