Through these webcams, high-definition images are captured of the construction occurring at Hewlett-Packard’s new customer service and technical support center and at the first building as part of the University of New Mexico’s (UNM) West campus.

Using the camera Web site, citizens will be able to:

• See a new image of each construction project every 11 to 12 minutes
• As data collects, view a time-lapse movie of the construction process
• View images from previous days and months
• See progress of both projects side by side
• E-mail, download and print images
• Zoom in up to 600 percent for a close-up view

“The addition of this technology will help preserve the growth of Rio Rancho’s master-planned downtown so that future generations will be able to see how their city developed,” said District 1 City Councilor Mike Williams.

Images from the webcams will also be utilized as content on the city’s public, education and government cable channels, RioVision (channels 15 and 22 for Cable One subscribers).

As future development takes place in the City Center, the cameras will be repositioned to chronicle the progress of those projects.

“These webcams will greatly assist in keeping community members and those seeking information about Rio Rancho up-to-speed on what is happening – in real time – in the City Center,” said District 6 City Councilor Kathy Colley.

The purchase and installation of the webcams was made possible by Councilors Williams and Colley who contributed funding from their discretionary accounts.

The Hewlett-Packard facility is scheduled to be completed by late 2009 and it’s anticipated that the UNM West campus will be offering classes by the spring semester of 2010.

The webcam images are made possible by OxBlue, the construction industry’s webcam solution. Servicing of the cameras will be provided by Edit House Productions LLC, the city’s contracted service provider for RioVision.
