Power lines deliver electricity from the plant to the power substations where it is converted before being distributed to the local community. It is therefore imperative that power substations are constantly monitored for safety and maintenance as they are often located near or in a populated area. This white paper explains the benefits of real-time video monitoring and IP video technology, as well as factors to consider in deploying an optimal IP video surveillance system for a power substation.

Real-time Video Monitoring Increases the Efficiency of SCADA Process Management
Traditional SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems have been an important part of automation control systems for many years, and they are designed to monitor and control the status of devices and processes. A new trend is to integrate real-time video surveillance into SCADA systems to give system operators a more powerful tool for managing their processes.

Six Factors to Consider when Upgrading to an Industrial Grade IP Surveillance System
Most video-over-IP solutions for the surveillance market are designed for general purpose applications, which mean they are only suitable for use in comfortable office-type environments. However, in some critical and harsh environments, such as are seen in road traffic applications, oil/gas refineries, pipelines, and Mining pits, a rugged and well-designed industrial video-over-IP solution is essential to ensure that the video surveillance system works stably and reliably. In this white paper, we highlight six of the most important factors to consider when selecting industrial grade IP surveillance devices for industrial applications.

Summary
Video Transmission in Transportation Management Systems
Video cameras play an important role in providing administrators of modern Transportation Management Systems with real-time information. Unlike other types of detectors and sensors—which only provide digital data— cameras provide real-time images of traffic situations, giving administrators a valuable tool for analyzing complicated traffic patterns and making snap decisions.
