Abstract

An electric power line network video camera device for processing images and signals includes a video camera, a physical signal unit, an IA unit, a main processor, an electric power line network unit, and a control monitor. The main processor may be used to store and process images and signals from the video camera, the physical signal unit and the IA unit, and includes an I/O analogue/digital unit, and an embedded system. The I/O analogue/digital unit may be used to record information and data entering the main processor. The embedded system may be used to process and analyze the images and signals stored by the I/O analogue/digital unit.
