Product Details

Product Details

  • Product Type: Visual photoelectric deflection meter (optical, non-contact)

  • Measurement Output: 2D deformation monitoring (vertical deflection + horizontal displacement)

  • Multi-Target Monitoring: Measures multiple passive targets within the same scene (no lens change required for multi-target within the supported range)

  • Outdoor Ready: Water/dust protection with IP65-level design (IP65 requires an additional protective cover)

Product Overview

HP-VPD2 captures image data using a high-resolution imaging sensor and processes displacement through optical methods (including sub-pixel techniques). By monitoring passive targets from a distance, it avoids physical contact with structures, improving safety and reducing the risk of altering real structural behavior during measurement. The system can be configured to trigger linked photo capture when a threshold is reached, enabling event-based documentation.

Typical Applications

  • Bridge deflection and displacement monitoring (static or long-term observation)

  • Building/roof beam deformation tracking

  • Industrial structure monitoring (steel frames, platforms, racks)

  • Construction site deformation observation (temporary supports, beams, formwork)

  • Remote outdoor monitoring points where cabling is difficult (solar/battery deployments)

  • Event-based monitoring where threshold alarms require visual evidence (auto photo capture)

FAQ

Q1: What is HP-VPD2 used for?
A: It is used for long-range, non-contact monitoring of deflection and 2D displacement (vertical + horizontal) on structures like bridges, beams, and buildings.

Q2: Can it measure multiple points at the same time?
A: Yes. It supports multi-target scanning and multi-point sampling, with different maximum sampling rates depending on the number of points.

Q3: Does it require physical sensors attached to the structure?
A: No. HP-VPD2 is non-contact and uses optical image data to compute displacement, reducing installation risks and interference.

Q4: How does it work in remote outdoor locations?
A: It supports AC power, DC 8–36V, and optional lithium battery + 100W solar for continuous unattended monitoring. It also supports Ethernet/4G/Wi-Fi and offline operation.

Q5: Can it automatically record events when deformation exceeds a limit?
A: Yes. You can set a threshold to trigger linked photo capture for event documentation.

Q6: Is the device waterproof?
A: With the proper protective cover installed, it can reach IP65 protection for outdoor environments.
