Phoenix, Arizona, USA's sixth-largest city, has a total of 1097 intersections with traffic signals and growing. With 96 of these signalized intersections using Closed Circuit surveillance cameras installed to monitor traffic, Vivotek cameras account for 88 of the intersections with the completion of a project.
To cope with difficult high-contrast lighting and ensure clear footage 24 hours a day, the network camera incorporates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Pro technology, delivering image quality similar to that produced by the human eye under similar conditions. To enable the broadest possible field of view, the network camera offers continuous 360 degree pan and 90 degree tilt, while 36X zoom is available for close-ups on subjects of interest.
Due to Phoenix's harsh climate, one of the City's most important requirements is that the camera be able to operate smoothly even under adverse environments. As it turns out, Vivotek network camera fits the bill perfectly. Not only is its IP66-rated weather-proof housing sealed to prevent water and dust ingress, but with its operating temperature range of –40 degree to 55 degree, the network camera can perform during Phoenix's famously torrid summers.
AJP Electric, the programmer/installer of this project, chose Luxriot, an open architecture Video Management Software (VMS), as the traffic monitoring platform. Luxriot accepts MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 as well as HD and high-megapixel video streams from network cameras, encoders and video capture boards. Luxriot was compatible with Vivotek cameras and very user friendly.
