Locations of phone and seat belt detection hi-tech cameras are now out. These cameras detect and take photos of drivers who use portable devices, like mobile phones. The cameras can also pick up people in the front seats not wearing their seat belts. Each camera trailer has two cameras and an infra-red flash that are enabled with artificial intelligence (AI) software. The twin cameras take high-resolution images any time of the day or night, and in all traffic and weather conditions.
The AI technology automatically reviews each image.
The minimum fine for omitting to wear a seat belt is $370, while offences for using a mobile phone illegally start from $555 and come with a penalty of four demerit points.
Below are some of the Brimbank suburbs and roads that are fitted with the cameras:
• Keilor Downs: Green Gully Road
• Taylor Lakes: Melton Highway
• Taylor Hills: Hume Drive
• Caroline Springs: Westwood Drive
• Hillside: Calder Park Drive
• Keilor Park Drive: Keilor Park
