What are the hours for Beijing Entry Permit enforcement cameras?
2 Answers
Beijing Entry Permit enforcement cameras operate 24 hours. Below is an introduction to the enforcement: 1. Overview: Enforcement refers to quickly capturing natural, vivid, and most expressive moments of the subject without their awareness. 2. Concept: This is not only its definition but also the distinctive feature that sets it apart from other photography methods. In the eyes of most people, enforcement is often seen as a photography technique, but for photojournalists, it should be more of a concept, a stance, and a principle. 3. Principle: Electronic eyes use induction lines to detect the pressure from vehicles on the road, collect signals through sensors to the central processor, and temporarily store them in registers (this data is valid within one red light cycle).
Having driven as a professional in Beijing for over two decades, I can honestly say there's no specific time window for the enforcement of the Beijing Entry Permit—the surveillance cameras operate 24/7. Simply put, whether it's 3 AM or high noon, if you drive within the Fifth Ring Road without a valid permit, those smart cameras will catch you instantly. Don't assume nighttime offers a loophole; these cameras are on constant alert like owls. That's why I always advise using the Beijing Traffic Police App to apply for the permit in advance—it takes just an hour to process and is valid for seven days, saving you a 100-yuan fine and penalty points. I regularly remind drivers to check their permit's expiry, especially during holiday traffic peaks—safety first, cutting corners isn't worth the hassle.
