1. Introduction
1.1. Product Description
Power line security system (F-PLS) is an important part of power facilities on-line
monitoring system. The device provides a set of intelligent and visual real-time
monitoring scheme for power facilities by using image acquisition, data resolution,
remote control and other technologies.
F-PLS has a high performance 64-bit processor, based on Android operating
system, with 2G/3G/4G communication, GPS positioning, 433MHz access, image
recognition, wire temperature measurement, environmental monitoring, voice broadcast
and other functions. It is the best choice for online monitoring in the power industry.
The product has been widely used in the field of transmission, substation and
distribution monitoring, especially in the areas near the line corridor which is prone to
illegal activities such as pole-climbing theft, ultra-high operation, sand excavation,
mountain blasting, cofferdam digging ponds, burning, and natural disasters such as
snow ice, rainstorm, landslides and so on.
Following picture shows the typical application :
