CamSys Observation Camera

The CamSys unit is a weather-proofed, battery-powered observation camera which keeps a beady eye on your remote assets and can be programmed to send JPEG format pictures via email to your PC or mobile phone.

This saves you costs by reducing the need for site visits until absolutely necessary and helps you prioritise scarce staff resources on emergency call-out work.    

Applications include monitoring events at: camsys observation camera

Reservoirs
Pumping stations
Flow gauging stations
CSO pollution discharges
Waste-water treatment processes
Culvert-grille blockages

The camera is positioned in a fixed position and transmits pictures via email to your PC or mobile phone using the GSM/GPRS network.
Features and benefits include:

Low cost battery-powered camera with in-built GSM modem
Weatherproof housing for operation at remote sites
Save costs by reducing and prioritising site visits
Improve compliance by observing key events  
Option for built-in lighting for operation at night
Capture picture on demand or at pre-set intervals e.g every hour
Trigger picture by relay switch from a data logger or PIR movement sensor

Example – flood warning system to alert for maintenance of blocked grilles

culvert grille flooded due to trash buildup

A CamSys camera can be set to take a picture when flood levels rise upstream of a culvert with a history of flooding due to trash build-up

When used in combination with one of our Isodaq telemetry loggers, a CamSys camera can be set to take a picture when flood levels start to rise upstream of a culvert which has a history of causing flooding due to trash build-up.

A picture can alert you to the need for urgent maintenance and may prevent actual flooding occurring.

Isodaq HawkXT GSM telemetry data logger in bollard enclosureAn Isodaq Hawk outstation linked to a depth pressure transmitter can be installed to detect rapidly rising water level, which then triggers a picture to be taken by the CamSys unit and transmitted by email to a standby duty officer. 

The picture is used to confirm whether debris is accumulating to an extent where the flow capacity of the culvert grille is reduced to the point where urgent maintenance is required to prevent flooding. 

The images show a typical application of results in normal and flood condition and a typical Isodaq Hawk GSM outstation installed in a bollard-style housing.
