Methods for Embedding Video Streams in SCADA Systems New! |
|
| |
Brief Introduction
In industrial automation systems, SCADA/HMI plays an important role in remote monitoring and control. Accompanied by the popularity of IP video surveillance solutions, there is a trend towards using IP video with SCADA/HMI systems to augment remote monitoring since seeing the field site situation is more comprehensible and convincing than reading alarm messages displayed on a screen.
Unlike general I/O data that is familiar to automation engineers, IP video streams require considerably more time and effort to understand the SDK documents, programming code, and trial and error tests. This white paper provides some tips for embedding video streams into your SCADA systems for viewing and camera control.

Video Surveillance in Power Substations |
|
| |
Brief Introduction
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 |
|
| |
Brief Introduction
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 |
|
| |
Brief Introduction
Most
video-over-IP solutions for the surveillance market are
designed for general purpose applications, which means
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. The following topics are covered: |

Brief Introduction
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. The following topics are covered
