Video surveillance systems have been operated mostly as a local stand-alone solutions.
Even today, analog and digital video components are still used side by side with each other, as it is often
more economical for the extension of existing video systems to integrate existing analog equipment, rather
than replace all the video equipment in one fell swoop.
Nevertheless, only one manufacturer of digital video components is used in these hybrid video systems
usually, what first increases the dependence on these manufacturers, but also makes the communication with
other systems more difficult.
As part of the ongoing consolidation of control rooms SCADA- and video systems move closer together,
interact more with each other and are being served by the same operators increasingly.

WinCC OA VIDEO enables native integration of video management functions in an open SCADA project,
e.g. in a plant control system. This native integration allows the SCADA integrator to configure video
hardware and video software in the same manner as it is usual in the classical plant automation hardware.
This allows highly customized project-specific architectures, video features and user interfaces to be
implemented by the SCADA integrator for the customer.
Due to the open architecture of WinCC OA these individual project solutions can be maintained and
enhanced in the long term. As with the WinCC OA SCADA applications, the project-specific video
application changes can be made during system operation.

Freely scalable
Fits flexible to project requirements
Can be made redundant
Fully integrated into the SCADA environment:
VIDEO can be integrated into any application WinCC OA as simple subproject
It can be operated in parallel to the SCADA system in a common system, as well as a separate
system in the composite system as a distributed system
WinCC OA systems in the composite system can display live- or playback images in their user
interfaces
VIDEO can access all process data in the composite system, respond to its changes and allow so
an easy interaction between video and automation technology
Proprietary image source standards from the following manufacturers are supported:
BOSCH (Cameras & Encoder) Mobotix (Cameras)
Moxa (Cameras & Encoder) Sony (Cameras)
Axis (Cameras & Encoder)
Cameras and video encoders with following video compression methods are capable:
H.264
MPEG4

VIDEO provides a pure software-based recording system for recording video images,
that works with standard hardware components as a recording medium.
Functions:
Redundant recording: Image material is saved redundantly
Load Balancing: Cameras are splitted to different video recorders. In case
of failure another recorder takes over the recording. For playback
the image material is merged automatically
Ring recording including event-driven setting of an overprint lock
Event-driven recording with pre- and post-time
Recording for the time period of camera switching
Export of the recorded video streams including time information
Synchronous playback of several recordings
Recording directly on the SCADA server (for small systems)

Outputs (video_out) indicates how many video images can be displayed at the same time in one system.
It is not relevant, if the depiction is on a video widget or display monitor or if its a live image or playbak image.
If the image is displayed several times each depiction counts individually as one output
recording (video_rec) indicates how many streams, configured in the system, can be recorded. The type of recording
(Ring recording, event-driven recording or linear recording) is not relevant
Display monitor (video_wall) indicates how many display monitors can be started
Free grids for display monitors (video_freegrid) indicates how many free grids for a display server can be
configured. Royalty free are 5 grid settings: 1x1, 2x2, 2x3, 3x4 and 4x6

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure
operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are important
components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens products and
solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly that you regularly
check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should also
be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit
