8117 WANCO, a leading manufacturer of highway safety and traffic control products for more than 30 years, has enhanced its Remote Video Monitoring System (RVMS) in advance of ITS America in Pittsburgh. The company’s camera systems are fully compatible with streaming servers so users can take advantage of the changing economics of streaming technology for portable remote monitoring of traffic, work sites and equipment yards.

WANCO’s RVMS combines a variable message sign with a remotely-controlled video surveillance system and can now integrate with fixed camera systems for remote monitoring using a laptop computer, minimizing data charges for access to the onboard cellular GPS modem.

Resident engineers and construction project managers rely on these systems to monitor traffic and run their projects without the need for constant or repeated on-site monitoring--seeing the entire project all at once in real time.
