It should work for at least 5 years with normal use, but product lifespan is highly dependent on use and care. Our field equipment utilizes lithium-ion batteries, like cell phones, that start to degrade in two to three years.

The video footage is clear enough for a human being to tabulate vehicles based on headlights during the middle of the night. Tabulating pedestrians, bicycles, or vehicle classification is dependent on ambient lighting conditions. It is possible to accurately tabulate full classification in well lit urban conditions or during a full moon, but generally not possible in suburban or rural settings with low ambient light.

The ideal field of view is between 50 and 150 feet from the intersection though the countCAM4 can provide countable data up to roughly 250 feet from the data collection location.

No. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision have been around for decades, but we know of no system that can accurately tabulate vehicles from portable camera systems. The issue is that mobile cameras are not mounted high enough, wobble in the wind, and do not provide enough visibility at night. Human beings are needed to provide accurate data. We have tested AI systems that work in perfect conditions, but the world is rarely perfect.

We do not provide free demos of our equipment, but we offer a money-back guarantee if our system doesn't work as promised, so you can try us risk-free.
