Gear to record video of the pedestrian crossing and the speed of Eastbound traffic in front of Earlham on National Road West.

Test-drive current Axis camera "in-situ" on the wind geny's tripod. Use the PMP1 for the interface with the directional WiFi antenna. Location is likely to be the shrubbery near the East side of the entrance.
Research all-in-one systems, see Alan's email.
Research discrete speed sensors, pay close attention to the interface and data stream.

~~directional wifi antenna / Newegg url~~
- comes with N-Type, RP-SMA and RP-TNC connectors
- We will definitely need 2 or 3 of these MC to RP-SMA Adaptors/Cables (example)
- Also, we will need at least 10ft RP-SMA extension cable (male to female)
~~AC to DC power supply (I think one of these will do)~~
- SP-100-12 12V, 0~8.5A
- SP-150-12 12V, 0~12.5A
- SP-150-13.5 13.5V, 0~11.2A
- SP-200-15 15V, 0~13.4A
- SP-150-15 15V, 0~10A
New PMP
Speed Sensor [Radar]
Linksys WRT54GL Router
Shrubbery

Technologic Systems single-board computer
WiFi interface with directional antenna
DRS1000 Delta speed sensor
Axis weatherproof camera - Consider the AXIS 211
POE injector - homebrew with e.g. Linksys vs one with native 12VDC input capability
Weatherproof case - Consider the AXIS ACH13HB, the datasheet is available at the same URL as the AXIS 211 camera (above) or the AXIS 290B

install speed sensor
redo camera interface to be customized for this project
measure power consumption of complete unit
deploy functional traffic cam unit

60 seconds/minute x 60 minutes/hour x 24 hours/day x 7 days/week x 4.5 weeks/month x 12 months/year = 32,659,200 seconds/year
1 frame/second x 20 KB/frame x 32,659,200 seconds/year = 653,184,000 KB/year or 637,875 MB/year or 623 GB/year

Cache 2 minutes locally
Use infobomb stack to transfer and append to current day's movie
4a-3:59a movies, sync with infobomb and roll-over, simple trac or fancydir listing by year-month

Interface - 1 second frames, manual video review, automated video review, speed/video correlation,
Overall duration, 1 year?
Better density
