一、Project Background

The communication interface of the field instrument (electromagnetic water meter flowmeter) is occupied and cannot be collected remotely. However, the LCD screen can display the value normally.

二、Project Requirements

A project of a company in Xinjiang has two meters that need to take pictures at regular intervals. On the mobile phone, the app can also trigger the photo taking by manually issuing commands and upload the pictures to its own FTP server. The site can be connected to an external 220V power supply, and the data can be uploaded to the public network.

2. Technical Solution

Since this project can be powered externally and connected to the public network, the overall solution uses the 800W pixel 4G timer-triggered camera provided by our company , and is equipped with the 4G trigger-type smart gateway of Digital IoT . The principle is: through a relay signal of the 4G smart gateway, the trigger line of the camera is connected to realize the manual command of the APP to take pictures. In addition, the gateway can set the acquisition frequency to realize the automatic photo taking function.

3. Implementation Process

1. Our company will debug the gateway and camera before delivery, and confirm the automatic upload and manual upload functions. After successful debugging, it will be sent to the customer.

2. After receiving the equipment, the customer should contact our staff to debug and configure the camera parameters and confirm the shooting angle and storage location. The bracket for fixing the camera needs to be ordered or customized according to the on-site environment.

3. After the installation is completed, cooperate with our staff to remotely debug the trigger photo function and the timed photo function. If both can run normally, the project is completed.
