Installation of video surveillance systems for the elevator

Organization of video surveillance for the elevator has its own nuances. It can be conventionally attributed to three types, which depend on the functions and capabilities:

  • for protection;
  • to control the process;
  • for the accounting.

Type of video surveillance, depending on the specificity and functionality of buildings

The grain storage elevator is a special enterprise that is designed to store grain in large quantities and bring products to a state of condition. This is a whole complex of buildings, among which may be operation facilities, equipment for unloading / loading of products, silos, grain dryers, car weight, railway weight, room for laboratory research. Depending on the specifics of the structure and its functionality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate video surveillance.

Quite large objects have separate access of personnel to different objects and to the video surveillance system. So, video surveillance has its own units and the relevant personnel have access to them. For example, access to the technological unit is provided by the operation personnel, to the security unit – by the enterprise security service, to the accounting unit – by the logistics and financial sector personnel, etc.

For the construction of a grain storage, it is worth considering an important point: to provide for the installation of an optical four-core cable (minimum requirements) for the information network with channel separation in a physical way. It is recommended to physically separate the video surveillance, accounting, access and control system at the site. So you get a reliable, independent system with the guarantee of uninterrupted operation.

Video surveillance for the protection of the elevator

Any video surveillance system has its own characteristics. Security video surveillance on elevators is no exception. Here it is important to take into account the vast territory, which is important to properly and completely cover. The main goals pursued by such a system:

  • control of movement on the object and
  • safety of technical and resource parts.

Process Video Surveillance

For the storage of grain, it is necessary to properly organize the process control system in order to monitor the processing of products, sensor readings, and weight measurement systems. Modern video surveillance systems allow you to synchronize the parameters of sensors and measuring devices with video frames. Employees of the operation receive a full-fledged picture of at what stage of the production process. So one has time to analyze and make adjustments in real time, if this is required by the situation.

Video surveillance for accounting system

For accounting on the object it is important to record all moves of material values at the elevator, the design of the relevant documents. If security surveillance monitors the movement of the object, the accounting – controls the movement of inventory, the correctness of documentation, data from measurements of weight. The main goal is to synchronize the work of scales, video surveillance and accounting software. The main task of such video surveillance is to provide a comprehensive control of accounting operations at the elevator with minimal time costs for their analysis.

For the video surveillance system in the weight room, at least three cameras will be required, which will monitor the position of the vehicle on the measuring instruments and monitor the operator. Also, an additional camera is often installed for viewing the body to visually monitor the load.

Electronic scales for car weighing

In order to achieve effective operation of the video surveillance system, it is necessary to ensure the possibility of synchronizing it with truck scales. Most often, this requires the RS-232 port on the scales. If there is no such port, then it is worth considering the possibility of replacing. Information from the scales is transmitted to the existing accounting system and to the video surveillance system.

There are video surveillance systems that images wait along with the measurement data in the accounting system. In fact, it is more efficient to transfer data about documentation, weight, product range to the accounting system. So you can get a full picture of the ongoing processes. Video surveillance will help you to further assess what was before the weighing, directly during it and after. By document numbers, you can find the corresponding role and copy it to external media if necessary. You can download the entire video archive.
