The Canyon camera that was knocked down last month was remounted yesterday at its original intersection.

The camera, located at the corner of Hiester Street and Beaver Avenue, had been out of service since it was struck by a recreational vehicle on Oct. 4.

State College Police Chief Tom King said there was no structural damage to the camera.

However, Wacor Electronics, the company that installed all three cameras, recommended it be sent back to the manufacturer to dry any condensation that might have accumulated after the accident.

"There was a concern of condensation inside the camera, since it was exposed to the elements after it was knocked down," King said.

"We wanted to ensure that there was no long-term damage to it."

Wacor Electronics would not comment on any specific details of the damaged camera.

King added that the timetable of re-installation was on schedule, and a rush order was not requested due to additional costs.

"This was the standard time frame for this type of service," King said.

"Wacor fixed the camera and told us the first available day they would be available to reinstall it."

He said that after the camera is installed, a test recording would ensure that the camera is once again working and images are being sent.

"It should become totally operational," King said.

He added that the cost of the accident would be minimal, although the specific amount was not yet available.

"There may be a non-significant fee for the reinstallation," King said. "The cost will not be that much because there were no actual parts that were replaced."

Although there were witnesses to last month's accident, none of them were able to report a license plate number.

The camera did record the vehicle moving toward it, but did not catch the plate number either.

State College police are asking anyone with information about the accident, especially a license plate number, to contact 234-7150.
