Background


Hight sights is a company providing SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) services in Florida. One of the primary uses of SCADA is in water control.
Their controlling SCADA system relies on accurate water levels because it calculates and records all flows over the weirs, and some sites even automatically open gates based on these levels.  Water-level sensing equipment, such as pressure transducers, reports the levels to the SCADA "brains".
These transducers can drift slightly over time and need recalibration to show the exact levels at the site. They observe staff gauges to get the readings and correct the water level data from the transducers in SCADA.
The problem is that they are usually far away from their customers. They need something to help them observe and calibrate from a distance, which means they need a bunch of reliable PTZ cameras.

Challenge


As shown in the video above, the sites they monitor are unpopulated land, meaning it is hard to get an ethernet connection, let alone WiFi. Also, hiring a professional electrician to connect those PTZs to grid power can be costly.
Without electricity and internet connection, what cameras can operate? 
Luckily, they found us. LINOVISION, the savior.
