System Overview SGC NG USB: Mobile Use or stationary Use
• Flexible display options
Easily switch between all connected cameras using a drop‑down menu within the software. This ensures a clear overview at all times, even in complex system configurations.
• Customizable settings
Name phases, sections, and devices according to your requirements and tailor the display precisely to your installation. Different product variants can be defined and loaded directly into the camera via the variant manager.
• Reference images for switching positions
Reference images can be assigned to each relevant switching state, such as Open Switch, Closed Switch, or Closed Ground Switch. This allows current camera images to be compared quickly, clearly, and reliably.
• Frozen image indicator
The software automatically detects frozen images and marks them both within the application and directly in the camera stream. This enhances operational safety and supports reliable condition monitoring.
