RZ4C Color Camera from TAPCO
Enlarge

The Vantage Camera has been optimized for use in outdoor conditions specifically for the viewing of traffic flows at the intersection, on the highway, on bridges or in tunnels. The camera's image is normally adjusted to view up to 4 or 5 lanes of traffic. From this image, the Vantage video detection processor can be configured to detect the presence, motion, speed and classification of vehicles. Other uses for video detection include: Ramp Metering, Pedestrian Detection, Red Light Enforcement as well as Bicycle Detection. It all depends on where and how you position the Vantage Camera.

The camera is virtually maintenance-free. To prevent the buildup of condensation and ice on the lens glass the camera housing is fitted with a heater that ensures a clear view at all times. We offer the Vantage Camera with a three year limited warranty.

The camera housing incorporates an adjustable mounting bracket that allows the camera to be positioned correctly. The mounting bracket is pre-drilled for easy attachment to a variety of poles and other street fixtures. All connectors for cables are located at the back of the camera housing making installation and maintenance quick and simple.

The wireless Vantage™ system from TAPCO
Enlarge

The flexibility and ease of use of video detection has just been enhanced! The wireless Vantage™ system offers traffic engineers a new way to implement video detection where installation of cables is not possible or desirable. Ideal for retrofitting older sites with full conduits, temporary detection in construction zones, and advanced detection applications.

Wireless video detection for construction management activities during road widening, intersection improvements, or temporary lane closures are obvious applications.

Other applications that could significantly benefit from the use of wireless Vantage systems are locations where road surfaces are continually being damaged by heavy vehicles or severe weather. At these locations, permanent installations of the wireless system significantly reduce recurring maintenance costs and headaches.
