Video Cameras and Software

CCTV cameras provide real-time visibility at intersections, corridors, and high-traffic locations. They allow operators to detect incidents, verify roadway conditions, and monitor congestion without deploying staff to the field. This improves response times and ensures smoother commutes for residents and emergency responders alike.

Video management software centralizes all camera feeds into one secure platform. Operators can view, record, and analyze footage from multiple sites without needing to switch between systems. This makes it easier to coordinate resources, share information with partner agencies, and make decisions that reduce delays and improve safety for road users.

Fiber-based video transmission allows high-quality video and data to travel long distances with minimal delay. For large-scale transportation networks, this ensures operators see accurate, real-time images that support quick decision-making. Reliable fiber backbones also help agencies prepare for future growth, ensuring communities benefit from smoother, more connected traffic management systems.

Roadway cameras must operate reliably in challenging conditions, including heavy vibration, extreme weather, and changing light. High-resolution imaging, durable housings, and reliable encoders ensure clear, usable footage at all times. For example, the WTI Sidewinder provides pan-tilt-zoom capability in a rugged enclosure, making it well-suited for traffic corridors, intersections, and other demanding environments. Cameras like this give operators the ability to monitor safety hazards, protect vulnerable road users, and maintain reliable traffic flow.

Archived video data can reveal traffic trends, recurring congestion points, and seasonal travel patterns. This information enables agencies to adjust signal timing, enhance roadway design, and assess the effectiveness of projects. For the community, this translates into reduced congestion, shorter travel times, and safer streets.

Western Systems partners with trusted providers, including Siqura/TKH Security, WTI, IndigoVision, and Axis Communications. Their proven hardware and software platforms support reliable video monitoring and management across a variety of transportation networks, ensuring agencies can deliver consistent service and safer travel for the public.
