I. Requirements Analysis

Currently, real-time monitoring is required for various factors affecting transmission line operations, including line patrols, external damage prevention, overgrown trees, and construction site tower cranes. There is a significant demand for systems equipped with front-end AI processors to identify mechanical vehicles, external damage, wildfires, and suspended foreign objects, while promptly capturing photos and videos to alert monitoring centers for timely handling of anomalies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cost-effective, large-scale deployable online image monitoring device for transmission lines that meets the above requirements. This solution should replace manual line inspections and enable visual monitoring of transmission lines.

II. Working Principle

The online image monitoring device for transmission lines primarily employs visual monitoring, comprising a main control unit, image monitoring unit, communication unit, power supply unit, mounting bracket, and auxiliary materials. Powered by solar energy and lithium batteries, it employs AI processors and high-definition cameras to monitor channel conditions. Image data is transmitted to the monitoring center via 4G/5G/WiFi wireless networks. The monitoring platform decodes, processes, analyzes, diagnoses, and displays the image signals, enabling visual monitoring of transmission corridors and ensuring stable line operation.
