Abstract
An alarm apparatus includes a first camera facing a first direction of a road, a second camera facing a second direction of the road, a first output device facing the first direction of the road, a second output device facing the second direction of the road, a processor, and a storage unit including a detecting module and a controlling module. The detecting module stores a first instruction executed by the processor, thereby the processor receives the images captured by the first and the second cameras and determines what is the state of the road condition. The controlling module stores a second instruction executed by the processor, thereby the processor controls the first and the second output devices to send out appropriate alarming signals.
