Scada compliant IP surveillance software

June 2012 Sensors & Transducers

Moxa has released the latest edition of SoftNVR-IA, a scada compliant IP surveillance software application designed for industrial automation applications. The software features a built-in OPC server that enables direct communications between factory floor automation systems and Moxa’s IP surveillance products. With the addition of a remote surveillance function, users can access live and recorded video through the web from any location, achieving instant monitoring and unparalleled ease of use.

Integrated industrial automation applications

SoftNVR-IA supports OPC communications and enables Moxa VPort IP surveillance products directly to communicate with automation systems, such as scada. Thanks to OPC communications, it can trigger video recording or alarm notifications in response to scada events and simultaneously provide automation administrators with surveillance system status reports. This software simplifies the integration of IP surveillance with automation systems and enhances automation security by merging video data with automation.

Remotely accessible video monitoring

SoftNVR-IA supports MPEG4, MPEG4, and H.264 video streams with up to 32 channels of live display. Users can choose between dual monitor and full screen display modes for video monitoring. The new edition features a remote surveillance function, which allows users to watch real-time footage, playback by event, or playback by time – all through web access. Operators can see the current status and review historical data whether they are accessing the system directly through the control centre, or remotely through the browser-based web console.

Intelligent video recording functionality

The system can set video recording and other network video functions to be triggered manually, by an event, or according to a schedule. The network video software supports pre-event video recording for up to 30 seconds, and supports the FIFO recycle function for long-term video recording. Video records can be reviewed for further analysis, troubleshooting and problem prevention, and can be filed to improve facility security and productivity.

Complete IP surveillance solutions for harsh environments

Alarm management supports a variety of responses to triggered alarms, such as popup display, go preset and audio alerts. The system is also capable of sending alarm notification e-mails to multiple addresses. Users can combine SoftNVR-IA with Moxa’s MxNVR-IA8, an industrial network video recorder that reliably delivers video streams in harsh environments. This combination creates a complete edge-to-core surveillance system that provides more flexi-bility and integrity in industrial automation.

Key features include:

* Up to 32 channels in one system.

* Create an OPC server for easy communication with automation systems.

* Live view with H.264, MPEG4, and MJPEG.

* Dual monitor display capability.

* Supports i-frame (key frame) decode only mode to save system resources for higher priority tasks.

* Video recording with manual control event-triggers and scheduler settings.

* Playback system with search by event and time.

* Supports remote live-view and remote playback via web access.
