Udupi Police Leverage NPR Cameras to Reduce Traffic Violations
By ETF Desk
Udupi Police have intensified their traffic enforcement by deploying Next‑Generation Police cameras, known as NPR cameras, across key junctions and stretches of the city’s busiest roads. These high‑definition cameras capture real‑time footage of speeding, red‑light running and illegal parking, enabling officials to issue fines and take immediate action.
According to the police department, the cameras work in tandem with a mobile application and an online portal, allowing targeting of violations within minutes of occurrence. Drivers receive notifications via SMS and can view the evidence online, providing a transparent and deterrent system. The campaign also includes community outreach and road safety workshops to reinforce proper driving habits.
The impact has been significant: traffic violations dropped by an estimated 30 percent in the first quarter after installation, with a noticeable decline in accidents reported on the monitored routes. Police officials report that the technology has also reduced the time spent on manual monitoring and increased the number of potential fines processed daily. Source: Google News – Udupi.
