Approval for advanced handheld speed enforcement

The redesigned TruSpeed Data Collector (DC) handheld device from speed camera manufacturer Tele-Traffic has been given Home Office approval for use in the detection of speeding offences.

It uses the latest advances in laser technology combined with a new, lighter exterior design, making it faster and easier to use and resulting in more accurate speed readings.

With a maximum range of 750m, the TruSpeed DC can take readings of up to 200mph in just a third of a second. Its battery operation provides up to 25 hours of cordless operation.

The battery-operated device also comes fitted with the first effective anti-detector/jammer programme, designed to prevent interference from outside sources.

There is also an integrated data collection storage facility which is easily downloadable.

Paul Garratt, director at Tele-Traffic, said: “Using the latest laser technology to provide even more accurate data, we are confident that the TruSpeed DC will make a real difference to the important speed enforcement work of police forces up and down the country.”
