2 Product Specifications
2.1 Use and Application
This manual applies to the industrial event camera (hereinafter referred to as camera). The
camera is supplied with 24 V DC and features a network interface (10BaseT/100Base-TX) and
trigger input. The camera is used for the continuous monitoring of machinery and systems in
industrial applications.
Recording can be triggered directly from the PLC via the network interface. The recording func-
tion supports a pre-run buffer of up to 15 minutes to optimally capture events. The rugged
design and the integrated heater to prevent condensation mean that the camera can be used
under harsh operating conditions. The camera is automated and integrated via a web interface.

Special Product Features
Video Recording Function with Pre-Run and Post-Run Buffer
•In addition to the video recording function, the recording function supports pre-run buffers
to capture actions that occur before the trigger event. The user can see what happened
60 seconds before and after an event. With the expert settings, the recording time can be
extended up to 15 minutes. This can be useful for applications whereby unexpected
events and operations must be stored for fault analysis or documentation purposes.
Integrated Web-Based, Password-Protected User Interface
•The camera has a web interface for easy commissioning and diagnostic purposes. The
camera can be configured via a standard web browser.
Integrated Heater
•Since the camera can be used at ambient temperatures as low as -30 °C, a heater that
can be adjusted via software is integrated to minimize the formation of condensation
around the camera lens .
Static and Dynamic Text Overlays in the Video
•Static: camera name, time, date in live view, and recording.
•Dynamic: The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) interface enables user-defined overlay
information to be added to the video sequence, e.g., for certain error messages. This sim-
plifies fault analysis.
REST API
•REST API allows an individual user interface to be programmed and for the camera to be
integrated directly into IT systems. The REST API can read out information and issue
commands (e.g., a trigger signal).
Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)
•The camera supports the RTSP standard protocol for video streaming, so audio-visual
data can be transferred across the network. This allows the camera live view to be dis-
played on standard HMI displays using RTSP.
Application Examples
Accessories for Safety Devices
The camera is an accessory for safety devices to quickly identify the cause of a safety-related
fault.
