Here’s an excerpt:

Video monitoring in the mining industry has evolved significantly in the last few decades. The changes have transformed the way mines are monitored, from equipment monitoring to ensuring the safety of personnel. As mining operations grow more complex, so do the demands on monitoring technology. The question is: how will mine video monitoring continue to evolve?

Key trends in mining video monitoring

Based on current technological advancements and industry needs, here are the primary trends expected to shape the future of video monitoring in mining.

Higher-resolution cameras for low-visibility areas

As mining operations expand over larger and more challenging terrains, the need for high-resolution cameras will become even more critical. Ultra-high-definition (UHD) cameras are set to become the standard where they are not already. These cameras provide clear, detailed images even in harsh conditions, enabling operators to zoom in on fine details without losing image quality.
