Watching over Tunnels

Tunnels are a challenge because of the dimly lit interior contrasting the bright light of the entry and exits of the tunnel. Camera selections for long views will be very different from those used for views of the length of the tunnel. Camera systems can watch over tunnels to help determine the condition of traffic. This can help to identify potential problems to help for faster issue resolution. In addition, you can keep a video log of all cars and drivers who pass through the tunnel.

Typical uses and recommendations are shown in the table below.
