Monitoring the TIMA5
I’m actually a lazy old sod and like to let things work for me remotely without having to constantly monitor their status. The TIMA5 desktop can be monitored and recorded remotely using TeamViewer, but I can only see what’s going on in the device when I actually get up and walk over to it. However, if you have to do several things at the same time, you quickly become a ball lightning in the laboratory and office coordinate system, because you can’t lose track of everything.
And things can go wrong in TIMA too. So I implemented the camera as a kind of Frankenstein mod in the TIMA. As a normal tripod doesn’t fit, I had to use a graphics card stand from my inventory (thanks MSI for the massive design!) for this purpose. And of course, cheers to the inventor of cable ties! I’m having a “real” stand built at the moment, but for now this will do just fine.
Since I don’t want to lay such a long USB 3.x cable in the office and the length is also physically limited, the computer in the TIMA5 has to help out. I simply plug the camera into the USB 3.0 port of the TIMA5 and use OBS with AMD hardware acceleration for video recording to the NAS.
I can sort and view the result on the TIMA5 desktop:
As the network connection is good enough, I can even stream the entire desktop to the PC in real time via TeamViewer. And I only have to get up when I really need to.
This remote window can also be recorded on the desktop in the office for logging purposes and I can not only see the values and progress of the tests from here, but also start and record a 4K video of the test heads at the same time. Ergo: in extreme cases, I even record two things in parallel. The network can easily manage that, and the NAS anyway.
