How do I download vehicle data from my SpeedCheck radar speed sign?
This article discusses how to download the vehicle data using SpeedCheck Manager (PC or mobile) for your SpeedCheck radar speed sign.
Product applicability
The following products are discussed in this article:
- SpeedCheck: SPEEDCHECK-12, SPEEDCHECK-15, and SPEEDCHECK-18
The SpeedCheck radar speed signs collect date, time, and speed of each detected vehicle. The system can hold up to 300,000 unique entries before the memory is completely full, where it will either start overwriting the oldest data or stop collecting new data. The way the system collects and overwrites data is an option within SpeedCheck Manager (Circular Data Collection).
SPEEDCHECK-12/15/18 (SpeedCheck Manager mobile app)
- SPEEDCHECK-12 - Requires version 2.0.0 or newer.
- SPEEDCHECK-15/18 - Requires supported hardware and version 3.0.0 or newer.
Please visit your app store to ensure you have the latest version downloaded of the SpeedCheck Manager mobile app.
To download the vehicle data follow these instructions:
- Open SpeedCheck Manager on your mobile device.
- Tap on the system you wish to connect to and enter the password. The radar speed display will blink "00" to denote which system you are connected to.
- Tap on the ellipsis icon (…) in the upper right and then tap on advanced options.
- Under the Data Collection section you will see Vehicle Data. This shows you the number of vehicles logged since the memory has been cleared last and how full the memory is. Tap on Vehicle Data.
- Tap on DOWNLOAD Log and then tap on Continue. The more vehicle data in the memory the longer this download will take. The app will estimate the download time.
- Tap on SHARE LOG and send the file to yourself or another user.
- Import this file into SpeedCheck Traffic Analyzer on a PC for further analysis and filtering.

To download the vehicle data follow these instructions:

- Column A = date
- Column B = time

Vehicle data requires the following:

For the latest version of SpeedCheck Manager (PC), which includes SpeedCheck Traffic Analyzer, please see our article here.
Circular Data Collection - enabling this will overwrite the oldest data once the memory is full.
PC users:
