Intrusion Detection with SNMP and IP Video in Factory
Project Introduction Wars and oils are the hottest issues in the Middle East. And the oil storage tanks are usually the target of attack during wartime. Typically, oil storage tanks and refining equipment are the most important parts of the oil refinery industry. To protect those facilities from being damaged is a top priority of those oil vendors. One of our customers in Europe planned to combine video and alarm signals in one fiber network. In addition to video surveillance, digital I/O devices in the field were used for remote monitoring and alarm. However, the IP surveillance system is a bandwidth killer. To assure those alarm messages can be delivered with precise time stamps is the key. The client used SNMP to monitor their network devices and wanted to integrate this new intrusion detection system with their remote monitoring system. SNMP, Fiber network and low bandwidth consumption are the prerequisites for the new system.
System Requirements
The customer needed to implement an IP video surveillance system at a factory,
with certain areas requiring around the clock monitoring. In addition to video surveillance,
digital I/O devices in the field would be used for remote monitoring and
control. The client wished to manage all devices in the factory using a single platform,
including all I/O signals. SNMP was the chosen platform, and the complete
system needed to provide the following:
•
SNMP support for each devicet
•
I/O device/status controlled by SNMP
•
Device status reporting by SNMP traps
•
Large bandwidth using fiber ring architecture
•
Industrial-grade video surveillance to withstand bad weather conditions
Moxa Solution
To implement a reliable network backbone that can support 200 IP video feeds, the customer used the EDS-510A managed Ethernet switch to build a redundant Gigabit Ethernet network. Although the EDS-510A's two digital input channels are insufficient for extra monitoring devices, the ioLogik E2210 Active Ethernet I/O server was able to provide the necessary digital I/O channels. The built-in SNMP support and multiple I/O channels of ioLogik E2210 are available for control and monitoring by SNMP, no additional management software is required. In addition, status changes of each I/O channel can be actively reported by SNMP traps, so there is no need for data polling.

Solutions for redundant Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure
When new systems are introduced or implemented, engineers place a high priority on integrating all devices into a single management system. The SNMP protocol has been well-established in the IT domain and is growing more and more popular for industrial applications. Many factories now employ SNMP software to manage their IP-based devices. Moxa's Active Ethernet I/O servers provide full SNMP support, giving industrial users an easy and hassle-free solution to integrate their digital I/O devices.
