Longwatch enhances Surveillance System 4.0
Longwatch released version 4.0 of its Surveillance System. Release 4.0 greatly expands the Longwatch family of products by providing customers with more flexible and cost-effective options essential to fast deployment of video within any SCADA or distributed control system, from local installations to the most remote and demanding locations.
With the expanded offering, industrial manufacturing, process, transportation and utility sector clients can now monitor their most extreme remote or centralized locations using existing communication networks eliminating significant installation and networking costs of traditional approaches. Longwatch’s distributed architecture combined “recording at the edge” and HMI integration to make video a new “sensed variable” for process and manufacturing operations.
The benefits delivered include faster and more effective response to plant events, better decision-making and improved leverage of manpower and assets. The Longwatch system also provides traditional security surveillance and access control capabilities to meet the growing need for safety, security and liability protection.
“The Version 4 release delivers the most-wanted capabilities for operational and security video for process control and manufacturing operations. The networking flexibility, distributed architecture, eventbased video editing and alarming – along with HMI integration raise the standard of value for these applications,” stated Steve Rubin, CEO of Longwatch.
