IP Camera |
ThinManager provides support for IP cameras. Our highly customizable program lets you choose the options that best fit your needs. Most IP Cameras that conform to the mjpeg (motion jpeg) are supported.
If your thin client is equipped with dual Ethernet ports, it is now possible to directly connect an IP Camera into the 2nd Ethernet port on the thin client. This greatly decreases network activity, instantly freeing up more bandwidth.
Easy Setup
Just configure the camera with an IP address to add it to your network, define it as a display server, and then deploy it as a window or as part of a group of windows.
In the figure below, we have an HMI showing an oven with an IP camera overlay. This allows for an operator to see other parts of the process line and watch for problems in two or more places at once.
Multiple Viewing Options
You have can choose a single camera display, several cameras with multiple displays, or as an overlay in an existing application. You can define your own custom layout of the camera overlays or choose from predefined layouts. ThinManager also allows you to choose whether or not you want the IP camera feeds to be tiled, or if you want to use TermSecure and hide them until an authorized user logs in.
Advantages
IP camera support gives the operator the ability to see other places in the line or factory. Use it to expand the line of vision on the production line or as a security tool to monitor every part of your facility at the same time. ThinManager's customizable IP camera support makes it easy to define and deploy a wide variety of readily available cameras.
