Vaisala Traffic Weather Cameras

Vaisala offers several Traffic Weather Cameras to meet the needs of remote weather locations, and provide the image that might just be worth a thousand words.

     Overview

     
    Vaisala’s color video camera monitors road conditions remotely, allowing you to directly see critical information from clear, crisp images. The color video camera has a fixed field of view and an orientation that is manually adjusted during installation. It utilizes fully integrated on-board frame grabber technology, which allows the same communication link to be used for both RWIS data and video images.

    Benefit from all the advantages of vibrant color! The camera has superior resolution, color vibrancy, picture clarity and reliability. Output is available in JPEG via RS-232 or NTSC.

    PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) Camera

    Vaisala’s PTZ camera enables you to see multiple locations from a single camera. The PTZ camera contains a progressive scan color sensor, auto-focus and composite video output. It has no mechanical pan limits with continuous rotation capability in either direction (rapid 180° tilt and 360° rotation), variable pan and tilt speeds, continuous tilt movement, and auto image rotation.

    The PTZ camera has a 23:1 optical zoom lens with 64 zoom, focus, pan and tilt preset positions. You may predefine images by position and zoom, selecting up to eight predefined views for capture and transfer. Low-light features allow the camera to return images at night or during adverse conditions, with images provided in JPEG format for easy viewing.

    Single Day and Day/Night Camera

    These cameras offer an all-in-one solution for customers requiring images to be captured at the weather station. One or more cameras can be installed on a ROSA weather station (ESS).

    The Traffic Weather camera has a single fixed lens, provides color images during the day, and into dusk, where street lighting is present. The addition of an infra-red module provides enhanced images throughout the hours of darkness, without the need for street lighting to be present.
