The traffic control industry is an ever-growing market with new infrastructures being built worldwide, with, for example, the trans-European road network expected to grow by 4,800km per annum until 2020. This translates into a steady annual rise in passenger and freight traffic, resulting in an increasing need for more efficient and automated traffic enforcement solutions to make road safer for all users particularly in dense metropolitan areas.

Board Cameras
Board cameras, a.k.a. PCB cameras, are video cameras with image sensors mounted directly onto circuit boards. These devices are favored for their flexibility and comprehensiveness with a small footprint. These cameras are prominent in mobile devices and CCTV security systems.
High Speed Cameras
High speed cameras are video cameras manufactured with an emphasis on extreme frame rates. This allows for the slow-motion analysis of fleeting details and motion that would not be observable with a standard video camera. These cameras find their most meaningful use in scientific and industrial settings.
CCD Cameras
CCD (couple-charged device) cameras are a type of image capture device that utilize an image sensor to register visible light as a recordable electronic signal to visually archive captured stills and video. Of the three types of digital cameras (the others being CMOS and CID), CCD cameras are the most developed and commonly used.
CMOS Cameras
Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras use image sensors that operate at lower voltages than charged coupled devices (CCDs), reducing power consumption for portable applications. Each CMOS active pixel sensor cell has its own buffer amplifier, and can be addressed and read individually. 
Video Cameras
Video cameras record live-action scenes that are available for viewing via a stored or transmitted video feed. This allows the user to create a permanent and detailed chronicle of events. Video cameras record dozens of pictures (or frames) a second that when viewed in succession, clearly distinguish the translation of an object or person over time.
