AE Gibson & Sons Engineering Industrial Monitoring Cameras
Video monitoring is a valuable tool for sawmill safety. It can help identify hazards before they become serious problems, and it can also be used to investigate accidents after they occur.
Many sawmills have some form of video monitoring in place to watch for potential problems. It may be through a live feed that someone is watching in real-time, via recorded footage that is reviewed later, or a combination of live and recorded video.
For all these reasons, sawmills should make sure that their video monitoring systems are up to date, working properly, and can withstand the harsh sawmill environment.

Industrial Monitoring Cameras
Install Video Equipment Built for Sawmills
Sawmills are unique environments, with a lot of noise, vibration, and debris. Off-the-shelf cameras from retail stores, or even those made for other industrial applications, don’t survive in sawmills. When sawmills use standard equipment, it isn’t reliable and has to be replaced frequently.
At AE Gibson, our Opticom video monitoring equipment is designed specifically for the sawmill environment. They have been tested and are proven to perform and outlast other systems.
In addition to an industrial, vibration-resistant camera, sawmills should use mounts that are designs for high-vibration environments. The Opticom VM-1 Vibration/Shock Mount further protects the rugged CC02 camera from vibration.
Improve Safety With Remote Video Monitoring
We all know how dangerous a sawmill can be. Remote video monitoring lets supervisors and operators keep an eye on the line without being in dangerous proximity to logs and debris. By installing rugged video cameras and connecting the footage to a central monitoring area, operators can observe from a safe distance. They’re close enough to troubleshoot issues but far enough away to keep safety a top priority.
Just like the cameras, the monitors in a sawmill’s video system need to be able to withstand the hard environment. We offer sawmill CCTV monitors in a variety of sizes, definitions, and connectivity options. We also offer the MVM-LCD-1 Vibration Mount that helps extend the life of video monitors inside sawmills. With safety being a high priority, a video system with remote monitoring capabilities is a great way to keep operators far from danger.
Store Video Footage to Troubleshoot Issues
In addition to remote monitoring, sawmills can record and store video footage. By watching footage of the sawmill process, operators can identify potential problems and make corrections before they cause damage or downtime. In addition, video footage can be used to track production rates and identify areas where improvements can be made. By constantly monitoring the sawmill process, operators can ensure that the mill is running smoothly and efficiently.
We offer sawmill video recorders from 4 to 64 channels and with recording via DVR, NVR, and/or POE.
