The Challenge
To maintain traffic flow and quickly identify incidents across a 552-mile roadway system, the commission needed to replace aging analog cameras with NDAA-compliant, high-definition IP models.
The Solution
80 AUTODOME IP starlight 7000i cameras were installed on tall poles along the turnpike, integrating seamlessly with Genetec Security Center and featuring H.265 compression.
The Results
The system delivers superior low-light imaging and reduces bandwidth and maintenance costs, empowering operators to rapidly dispatch emergency resources to customers in need.
“The project was completed on time and on budget... Through accurate planning and working closely with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, we finished the project in a timely manner.”

The Challenge
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission manages a critical 552-mile roadway system that serves half a million customers daily. To fulfill its mission of providing safe, reliable national mobility, the commission needed to modernize its aging analog roadside cameras. The new system required high-definition clarity, stringent data security, and NDAA compliance to effectively monitor traffic flow and respond to incidents.
The Solution
To upgrade this vast infrastructure, the commission deployed an intelligence-first video security solution designed specifically for intelligent transportation systems. High-performance moving cameras were installed on towering poles along the turnpike, integrating seamlessly with a centralized video management platform. The robust IP cameras deliver exceptional low-light imaging and utilize advanced compression to minimize bandwidth, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance requirements.
The Results
By delivering sharp, continuous visibility across the expansive roadway, the solution empowers the Traffic Operations Center to identify hazards instantly. This real-time visual intelligence allows operators to dispatch emergency resources rapidly and disseminate accurate information to the public, ensuring that commerce and daily commutes keep moving safely and without interruption.
