Longwatch Version 5.0

Longwatch Version 5.0 features the Video Historian application, which supports Wonderware’s ActiveFactory trend chart object, allowing users to automatically link plant video directly with graphical data trend charts. The Longwatch Video Engine application collects video from multiple cameras throughout the plant using standard information technology (IT), industrial networks, or wireless and cellular links. The Video Historian lets users retrieve collected video based on the context (i.e., when it was taken), such as process alarms, workflow steps, batch phases, and intruder alarms. The Longwatch Viewer interface creates a split-screen display showing real-time or archived video from one or more cameras on the bottom half of the screen, with the top half showing plant information in a variety of formats. As the user clicks and drags the chart object’s time cursor, the video moves back and forward accordingly.
