Presentation Outline A Picture is Worth a Thousand Data Points A Complete Video System for Process Control Application Story: Visualizing Remote Stations Video s Role in Intrusion Detection The Camera as a Sensor 3
HMI Screens provide a massive amount of data. but are they telling you the whole story? Low Pressure
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Data Points Video is information in visible form Pre-deciphered data The data is already interpreted: An event can be acted upon more quickly Operator error is reduced More knowledge is at the operator s fingertips Immune to malfunctioning sensors & system components Video can provide more information than data points and alarms alone.
Process Operations Video Requirements Smart Editing Show me the video surrounding an event - automatically Smart Use of My Network Don t hog my bandwidth. Provide predictable scalability SCADA Integration Make it easy for my operators to implement and use Be Everywhere Video from remote locations and locally at the plant on one system Post-event Analysis Go back in time so you can get more detail surrounding events

Why is this Video Architecture So Important? Recording at the edge: Real-time, high-resolution video capture with distributed storage and distributed processing. Tolerant against network issues and equipment outages. Video Recording on Alarm: Creation of recorded video clips when PLC or Camera alarms occur. The video is transmitted to the Control Center with the alarm. Allows operators to assess the situation quickly and respond appropriately. SCADA/HMI Integration: Video and alarming can be integrated directly to the PLC and HMI screens. Reduces errors and speeds response to events. Bandwidth Efficiency: Store and forward video architecture along with advanced video compression algorithms allow the video to be tailored to any network.

Cameras: Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Fixed
Intrusion Detection Supplemental Intrusion Detection System Intelligent sensors reliably detect attempts to climb or cut a fence, while ignoring distributed noise from wind, rain or vehicle traffic. Pan, Tilt, Zoom Camera automatically move to the disturbance to record a video clip which is sent to the Control Center.

The Camera as a Sensor Thermal Detection Camera
Specialized Industrial Thermal Cameras See conditions that aren t visible to the naked eye. Equipment for overheating and maintenance issues Tanks for slow leaks, points of failure, and real-time levels See in complete darkness and through foliage for intrusion detection
Summary Video Can Provide a New, Beneficial Type of Process Data For Remote Monitoring. The Perfect Video System for Remote Monitoring: Distributed architecture. Video Clip on event Integration of Alarming to the PLC at the edge. Integration of Video and Alarming at the Control Room. Application Story: Visualizing Remote Stations Video s Role in Intrusion Detection Integration of Video and Alarming into the Operator s Console The Camera as a Sensor The advances in Thermal Detection
Visualization is the key...to safe and efficient process control. Thank You Gregory Santos Business Development Manager Industrial Video and Control The Industrial Video Solutions Leader gsantos@longwatch.com
