Lollipop signs with inbuilt video cameras to record incidents and car number plates will be sent out to crossing patrol staff in councils, including Kirklees later this month.
Dozens of lollipop staff have needed hospital treatment after being hit by cars, and others complain of regular abuse and intimidation.
Part of their training now involves how to handle confrontations.
Don MacDougall, principal road safety officer at Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, is among those who have placed orders for the devices, known as Routesafe monitors.
He said: "Unfortunately these incidents appear to be on the increase. It's not just drivers who refuse to stop, but also those who rev their engines, shout abuse and make staff feel unsafe."
He said the Routesafe monitors would provide harder evidence against the culprits, and hoped they would be a deterrent.
Kirklees cabinet member for Highways Coun David Hall welcomed the move.
He said: "Our patrols do a fantastic job looking after the safety of our children and these Routesafe monitors will give them extra peace of mind when stepping out into the highway."
Carol Robson stands near the Co-op supermarket on Leeds Road, Dewsbury, and has been helping people to cross safely for 30 years.
She said: "I said years ago that it would be handy to have a camera and it is a good idea if something is done when you've taken a picture and if taking a picture doesn't get in the way of helping kids cross the road safely.
"I have to say though that I don't really get a lot of trouble from my motorists. You get the odd one or two, but that's all."
There were an estimated 1,400 lollipop rage incidents reported to councils last year.

Typical offences include:
Driving around patrols when they are in the road.

Revving engines or sounding horns while the patrol and children are crossing.

Driving too close to the patrol.

Swearing and shouting threats.



A lollipop STOP sign has the same legal power as a red traffic light, and those who fail to obey it can expect fines of up to £1,000 and three points on their licences.
