IIoT

The new version 7.0 of 10-Strike Network Monitor Pro – the server and network equipment monitoring program has so many new features that we don’t even know what exactly to focus on in this post. Speaking about the release as a whole, we focused it on the Internet of Things by adding two new Modbus and MQTT checks for the industrial monitoring. And we significantly improved the monitoring of video surveillance systems by adding the ability to view images from cameras, check the frame rate, and image resolution. We also made it so that you can set up monitoring of a large number of video cameras in just 3-4 clicks.

We also worked on the MySQL database monitoring. We added several templates with which you can quickly set up for monitoring key performance metrics.

We added a new type of notification – sending an SNMP trap. We made it possible to execute arbitrary scripts in VB and JS in monitoring the traps themselves (and for syslog as well).

Let’s review the new features in details: CCTV image displaying, IIoT (Modbus and MQTT) monitoring, user access to maps, and MySQL monitoring.

Video Surveillance System Monitoring and Displaying Images

The program has got a very useful function – displaying images from video surveillance cameras. It does not matter what manufacturer the cameras are, whether they are analog or digital, whether they are connected to a video recorder or directly connected to the network – you will see the image from them on a single panel. The main thing is that the camera or its channel in the video recorder (DVR or NVR) is available via the RTSP protocol. It is impossible to underestimate the importance of background CCTV camera monitoring, but sometimes it is not superfluous to look at the image from the camera with your own eyes and understand whether it is working or not. To do this, you only need to select the video cameras item in the monitoring list (tree) and open the new Cameras tab. And images from the cameras will all be displayed in front of you!
