Video surveillance in CitectSCADA
For enhanced safety and security
Safety and security
●Facilities often encompass large areas, multiple levels,
remote sites and complex layouts
●Workers, contractors and visitors are often surrounded by
potentially dangerous materials and situations
You require the ability to closely
monitor critical processes, high-value
equipment and production materials.

Video surveillance in SCADA
● A visual validation of the actual equipment, perimeter, zone or
site in question, helping to improve the quality of decision-making
● Takes the guesswork out of responding to process or security
incidents
● The ability to view your plant remotely
● The ability to efficiently supervise the security of your plant
and assets, as well as the safety of your personnel
● The ability to monitor
room.

security concerns
●Supplies them with more reliable tools to help supervise
people and equipment
●Helps them to determine optimal actions remotely and/or
centrally
7
Distinct advantages
●Integration of video display on operators’ SCADA
screens from camera or DVR on demand
●User friendly controls like, Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ),
Brightness and Contrast facilitate operator efficiency
8
Minimal engineering effort
●Additional features such as pop-up displays for
motion/intrusion detection and linking of events with video
functions.
●Pelco cameras’ streaming interface is designed to be
easy-to-use.
●Minimal engineering cost or effort is required.
9
On remote sites with no permanent staff
●24/7 Video Surveillance
● Linking the SCADA data to the video
● Ability to make a context-sensitive assessment of the event
● Saving time and money in deploying field staff to inconsequential or not-sourgent problems
10
Beyond security
●Flexibly manage multiple areas
●Monitor critical tools, machinery and other items as your
processes and priorities change
●Track the usage levels of particular assets
●Make more informed decisions
●Better manage your capital and operating expenditures
11
End Results (1/2)
●Site visits only for genuine security/process incidents,
resulting in optimised management of
lower travel costs and smaller carbon footprint
field staff,
●Better informed intervention, due to better
understanding of scale of problem and, therefore,
less risk to staff in potentially hazardous conditions
12
End Results (2/2)
●Richer, context-sensitive assessment, enabling
quicker response time to emergencies and lowering
disruption to operations and losses to business
●Ability to fix time, context and action of site-based
employees by comparing video with process data and
improving the ability
to track, trace and
supervise them using event analysis
13
The integration of IP cameras with SCADA creates
a new level of synergies for organisations by
complementing SCADA data with visual
information to assist operators in qualifying
security threats. This, in the hands of experienced
operators, can result in more effective decisionmaking, quicker response times and improved
analysis post-incidents."

●
Oil & Gas industry
Water & Wastewater industry
22
Remote Security - Video Surveillance
●Video security based event monitoring
● Security concerns about remote personnel access, equipment and
operations
● Remote
critical process
• Interruption in process impacts complete operations
• Water utilities, oil field processes, storage, pipelines, electrical
substations
●Conventional Solution
● Traditional SCADA systems transmit and receive standard I/O status
● Level, dosage leakage, gas flow, temperature, etc.
● Early communication limited efficient transfer of video/large files
● Leased phone lines, analog radios
23
Remote Security - Video Surveillance
●Pelco camera + CitectSCADA
● Video streaming included with other RTU-monitored parameters
●New radio performance (CAPP partner)
• Digital radios exceed 100 kbps
●Hi-resolution IP cameras (Pelco)
●Flexible SCADA software platforms (CitectSCADA)
●Video is a viable ‘input’ to be included with other RTU
parameters
24
Remote Security - Video Surveillance
●Real-Time video transmitted over high speed IP/Ethernet
based radios
●Traditional RTU I/O for display
●Video streaming
• Remotely triggered
• Locally triggered
• Motion detectors
• Access control
25
Water & Wastewater (1/2)
●For a water utility with a multitude of pump stations
dispersed across hundreds of kilometres, false alarms or
triggered alarms that are not critical would require staff to
travel personally to the remote sites to validate if the alarm
warranted immediate action.
 Want to avoid.
26
Water & Wastewater (2/2)
●When a leakage of dosing chemical at a water supply
facility is detected, video can show the scale and nature of
the problem more intuitively than just I/O data can.
●Video will help alert operators to the possible risks at the
site prior to the investigation so they can go in better
prepared.
 Want to have.
27
Improved water availability
●Operation cost benefits - case of false alarm detection
28
Improved water quality
●Security benefits - case of a chemical leak detection
29
Oil & Gas (1/2)
●If a suspicious or unscheduled entry into a remote pipeline
or a malfunction in a drilling rig or pump jack at an oil field
triggers an alarm, the operator will see an automatic
pop-up display of video of the relevant equipment,
perimeter, zone or site on their SCADA screen.
30
Oil & Gas (2/2)
●The operator can make a context-sensitive
assessment of the event by linking the SCADA data to
the video he sees.
●Live video can confirm what the alarm indicates or show it
to be a false alarm, saving time and money in deploying
field staff to what could in fact be only an inconsequential
problem.
31
Onshore Oil Field
● Pelco camera offer
● With CitectSCADA
● CAPP Partner Radio
● Remote visualisation would allow
personnel at the central control station
to watch an actual procedure as it
takes place.
● If a maintenance crew member’s safety is at
risk, an immediate alert could be sent.
● Ethernet makes communication nearly
instantaneous, helping reduce the risk of
injury.
● e.g. Identify oil leaks that present
environmental hazards or even detect
trespassers.
32

●Intuitive set of ‘eyes on site’ for the operator
●Security monitoring functions for industries such as Mining,
Water & Wastewater and Oil & Gas.
●One simple yet highly effective option
● Optimised management of field staff
● Less risk to staff in potentially hazardous conditions
● Quicker response and reduced disruption to operations
