Why Camera Design Matters in Open Road Tolling (ORT) and Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF)

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
Open Road Tolling and Multi-Lane Free Flow systems must record each vehicle without interrupting traffic. The camera has a brief capture window to produce a plate image that OCR can read, and the tolling system can connect to the correct transaction. See how camera design supports multi-lane capture at highway...

ALPR Systems Are Being Hacked – Here’s What the Industry Isn’t Talking About

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
Ever heard how fact is stranger than fiction? It’s scarier too! A security researcher recently used publicly available network scanning tools to find over 170 live ALPR cameras in major US cities (including Nashville and Chicago). The person used open remote access ports and factory-default passwords that had never been......

How GMSL Health Monitoring and Error Recovery in e-con Systems’ STURDeCAM Series Enhances Autonomous Mobility

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
GMSL technology is a high-speed and power-efficient video link commonly used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), smart traffic, and robotic applications. It operates by employing serializers to convert data into a serial stream on the transmitter side and deserializers to convert it back into a parallel word for processing......

Why Air-Gapped Systems are Critical for Secure Surveillance in Infrastructure Applications

Ram Prasad
by Ram Prasad
When a data center, water treatment plant, power grid, or oil refinery is the target, security failure is measured in consequences. Unauthorized intrusion into the surveillance network can threaten safety systems. Air-gapped surveillance involves using physically and electronically separate camera systems and their networks from external connections, helping eliminate remote......

Understanding PPF, PPM, and Pixel Density in ALPR Deployments

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
ALPR accuracy depends on how many pixels reach the license plate, rather than camera resolution alone. PPF and PPM reveal the usable pixel density at the target distance and determine lens choice, field of view, mounting, capture range, shutter type, lighting, and lane coverage. In this blog, you'll learn how...

The Best Camera Types for Post-Accident Investigation: A Complete Guide

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
Post-accident investigation depends on how well visual evidence fills the gaps left by damaged vehicles, fading physical traces, and conflicting accounts. A single camera view can only explain part of the event, which is why crash reconstruction often needs footage from the road, cabin, vehicle perimeter, and fixed traffic infrastructure....

How e-con Systems empowers Autonomous Robots with ROS 2 Perception-Driven Object Tracking

Arun Asokan
by Arun Asokan
Autonomous robots need more than basic movement. They must interpret commands, find objects in changing environments, estimate distance, navigate toward the target, align visually, and capture usable images on the device. e-con Systems’ ROS 2-based object tracking demo at CES 2025 brought together YOLO World detection, LiDAR-camera fusion, Nav2 navigation,...

What Makes Rugged USB Cameras So Important in Delivery Robots: From Navigation to Cargo Monitoring

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
Delivery robots rely on camera feeds for navigation, cargo visibility, obstacle awareness, and remote supervision. But real-world deployments involve placing those cameras in rain, dust, glare, low light, tight compartments, and collision-prone points. Rugged USB cameras address these demands through durable enclosures, driver-free USB integration, and more. So it is...
