In recent months, the latest intelligent radar systems have been installed in Baku, which differ significantly from the old speed control cameras. These modern systems operate on the basis of high-precision video analysis and are capable of detecting violations in almost any conditions – even through a car’s windshield.
What can the new cameras in Baku detect?
New radars and traffic control cameras in Baku are able to:
- 📱 Detect the use of a phone in the driver’s hand while driving
- 🚫 Identify drivers without a seat belt
- 🚦 Monitor running a red light
- 🚗 Record speeding
- 🔍 Operate day and night, in any lighting conditions
- 🎥 Capture high-definition images, even if the windows are slightly tinted
It is important to understand: these cameras do not just “take photos” – they analyze the driver’s behavior inside the vehicle.
Why have fines started coming more often?
Many drivers, especially visitors to the city, are surprised by the number of fines. The reason is simple – the human factor is almost completely eliminated. The cameras work automatically and record violations without warnings. Even brief phone use or not wearing a seat belt can result in a fine.

What is important for tourists and car renters to know?
If you rent a car in Baku, it is worth remembering:
- Fines are issued automatically and recorded in the system
- Violations may be detected several days later
- Payment of fines is the driver’s responsibility
- Using a phone without hands-free is one of the most common reasons for fines
That is why it is important to follow the rules from the very first day of your trip.
