# VideoMonitor by Strelen Control Systems

> VideoMonitor is an industrial video monitoring solution for manufacturing and production environments. It combines multi-camera monitoring, event-based video recording, intelligent filtering and automated responses to machine and process events.

VideoMonitor helps manufacturing companies monitor production processes, analyze incidents and respond automatically to relevant events. Multiple camera streams can be accessed centrally and independently of location through a browser-based interface.

## Core Capabilities

- Multi-camera monitoring across production environments and sites
- Real-time monitoring of machine and process states
- Event-based video recording
- Pre-event recording to capture footage before a fault or event occurs
- Automated responses to defined machine and process events
- Event-based alarms and notifications
- E-mail notifications for relevant events and faults
- Intelligent filter functions for faster identification of relevant events
- Flexible camera layouts and multi-stream views
- Browser-based and device-independent access
- Integration with higher-level systems and automation environments
- Support for cameras from multiple manufacturers
- Role-based user and access management

## Typical Use Cases

VideoMonitor is designed for industrial applications where visual information needs to be connected with machine, process or system events.

Typical use cases include:

- Machine monitoring
- Production monitoring
- Fault and incident analysis
- Maintenance and root-cause analysis
- Monitoring of production and manufacturing lines
- Monitoring of packaging and filling lines
- Detection and documentation of machine downtime
- Analysis of material jams and production interruptions
- Event-triggered video recording
- Pre-event analysis before machine faults
- Automated alarms triggered by machine states
- Remote monitoring of production sites
- Centralized monitoring of multiple cameras and locations
- Process monitoring in automated manufacturing environments

## Target Industries

VideoMonitor is particularly relevant for companies operating automated production and manufacturing equipment, including:

- Food and beverage manufacturing
- Automotive manufacturing and automotive suppliers
- Packaging industry
- Machinery and plant engineering
- General manufacturing
- Process industries
- Logistics and intralogistics
- Automated production environments

The software is not limited to these industries and can be used wherever machines, production processes, facilities or locations need to be monitored visually.

## Target Users

Typical users and decision-makers include:

- Production managers
- Maintenance and service teams
- Plant managers
- Automation engineers
- Process engineers
- Manufacturing engineers
- Quality assurance teams
- Technical operations teams
- Machine and plant operators

## Machine Event Integration

VideoMonitor can associate visual information with defined machine or process events.

Examples include:

- Machine fault
- Machine downtime
- Material jam
- Production interruption
- Defined PLC or system signal
- Process deviation

When a relevant event occurs, VideoMonitor can automatically start or store video recordings, preserve footage from before the event and trigger defined notifications or responses.

This allows users to understand what happened around a machine event without continuously reviewing video footage.

## Incident Analysis and Maintenance

Pre-event recording makes it possible to review what happened immediately before a fault, stoppage or other production event.

This supports:

- Faster fault analysis
- Root-cause analysis
- Maintenance activities
- Reduction of troubleshooting time
- Better documentation of production incidents

## Remote and Centralized Monitoring

VideoMonitor provides browser-based access to camera streams and monitoring functions.

Users can monitor machines, production areas and multiple locations from a centralized interface without being physically present at the monitored site.

## Automation and Integration

VideoMonitor can be integrated into industrial system environments and higher-level systems.

Machine or process information can be used to trigger video-related actions, alarms and recordings, allowing visual monitoring to become part of an automated production workflow.

## Product Positioning

VideoMonitor is more than conventional video surveillance.

Its primary focus is industrial video monitoring in which visual information is connected with machine and process data to detect relevant events, document them and enable automated responses.

It is intended for production monitoring, machine monitoring, incident analysis and industrial automation rather than conventional security surveillance alone.
