All the D-cop elements, inside the head-housing unit, are in a modular configuration with each unit fitted with its own cooling fan. All interconnections from the street equipment are brought to a terminal which is located inside the pole. The Operator accesses the terminal through a small door mounted on the side of the pole at a height of 1.5 meters.
D-cop™ is made from a robust metal and the head unit has a hinged lockable back and two glass openings for the camera, the laser detectors and the flash. Fan assisted cooling is provided plus a temperature sensor to ensure that the unit does not operate outside its specified temperature range.
The Camera Module
The camera module supports a unique Megapixel Camera. Three types of cameras can be used. To monitor two lanes of traffic, D-cop uses a 6.1 Megapixel camera with a resolution of 3,008 x 2,000 pixels. If four or six lanes must be monitored then a 10.1 or a 12.2 Megapixel camera can be installed. The latter has a resolution of 4,288 x 2,848 pixels while the 10.2 Megapixel has a resolution of 3,872 x 2,592 pixels.
The Flash Module
The flash module is designed to provide up to two variable power white light flashes in quick succession. The power of the flash is variable to meet the wide range of lighting conditions likely to be encountered. A side flash is also available on demand.
Local Mass Storage Device
The internal Hard Disk works as a mass storage device which stores up to 500 GB of data.
Storage requirements are approximately 2 MB per violation, which means that the D-cop can hold over 250.000 violations.
Violation Detection
D-cop may use piezo stips, loops or non intrusive detectors such as laser to capture the violations.
Violations are detected by the software as follows:
Speed Violations
As soon as the measured speed exceeds the programmed speed threshold then the vehicle presence is monitored until the vehicle clears the detecting area.
 
When a violation is detected two images are captured. Since the D-cop is equipped with a Megapixel camera, the license plates is always visible in both images. The following information is stored:
- Site Name and Location
- Reference
- Violation type
- Violation number
- Date and Time
- Lane
- Speed
- Lamp State
- Time into State
- Pre-lamp State
- Pre-state time
- Frame Delay
Red Light Violations
For red-light only the state of all aspects of the signal head is continuously monitored and their 'on' time recorded. When the red aspect is detected a timer is started. When this timer exceeds the programmed 'time into red', then any detector is monitored for a moving vehicle. If a vehicle is detected, the program proceeds to violation capture.
When a red light violation is detected, two images are captured. The first when the vehicle is before the stop line and the second 10 meters after.
Data Transmission
Violations are transmitted to Copland, which is the D-cop Instation software, either on demand or automatically at any time desired.
Access to the D-cop can be achived via Internet, wireless LAN, WAN or any other communication link, since the D-cop uses a standard TCP/IP protocol.
Data Protection
The purpose of data protection is that D-cop violations cannot be tampered by anyone. The D-cop uses the same encryption methods, used by all major financial institutions (128 bit encryption coding).
Encryption transforms the images into random data ensuring that the nature of the data in unrecognizable to unauthorized observes, rendering impossible to alter any part of the images.
