I don't see any reason for a custom implementation when there are several off-the-shelf solutions. Video surveillance has been
around for years (ever since VHS) and has increased ten-fold lately due to new technology and... national security. Just Google-it,
here is one link I found:

Since image analysis is out of the equation, the application falls into a different realm more suited to a security systems
solution.

Ordinarily, yes. But there is a need to connect the video images to the data. That is, LabVIEW has to be able to access the video data frame-by-frame for each part when the user views the data of a given part in off-line mode. It's not at all clear to me that these systems have hooks which would let me pull out individual frames depending on the part loaded (even though a part's data is related to a specific date/time).
