Rapid-Deployment CCTV Designed for Highways
The WCCTV Traffic Tower is a rapid deployment CCTV tower built specifically for highways and carriageway works. It provides automated incident detection to enhance safety for both road users and highway workers.
Using intelligent video analytics, the system can identify stopped vehicles, unauthorised access, dangerous obstructions, high-risk behaviour and developing congestion. It helps your team respond quickly before issues escalate.
Each unit includes two fixed cameras for detection and a PTZ for incident review. Footage and alerts are transmitted wirelessly, with all recordings stored locally for post-event analysis.
The system can be installed or repositioned by on-site teams in minutes, making it ideal for lane closures, diversions or overnight works.
Unlike standard roadside cameras, this unit delivers live analysis and issues alerts as soon as a threat is detected. It gives highways teams time to act, not just watch.
Intelligent Highways Monitoring
The Traffic Tower has been specifically designed for deployment alongside roads and motorways, with intelligent video analytics providing automated alerts of traffic incidents.
The Traffic Tower requires no complicated installation process, so it can be deployed at your locations within minutes, providing complete coverage of your transport network.
The Traffic Tower is powered by solar energy with battery backup meaning it can be deployed to practically any location regardless of power or internet availability.
WCCTV's Towers can easily be moved around your sites and compounds by your onsite staff, meaning you can quickly address any emerging monitoring needs.
All live and recorded video from WCCTV's Towers is delivered by mobile connectivity, allowing you to access footage from your phone or laptop at any time, from anywhere.
With our CCTV rental options, you only need to pay for cameras when you need them most. We will deliver and install kit when you need it, and take it away when you don't.
