MLWebcam

Live Visual Monitoring System

The Canary Systems® MLWebcam integrates the full features of a network camera into a turnkey station for state-of-the-art video monitoring. This unit is specifically designed with geotechnical and structural monitoring applications in mind, but can be used for any project where live video monitoring is needed.

The included network camera offers high resolution 1080p video with an impressive 360x combined optical and digital zoom, as well as 360° endless pan and 110° tilt (+20 to -90°). The AXIS Q6155-E also features Axis’ Zipstream technology, which significantly lowers bandwidth and storage requirements while preserving high-quality images to an SD card.

System Details

MLWebcam is designed to be a system that fully utilizes customization to suit a site’s individual requirements. MLWebcam stations feature an Axis Q6155-E PTC Network Camera with a Campbell Scientific CR300 datalogger for monitoring battery voltage and internal temperature. A charging regulator, solid state relay, POE (power over ethernet) injector, 12V lead-acid battery charger, and SGX 5150 or Raven RV50 for wireless or cellular communications are also included.

The camera housing is IP66 and NEMA 4X rated to withstand extreme conditions, with arctic temperature control allowing start-up in temperatures as low as -40 °C (-40 °F) and features such as the speed dry function, which allows the camera to shake off water droplets for a clear image even in rainy weather.

Implementation can be set up utilizing a variety of security features. Network security options range from password protection to IP address filtering, user access logs, HTTPS encryption and more.

Control with MLWeb®

A view for the MLWebcam feed is set up within MLWeb®, for easy viewing online alongside your data. User access roles give sites the ability to customize who can access camera controls while still allowing multiple users to view the camera feed. Users with control access can move the camera to focus on a different area, zoom as well as edit the video feed encoding, set up an overlay, initiate recording, and more.

Trigger events and actions can be set up for the camera to initiate recording after events such as motion or shock detection, or for simple triggers such as a scheduled time or whenever the live stream is accessed. Actions can then be set up to record video during alarm events and send email notifications. The video feed can be recorded to an SD card for later review.

Multiple Streams

Several users can access a video stream simultaneously

Secure User Access

Various security options including user access levels and access logs

Event Triggers and Actions

Utilize camera triggers to begin recording after certain events or on a schedule
