2 Introduction
Even in perfect machines, unwanted situations occur from time to time, which lead to machine downtime
and thus to loss of production. It is crucial to know what exactly have led to the downtime for avoiding the
sequence of events next time. Often, observing a working machine by a naked eye does not bring much due
to the speed of the machine. Moreover, sometimes it is impossible or even dangerous. For such cases
IMAGO has developed the VisionDevice – Industrial DashCam 1 000(VD-IDC).
The Industrial DashCam 1 000 is a surveillance and remote monitoring camera for industrial environments
in a match box form factor. The concept is similar to a dash-cam, adapted for industrial environments. In-
dustrial DashCam continuously monitors a scene without storing anything. Upon an event, which can be
defined by the user, the Industrial DashCam saves the video on to local storage media. The length of the
video as well as its span in time before and after the event can be defined by user. There are three types of
possible events: it can be a hardware trigger, absence of a heartbeat or changes in image. The Industrial
DashCam offers two digital inputs for the events. Furthermore, the Industrial DashCam is equipped with a
powerful internal LED lighting unit (S-Mount only), which is perfect for difficult lighting conditions.
This document is the manual of the Industrial DashCam. Hardware related aspects as well as the WebGUI
operation are described.
