Radar Speed Detection

Camera

A camera that extends above the board to monitor traffic, raised to nearly 20 feet above the ground. Useful in smart work zones: with real-time traffic information from the camera, transportation officials can customize messages to warn motorists about what is actually happening ahead.
Boards with a camera also include a tilt and rotate solar array.
To customize the messages via Command Center, the board needs the remote communications option enabled. Camera image transmission needs a separate modem and cell service. Manufacturer’s warranty applies.

What makes our message boards different?

Built to Deliver Value for Decades

Many customers continue operating and generating revenue from 15-20-year-old SolarTech message boards thanks to long-term parts availability, repairability, and durable construction.

Designed for Easy Troubleshooting & Repairs

Pixel-level diagnostics identify problems quickly, and tool-free display modules can be replaced in the field without bringing the trailer back to the shop.

Configure It Your Way

Choose from numerous display type, battery bank size, solar array size, doplar radar, camera, various ITS sensors, and communications. Control locally, remotely, by schedule, or through Command Center.
