I am in need of integrating camera's into a machine process. The project will involve mounting surveillance camera's on a very long/complex conveyor system. The operator will have a separate display for the camera system mounted above the operator console. The camera display/monitor needs to automatically change view/angles depending on certain machine criteria.
For instance, if a certain alarm is triggered by the PLC, or if they are running a certain material. Particular camera views would be shut off to save real estate on the monitor, or the view enlarged drawing for better viewing or the problem area.
I don't want to have to have the operator chance what camera's he will be viewing, I want the camera system to do it automatically.
I see that Moxa makes a Soft NVR that has an OPC server to integrate into PLC's. Has anyone used Moxa?
Any other suggestions?
