iCare ENVIRONMENT

The web-based IoT software platform for telecontrol and video monitoring of your systems!



IP video monitoring and telecontrol with Modbus

 



BASIC AND OPTIONAL FEATURES:

 

iCare ENVIRONMENT, the simple, versatile web IoT solution for IP telecontrol and video monitoring of your system from PC, Mac, smartphone, and tablet!

The web solution  made in Italy —a powerful, comprehensive IoT platform to telecontrol and video-monitor your systems over IP networks.
You can not only view and control on web synoptics, thanks to the PADI IP I/O interfaces, all the data coming from analog and digital sensors and operate devices located in buildings and across the site (gates, motorized barriers, emergency lighting, pumps, tanks, and more), but also manage the video streams from ONVIF IP cameras installed on the plant to be telecontrolled.
Moreover, with iCare ENVIRONMENT you can also supervise—also via the Internet—any traditional system by interfacing it with the software platform through PADI IP I/O boards.

Versatile and easy to use

iCare ENVIRONMENT is the first all-in-one software designed for remote control of systems in civil, industrial, and territorial areas (urban, suburban, rural zones, and renewable-energy plants) to natively integrate the geolocation services offered by Google Maps, for the georeferencing of resources connected to the system (sensors, actuators, and IP cameras), to locate and manage all devices connected to the system on easy-to-build thematic geographic synoptics that are accessible via the web.
The iCare ENVIRONMENT software platform is also available as a virtual machine edition.

All-in-one: managing sensors, actuators, and IP cameras in a single web platform, accessible anywhere!

iCare ENVIRONMENT simultaneously manages, on one or more web graphical synoptics, sensors, actuators, and IP cameras connected over the IP network to the platform.

Based on various configurable user access profiles and policies on the system, you can control the devices connected to the platform:

via any browser, with no need to install any control software or app.

But that’s not all! With just a few clicks from its intuitive web interface, iCare ENVIRONMENT lets you create PLC-style AND/OR logic to manage simple or complex events generated by connected analog/digital sensors and IP cameras; in addition, thanks to its flexible built-in scheduler, you can program unlimited schedules and associate one or more actions on devices connected to the PADI IP I/O interfaces managed by the platform.
 

Reliable and secure

dynamic graphical synoptic of sensors 

Thanks to its alert system, iCare ENVIRONMENT promptly informs you if malfunctions occur in the telecontrolled plant (loss of Internet connection, out-of-range sensor values, disconnected field devices and digital alarms) via email, SMS, and HTTP notifications to other software or third-party devices; in this way, you can always diagnose, in real time, the actual operation of the entire system and the devices connected to it.
Today, thanks to the dynamic chart, you can monitor in real time the last minutes of measurements from all your sensors. 
 

No CLOUD! The software and everything you need are already inside your iCare ENVIRONMENT IoT server!

no-cloud software
The software, the data received from sensors, the usage licenses, and the tools needed to program and use the system are already in the memory of the iCare ENVIRONMENT IoT server, enabling you:
  • to operate correctly even without a stable Internet connection; this means that the data, configurations, and information about the work performed by the iCare ENVIRONMENT IoT server are not at risk of loss in case of malfunctions or Internet outages, as unfortunately happens lately due to massive attacks on networks and servers by hackers;
  • to be faster and more responsive than Cloud-based IoT solutions, since all data, configurations, and information are stored locally on the IoT server, avoiding delays caused by sending and receiving data over the Internet;
  • to be more secure, since the data received from sensors are stored locally on the user’s iCare ENVIRONMENT IoT server and therefore are not “hostage” to any Internet provider or data center;
  • to be more cost-effective than Cloud-based IoT systems, as there is no need to pay a monthly or annual subscription to access the iCare ENVIRONMENT IoT server software to manage all connected sensors and systems or to view or print all the data received from the sensors

Today iCare ENVIRONMENT is smarter than ever!

IoT mathematical formulas

Thanks to advanced mathematical functions, the software platform lets you create virtual ports obtained from logical and mathematical calculations with user-customizable formulas. The variables fed into the formula can be constants, values from physical analog ports connected to sensors, and boolean values from digital ports. This way the user can, simply and intuitively, define for each virtual port created mathematical expressions such as:

where X1 and X2 are variable values coming from the sensors.

Thanks to the platform’s high computing power, you can use an unlimited number of variables in formulas; the user can simply and intuitively map each variable in the formula to the instantaneous value measured by any real sensor connected to the PADI SMARTi system.

And that’s not all! You can also enable data logging and associate alarm states on user-created virtual ports, just as you already can on ports connected to real sensors.

 

Control without borders—now also from SMART TVs!

iCare on Mac
Thanks to software engineered for native compatibility with the most widespread web standards, iCare ENVIRONMENT can not only be used on the move from Apple or Android smartphones and tablets connected to the Internet, but now also from the browser built into SMART TVs, with no need to install any software or management app.
 
 


 

Supervising and managing all Modbus devices via the web is no longer a problem!

Modbus via webiCare ENVIRONMENT supports, in master mode, one or more devices compatible with the Modbus TCP protocol.

Thanks to Modbus protocol support, you can control one or more functions of advanced devices such as fire alarm panels, intrusion systems, field RTU I/O, photovoltaic inverters, and HVAC systems from any manufacturer.

Integrating devices from different manufacturers into a single SCADA telecontrol synoptic accessible via the web is quick and simple, and can be accessed from native browsers on up-to-date PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets—and now also from SMART TVs.

Users can program operator alerts and/or automatic behaviors on all Modbus devices managed by the iCare ENVIRONMENT software platform.
