Option J – Image Capture

Features:

The Kingfisher Image Capture device is used to capture and send images over an existing Kingfisher RTU/SCADA communications network.

Image capture can be initiated via an RTU ladder logic command or via the Image Manager application software. A number of images may be stored within the RTU memory in JPEG format. These can be downloaded to a PC using the Image Manager application software where they can be viewed.

Images captured can be sent via your existing Kingfisher RTU/SCADA network using serial, radio, GSM, PSTN, etc.

NOTE: Camera not included (camera requires PAL/NTSC 75 ohm composite analog output).
