"The goal of this program is not about issuing tickets, but to reduce the risk of serious and fatal crashes and to make Washington Street safer for all road users, including pedestrians," Police Chief Erik Costa said in a statement.
The money goes back to road safety infrastructure or safety initiatives.
Middletown is the third municipality to get the tech, along with Washington (the first) and Marlborough.
Several others are still in the planning phase, including Greenwich, Hamden, New Haven, Stamford, Stratford and Wethersfield.
