SmartEye automatic road traffic surveillance systems developed in Poland have been delivered to Portugal. These are the latest solutions from PolCam Systems selected by the country’s authorities, further strengthening the presence of Polish technologies abroad. The implementation demonstrates the effective international expansion of systems developed by the WB GROUP’s dedicated road safety competence centre. The devices supplied are fully integrated with Portugal’s national automated enforcement infrastructure.
The Portuguese authorities have already received dozens of SmartEye ST-1 systems, which have been deployed as fixed roadside enforcement points. Operating in fully automated mode, each system is capable of monitoring up to 32 vehicles simultaneously across multiple lanes.
Thanks to the integration of 3D radar with a high-resolution camera, the Polish-developed systems are able to detect a wide range of violations, including speeding, red-light running, lack of mandatory insurance, expired technical inspections, and unauthorised use of bus lanes.
The stationary SmartEye ST-1 units are fully compatible with external IP cameras and centralised databases — such as blacklists and records of insurance and inspection status — enabling seamless integration with existing national enforcement systems.
The systems generate high-quality Full HD evidence and automatically identify the vehicle’s make, model, colour, and country of origin — including vehicles registered outside the European Union. The system enclosure complies with IP66/IP67 standards, ensuring high durability and reliability in changing environmental conditions.
The systems delivered by WB GROUP have been adapted to meet Portugal’s local legal and regulatory requirements. Deployment and commissioning were carried out in close cooperation with the end user, in accordance with applicable technical and organisational standards. The SmartEye units are equipped with anti-tampering sensors, enclosure-opening detectors, and internal temperature monitoring.
PolCam Systems’ solutions address the growing need for real-time prevention and enforcement of road traffic regulations. Thanks to its modular architecture and full automation, the SmartEye ST-1 system supports road traffic authorities with consistent and independent operation across multiple environments and markets.
WB GROUP’s portfolio also includes a mobile version of the system — SmartEye MT-1. Installed in a moving vehicle, the system enables precise enforcement on the move. It offers operational flexibility for dynamic patrols and ad hoc deployments, while maintaining full functionality.
In the face of increasing traffic volumes and growing numbers of vehicles, automated enforcement systems reduce the burden on human operators by providing continuous, objective, and uninterrupted surveillance. Intelligent data analytics combined with evidentiary-grade recordings offer crucial support to agencies responsible for public safety.
The effectiveness of these systems is evident not only in urban environments, but also along transit routes and roads of strategic importance. They are also successfully deployed internationally — including in Croatia and Indonesia — where they have become a key part of road traffic monitoring infrastructure.
