SGC Analog
Flexible and robust: Analog cameras for stationary and mobile applications
The SGC Analog is a proven camera solution for visual monitoring of switchgear in power distribution networks. It provides a clear view of disconnect and grounding switch positions, thereby supporting safe and reliable operation.
Our analog cameras are specifically designed for use in medium- and high-voltage installations, including gas-insulated and air-insulated switchgear, hybrid switchgear, generators, and GCBs. Thanks to their robust design and IP65 protection rating, they are ideally suited for demanding environments.
SGC Analog stands for analog precision and robust engineering, delivering clear visibility wherever reliability is essential.

Analog solution systems
Analog portable solution
The Portable Video Unit (PVU) enables flexible, off‑grid monitoring of switchgear installations. Up to three cameras can be connected simultaneously to clearly display the switching positions of each phase. The PVU features a large, high‑resolution monitor that allows precise visual inspection. Thanks to battery operation, the solution is ideal for mobile use and temporary monitoring applications—robust, compact, and ready for immediate operation.
Benefits:
- Independent, off‑grid operation (up to 5 hours)
- Connection of up to three cameras
- Easy switching between phases
- Ideal for maintenance and temporary inspections
Analog static solution
The static solution is designed for permanent operation in switchgear installations. The cameras are permanently mounted at the viewports of GIS or hybrid switchgear and connected to the PVU via an integrated interface. This setup provides continuous visual monitoring of switching positions and is ideally suited for installations that require permanent supervision.
Benefits:
- Permanent installation for continuous monitoring
- Robust connection via integrated feedthrough connectors
- Ideal for safety‑critical environments
- Compatible with all common viewports
