System Overview SGC NG USB: Mobile or Stationary Application
Flexible display options
Easily switch between all connected cameras via a dropdown menu within the software. This ensures full visibility at all times – even in complex installation structures.
Customized configuration
Phases, sections, and devices can be named according to your requirements, allowing the display to be precisely adapted to your installation. Different product variants can be defined and loaded directly into the camera using the Variant Manager.
Reference images for switching positions
Reference images can be stored for each relevant switching state – e.g. Open Switch, Closed Switch, or Closed Ground Switch. This enables fast, clear, and reliable comparison with live camera images.
Frozen image indicator
The software automatically detects frozen images and highlights them both within the application and directly in the live camera stream. This increases operational safety and supports reliable condition monitoring.cations
