  • Page 2: Solution Overview

    Radar-video fusion Each technology in AXIS Q1686-DLE – radar, video, and optional license plate capture software – generates metadata on its own. The metadata includes information like speed, object class, direction, and license plate information. What’s special about this device is that it fuses the metadata, which means it connects the speed and license plate of the same vehicle.
