Video Surveillance: Monitoring & Control
The Longwatch Video Surveillance platform is a complete stand-alone video monitoring solution that can be integrated into existing process control systems. The system is composed of industrial grade software and video recording hardware along with a flexible ‘thin client’ viewer interface. The package includes multiple process control interfaces based on industry standards such as OPC and MODBUS TCP. These interfaces allow for complete control of the video system through existing SCADA, DCS, or MES systems. Longwatch Video Surveillance is comprised of two components: the Video Control Center (VCC) and Longwatch Video Engines (LVEs).
Video Historian: Platform For Productivity
The Longwatch Video Historian is software for your computer that provides a visual context to your recorded system data. Video can show multiple variables; speed, distance, rate of change, limits, and sequences all simultaneously and unambiguously. Video Historian is a state-of-the-art tool which supplements control system data with quickly accessed, intuitive video.
Longwatch View Station
The View Station presents a fully-featured operator interface to a network of video cameras managed by the IVC Longwatch Video System. Operators are provided camera access and control, regardless of location or size of the video network. A client of the Longwatch VCC, View Station provides a scalable architecture providing robust performance for systems of any size. The format and content of a View Station display is completely configurable and can include video from multiple VCCs and LVEs. Any number of views can be defined and subsequently displayed based on application requirements.

Solving Our Customers’ Most Pressing Operational Problems With Wonderware Software
The Longwatch Console Recorder is a software platform that automatically records your critical operator workstations. Just like a camera pointed at your monitor, the Console Recorder records everything being displayed, not just a recreation of events from a data historian. View your HMI, DCS, MES, or terminal server sessions live or go back in time to see exactly how an operator dealt with an event. The Console Recorder is an invaluable method for troubleshooting, training, and process improvement.
During a shutdown or upset, get to the root cause of the issue more quickly. Video document your operations for regulatory compliance and continual process improvement. Video streams of your operator monitors can be viewed on laptops, tablets, and smart phones for on-the-go review and troubleshooting.
