Abstract: The present description provides a novel Ethernet/IP process or network based video event recording system, which is to be embedded into any production line (conveyor belt), providing a continuous high speed loop recording with a specially designed video recording and viewing software, synchronized with the factory precision time protocol server (IEEE 1588 server), and able to store and retrieve files on or from a remote server. A web based management interface is provided for remote control, as well as to retrieve and view the recorded images and videos. The video recording system is designed to be connected to the factory network and to work seamlessly with the standard factory timing protocols and standards, as well as the standard factory programmable logic controllers.
