Pelco VideoXpert

The level of safety of systems depends, among other things, on knowledge of their actual and not just assumed state. There are many ways to ensure this. The IPLOG PLC as a monitoring unit is one of them. PLCs support a wide range of communication protocols, which facilitates integration with VMS (Video Management Software) from different manufacturers. See for example the field-tested solutions with Pelco VideoXpert VMS.

What are the main advantages of our solution?

High level of security - we monitor network elements using the standardized SNMPv3 protocol. The AES algorithm protects data from eavesdropping and SHA-1 from unauthorized changes during transmission.

‌

No additional licensing required for VMS - we use a standard ASCII plug-in supplied free of charge by the VMS manufacturer, Pelco, to transmit status information. The setup of the plug-in is well documented and requires no special skills.

‌

Technical support - we have the entire system available at our headquarters for teaching and training purposes. Our technical support can therefore advise you on commissioning your system to a high professional standard.

Examples of information transmitted via SNMP to IPLOG

  • User authentication by IEEE802.1X protocol
  • Supply voltage
  • Battery backup voltage
  • Working temperature
  • State of the tamper
  • Status of network connections
  • Data flow
  • Sabotage (covering) of the camera

‌

IPLOG processes the information received by the SNMP protocol according to the set program. If it evaluates any information as critical or important, it forwards it to the VMS. Thus, the operator receives only information that requires a specific response and is not distracted by large amounts of irrelevant information.

‌

Example of information forwarded to the VMS

  • Failed IEEE802.1X user authentication
  • The supply voltage is outside the permissible range
  • Battery backup voltage is low
  • Operating temperature is outside the permissible range
  • There's been a tampering
  • The network connection has been severed
  • The allowed bitrate has been exceeded
  • IP camera is covered
