iMaster-DocuCam Landslide Monitoring System
Monitoring – Long-term. Continuous. Comprehensive.
Landslides, earthfalls, rockfalls, or similar earth movements are among the ultimate risks on our planet and can cause severe economic damages and casualties. To recognize such risks early and to take precautionary measures as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of precautionary measures, a systematic, continuous, and comprehensive monitoring is essential.
Our patented iMaster-DocuCam enables to monitor and analyze large
areas based on a long-term, comprehensive, and high
resolution visual documentation. Small and large as well as slow
and fast changes of surfaces can be detected, analyzed and
kept under surveillance easily, quickly, and cost-efficiently using
an intuitive, web-based graphical user interface (GUI). In
addition, the iMaster-DocuCam is designed for simultaneously
collecting complementary data (e.g., rain, temperature,
humidity, and/or GPS data) and for storing all relevant
information in a single database.

Technical principle
The hardware module – in the basic version equipped with a pan-tilt zoom (PTZ) camera and a Mini-PC – is positioned with view on the targeted area. Once the hardware module has been installed, all data is collected fully automatically. At predefined time intervals (e.g., every two hours), the camera generates high-resolution images of the entire target area (up to 1 cm per cell at a distance of 500 m) and the supplementary data (e.g. weather data) are recorded. The data is then transmitted via a local Wifi or LTE/3G/4G to the iMaster Toolkit, which then makes the data available to the user via a web browser.
Application
Users can access and analyze the data – regardless of time and location – via a web browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox). The easy-to-use user interface helps to analyse the data and offers the possibility to create, save and export high-resolution time lapse recordings. These time lapse recordings can include the entire area monitored by the iMaster-DocuCam as well as each sub-region in detail. In addition, individual notes can be added to specific images or time lapse recordings. The online user maual includes step-by-step instructions and animated tutorials that will help you to get started.
Hardware module
The hardware module can be adapted to the conditions on-site. The basic version of the hardware module consists of a PTZ camera and an electronics cabinet incl. mini PC and power connection.
Depending on the needs, the hardware module can be extended by a local weather station, an LTE/3G/4G connection, an antenna, a generator, or a solar panel.
