Longwatch

The Longwatch Video System™, is a portfolio of products that enables HMI system users to integrate real-time and recorded video with their automation events and easily verify alarms at local and remote sites using both legacy and new networking infrastructures. The system integrates video and system alarms on the same display for fast, reliable operation and decision-making.

The Longwatch Video Surveillance System has been integrated with Wonderware's InTouch HMI, Active Factory, Historian and MES software in several applications. The combination of Wonderware software and Longwatch Video systems allows operators in process control applications to see live and archived video from the plant floor directly on their Wonderware HMI screens. This allows operators to "see" what is going on in a process plant or factory without having to send someone to the scene. The operator can also "rewind" the video to see what happened a few seconds or a few hours before an incident. Learn more at www.longwatch.com.

Longwatch Components

• The Longwatch Video System consists of a number of software modules that provide camera management, video archiving, data management, graphic display and system configuration. The system uses a distributed system architecture, to deliver performance, scalability and fault tolerance.
• The Longwatch Video Historian is a breakthrough in data management: automatically linking and integrating real plant video to help improve plant efficiency, documentation regulatory compliance and operations management.
• The Longwatch Operator's Console Recorder is a software module that enables automatic recording of your HMI or SCADA operator's console display. With this tool, Longwatch archives exactly what the operator was seeing, because it records the video that's being sent to the display itself.
