Real-time for all channels

The VisorX/NG video server works in real time, i.e. it is able to record up to 25 images per second for each video channel. Image recording can be carried out time-based, event-controlled or also permanently.

Special features:

• Digital saving and transmission of video and audio signals together with multi-standard compression and state-of-the-art image analysis algorithms
• Video management functionality based on user-programmable, internal logic control
• Redundant power supply expansion and internal SATA RAID expansion possible

Event control

The live video images are displayed on the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator station as a continuous image and/or dependent on a request or controlled by a particular event.

IP cameras

The VisorX/NG software can be used to directly integrate video signals from web cameras into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. It can be integrated with Windows ActiveX.

Analog cameras

The image information recorded by up to 32 analog cameras is digitized in the VisorX/NG video server, saved in compressed form, and transferred to the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system via an Ethernet interface.

Infrared cameras

Infrared cameras for recording of thermal images are particularly suitable for monitoring, evaluating and optimizing combustion processes, for determining temperature distributions, or for fire protection.

Camera control

Cameras with PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) function or dome cameras can be controlled from any authorized workstation in the network using a mouse and keyboard.

Cascade option

As many as 32 cameras can be connected to each VisorX/NG video server. The number of cameras used can be extended as desired by cascading video servers.

History memory

The history memory enables precise analysis of a particular event by analyzing it in the long-term archive. Unauthorized access to the long-term archive can be checked by using a password (data protection). Every time archive material is accessed it is documented.

Licensing

Enabling of OS clients is based on the user's own license administration which can be operated centrally or decentrally.

Routing through various subnets

VisorX/NG software is used to connect cameras and clients in different subnets.

Extreme ambient conditions

When combined with a wide range of enclosures, cameras can be used in hazardous areas (certified according to ATEX), in offshore applications, or in furnaces.
