Sant Joan Plans 30 Traffic Cameras Across 15 Locations in Ibiza: Full List of Roads and Areas

12 November 2026

Sant Joan de Labritja is planning to expand its municipal traffic monitoring network with 30 new cameras distributed across 15 locations throughout the municipality. The project, with a tender budget of €101,567.40 including VAT, will introduce automatic number-plate recognition technology alongside cameras monitoring the surrounding road environment.

The proposed locations extend from Portinatx and Cala Xarraca in the north to Cala Sant Vicent, Sant Miquel and the roads around Sant Llorenç. The equipment is intended to help the Local Police monitor vehicle movements, review traffic records and identify potential road-safety offences.

The procurement process was published on 6 November 2026, with companies able to submit bids until 23 November at 14:00. The contract provides for a three-month delivery and installation period following its formalisation.

30 Cameras, Including Number-Plate Recognition Technology

Although the tender is formally described as the supply and installation of 15 additional video-camera systems, its technical specifications provide for 30 individual cameras.

Each of the 15 locations will receive two different devices:

  • 15 LPR cameras: Designed to recognise vehicle registration plates automatically.

  • 15 DOMO cameras: Designed to monitor the surrounding area and provide a wider view of traffic conditions.

The two-camera arrangement is intended to combine vehicle identification with visual monitoring of the road environment.

The equipment will connect to the municipality's existing video-management platform, allowing authorised Local Police personnel to access the images and traffic records through the municipal control system.

What Will the New Cameras Be Able to Detect?

One of the principal functions of the new system will be the automatic identification of vehicles passing through the monitored locations.

The technical specifications require the number-plate recognition cameras to operate during both daytime and nighttime and to identify vehicles travelling at speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour.

The tender also specifies a recognition reliability rate of more than 95%. Each recorded vehicle passage will be associated with its registration number, date, time and corresponding images.

The software will allow authorised users to search the historical records using a vehicle's registration number and review the associated images in chronological order. It will also provide tools to examine traffic activity at the different monitored locations.

Other functions include the creation of authorised and restricted registration lists, alerts and vehicle-access permissions.

Could the System Calculate Average Speeds?

The technical documentation also provides for the possibility of configuring the cameras as a section-control system, calculating a vehicle's average speed between different camera points through its number-plate records.

However, the tender does not specify which roads would use this function or confirm that it will be activated to issue speeding fines.

The distinction is important: the system has the technical capability to calculate average speeds, but this does not mean that a speed-enforcement system has already been approved for every proposed location.

The 15 Proposed Camera Locations Across Sant Joan

The tender identifies 15 locations distributed across the municipality, covering residential areas, roads, access points and places used by residents and visitors.

The proposed locations are:

  1. Es Pins: Near the bus stop in the Sant Llorenç area.

  2. A Mi Manera: At the location identified by this name.

  3. Cana Ubarqueta: An existing camera is already present, but its orientation is expected to be reviewed and corrected.

  4. Cala Xarraca: In the coastal area.

  5. Es Canaret: At the turn-off towards the area.

  6. Portinatx: Near the underground rubbish containers.

  7. Isla Blanca: At the location identified in the technical documentation.

  8. Can Sulayetas: In the municipality's rural road network.

  9. Sant Mateu road: Along the road connecting the area.

  10. Can Curuné: At the location identified by this name.

  11. Aubergine: Near the establishment.

  12. Sant Miquel municipal swimming pool: At the entrance to the municipal facility.

  13. Port de Sant Miquel: In the unpaved car park.

  14. Benirràs: At the roundabout.

  15. Cala Sant Vicent: At the football ground.

The locations are spread across different parts of Sant Joan, rather than concentrated in the main town centre. The proposed network is intended to extend traffic monitoring to a wider area of the municipality.

The technical documentation includes coordinates for the proposed installations, but these are indicative. The final positions must be checked on site, with particular attention to Cana Ubarqueta, the Benirràs roundabout and the Cala Sant Vicent football ground.

Solar Panels and 4G Connections

The new equipment is designed to operate without depending on a permanent conventional electricity supply at each location.

Each installation will include its own solar panel and battery system, together with communications equipment using 4G-LTE technology. This will allow the cameras to transmit information to the municipality's central management platform without requiring a conventional wired connection between the locations.

Images and vehicle records will be managed through a cloud-based platform. The technical specifications require the management platform and storage infrastructure to meet the high-level certification requirements of Spain's National Security Framework, known as the Esquema Nacional de Seguridad.

Authorised Local Police officers will be able to access the system from the municipal control centre, with the technical specifications also providing for access through mobile phones and tablets.

More Than €100,000 for the Traffic Monitoring Expansion

The tender has an estimated value of €83,940 excluding VAT. With VAT included, the total budget is €101,567.40.

The largest equipment allocation is for the number-plate recognition cameras, budgeted at €22,485. The solar kits account for another €19,650, while the dome cameras are allocated €7,485.

The budget also includes €9,300 for 4G communications equipment and connections, €2,700 for installation work and €22,320 for data services, the private network, the management platform and virtual storage.

The contract includes the supply of the equipment, installation, configuration, integration with the existing system and training for Local Police officers.

The maximum period for delivery and commissioning is three months from the signing of the contract. The equipment will have a one-year warranty, alongside a 12-month maintenance period.

Companies Have Until 23 November to Submit Bids

Sant Joan Town Hall is managing the procurement through an open simplified procedure.

Companies interested in supplying and installing the equipment can submit their proposals electronically through Spain's Public Sector Procurement Platform until Monday, 23 November 2026, at 14:00.

The price offered will account for 70 points in the evaluation, while the remaining 30 points will be awarded according to the proposed reduction in delivery time.

The contract has not yet been awarded. The three-month installation period will begin after the procurement process has concluded and the contract has been formally signed.

Expanding Traffic Monitoring Across Sant Joan

The planned installation represents a further expansion of Sant Joan's existing municipal traffic-management system.

The municipality has previously discussed the use of number-plate recognition cameras in response to concerns about dangerous driving and illegal motorcycle racing, particularly on the road towards Cala de Sant Vicent.

The new tender extends the proposed monitoring network across 15 locations, providing the Local Police with additional tools to identify vehicles, consult traffic records and examine activity on roads throughout the municipality.

The project remains at the procurement stage. Its final implementation will depend on the outcome of the tender and the subsequent installation and commissioning of the equipment.
