Video Historian archives manufacturing video

The Video Historian extension for Longwatch’s Video Surveillance System enables users to acquire and store video clips linked with process and manufacturing variables such as time of day, camera number, batch step, machine ID and other control system tags. Much like a process historian that stores information about processes, the Video Historian archives video that documents procedures in batch applications, provides visual proof of regulatory compliance, monitors machinery, observes operator actions, and helps improve quality, reduce downtime and avoid costly losses.

Standard Longwatch Video Surveillance software allows video clips to be viewed on a plant’s control system HMI/SCADA screens, or sent to web browsers or cell phones.
