Real-Time Device Monitoring and Management System

1. Project Summary
This system is a centralized, web-based platform for real-time monitoring of six key enterprise devices:

• Cameras

• Network Switches

• Network Video Recorders (NVRs)

• Servers

• Client PCs

• Network Attached Storage (NAS)

• THIRD PARTY SYSTEM INTEGRATION I.E FIRE, ACCESS CONTROL, ATTENDANCE, P.A SYSTEM ,GATE MOTION SENSOR, CCTV , ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY DEVICE.

It checks the health and connectivity of devices using methods like ping, port scan, SNMP, and APIs. A live dashboard presents device status, and reporting features support audits and analysis. Logs are retained for 3 years.

2. Key Features & Modules

2.1 Real-Time Monitoring Engine

• Polls devices at 30s–5min intervals.

• Flags devices as "offline" if unresponsive.

• Supports dynamic health checks via network tools/APIs.

2.2 Dashboard Interface

• Visual indicators (Green: Online, Red: Offline).

• Category-wise summary widgets and pie charts showing live stats.

2.3 Reporting System

• Report types: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Custom.

• Filters: Device type, specific device, or location.

• Export formats: PDF, Excel, CSV.

• Includes device uptime/downtime logs.

2.4 Logging System

• Retains device logs for 3 years.

2.5 Admin Panel

• Manage devices (add/update/delete).

• Manage users and assign admin/view roles.

2.6 Authentication & Roles

• Secure login with password.

• Role-based access (Admin: full, User: view-only).

• Future support for two-factor authentication.

3. Technical Architecture

Frontend:

• Angular or React-based.

• Real-time interface with WebSocket/API.

• Mobile-responsive with interactive charts.

Backend:

• Python (Flask/FastAPI) or Node.js.

• Modules: Device polling, reporting engine, logging system, REST API.

Database:

• PostgreSQL or MySQL.

• Tables: devices, users, reports, logs.

4. User Interface Pages

• Dashboard: Summary cards, pie charts, and device status widgets.

• Reports: Filter-based views, export/download options.

• Admin Panel: Forms for device/user management, logs viewer.

• Login Page: Secure access with email/password login.

5. Sample UI Features (from mockups)

• Add device with IP/location/type.

• View per-plant device statuses.

• List last 10 events: downtime, uptime, current status.

• Report generation by plant, area, device type or IP.

• Downloadable logs and mail support for reports.

6. Future Enhancements

• Alert System: Email/SMS on device failures.

• AI Prediction: Downtime prediction using historical patterns.

• Mobile App: For real-time alerts and monitoring on the go.

7. Conclusion
This modular system ensures robust monitoring, seamless reporting, and scalable enterprise deployment. It boosts operational visibility and enables proactive maintenance by IT administrators.
