In the open scene of port terminals that spans tens of square kilometers, traditional monitoring systems often become blind spots in areas such as the edges of storage yards and corners of berths due to limited transmission distance, severe signal attenuation, and difficulties in multi-device coordination.
For 16 years, Xuanzhan Technology has been deeply engaged in the secondary development of high-definition video. The VRS-UD350 network interface board independently developed by Xuanzhan Technology, with its three core technologies of high-performance video coding, long-distance network adaptation, and high compatibility, converts the high-definition video signals of the integrated camera module into anti-interference and geographical restricted network video signals. Through optical fiber /4G/ Ethernet, kilometer-level transmission is achieved, enabling port monitoring to truly realize “one screen to view the entire area and one network to control the overall situation”.
I. Challenges of Port Terminal Monitoring
Port terminals are complex and dynamic environments, and the monitoring system needs to confront numerous challenges:
Large-scale monitoring: Port terminals cover a vast area and have numerous areas that require monitoring, including cargo storage yards, loading and unloading areas, and ship mooring areas, etc. Traditional monitoring systems often struggle to achieve full coverage and have blind spots in monitoring.
Long-distance transmission: The distance between the monitoring center and the cameras can be very far. The traditional analog signal transmission method is prone to interference, resulting in a decline in signal quality and affecting the monitoring effect.
Intelligent management: The operation of port terminals requires efficient monitoring and management. Traditional monitoring systems have limited functions and are difficult to meet the demands of intelligent management.
Ii. VRS-UD350 Network interface Board: A Solution for Global Interconnection
The VRS-UD350 network interface board is a high-performance network interface board specially designed for industrial monitoring applications. It converts the video signal of the high-definition integrated camera module into a network signal and realizes the full interconnection of the monitoring system through intelligent network management, completely solving many problems of the traditional monitoring system.
1. High-definition video signal conversion The VRS-UD350 network interface board can convert the video signals of high-definition cameras such as SONY FCB-EV9520L and FCB-EV9500M into network video signals. Through H.265/H.264/MJPEG video compression algorithms and multi-level video quality configurations, Ensure that the signal maintains both quality and transmission rate during transmission, and can meet the monitoring requirements of different quality levels at port terminals.
2. Long-distance transmission: Through Ethernet connection, the VRS-UD350 network interface board supports long-distance signal transmission and can easily cover the vast areas of port terminals. The stability of the network signal is high and its anti-interference ability is strong, ensuring that the monitoring images remain clear and stable even after long-distance transmission.
3. All-domain Interconnection: The VRS-UD350 network interface board, in combination with a high-definition integrated camera module, can integrate all the monitoring equipment at the port and wharf into a unified network system through network connection. Surveillance personnel can remotely control each camera from the monitoring center via the network, achieving full-range and all-round monitoring without any blind spots.
4. AI Intelligent Functions: The VRS-UD350 network interface board supports the expansion of AI intelligent functions, capable of achieving person and vehicle recognition, face recognition, license plate recognition, personnel focus detection, and illegal parking detection, etc. (Optional functions), helping ports and terminals achieve more efficient and intelligent monitoring and management.
In the busy areas of the port, the person and vehicle recognition function can monitor the movements of personnel and vehicles in real time, ensuring the safety and order of key areas such as cargo loading and unloading zones and passages. Facial recognition and license plate recognition technologies have further enhanced the security of ports. By comparing with the database, the identities of people and vehicles entering and leaving the port can be quickly identified, effectively preventing unauthorized personnel and vehicles from entering. At the same time, it is convenient to manage and track the cargo transport vehicles entering and leaving the port.
Through the expansion of these AI intelligent functions, the VRS-UD350 network interface board not only enhances the intelligence level of the port terminal monitoring system, but also provides strong support for the safe operation and efficient management of the port. Port managers can more easily grasp the real-time dynamics of the port, promptly identify and handle various problems, and ensure the smooth operation of the port.
5. High compatibility The VRS-UD350 network interface board simultaneously supports the MIPI interface camera module Sony FCB-EV9500M and the LVDS interface camera module (including SONY FCB-EV9520L, FCB-EV9500L and in compliance with Sony VISCA) Other brand camera modules of the agreement, etc., provide users with flexible equipment options. Whether it is high-definition monitoring or special scene applications, it can meet different needs, achieve efficient and stable video transmission and control, and help upgrade the monitoring system of ports and docks.
Summary
The monitoring requirements of port terminals are complex and diverse, and traditional monitoring systems often fail to meet them. The VRS-UD350 network interface board, with its high-definition video signal conversion, long-distance transmission, full-domain interconnection, AI intelligent management functions, and compatibility with multiple brand camera modules, provides a set of efficient and reliable monitoring solutions for ports and docks. By choosing the VRS-UD350 network interface board, you will provide a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the port, while enhancing monitoring efficiency and management level.
