Abstract: Traditional camera maintenance methods rely on periodic manual inspections, which are time
consuming, costly, and inherently limited in that they only allow problems to be detected and addressed after
they occur. In large-scale industrial sites operating hundreds of cameras, such methods frequently lead to
human errors and delays in response, resulting in decreased safety and productivity. This study proposes an
automated and intelligent predictive maintenance system by integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-based video
analysis technology with industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems to overcome these limitations. The proposed
system collects highresolution video data in real-time and operates through a series of processes including image
preprocessing, feature extraction, anomaly detection, severity classification, and maintenance alert transmission.
Utilizing CNN-based deep learning algorithms and OpenCV image processing techniques, the system can
automatically detect issues such as lens contamination, focus blur, and image degradation. When anomalies are
identified, they are immediately classified, and alerts are sent in real-time via a cloudbased notification system.
Additionally, maintenance history is automatically logged and analyzed in a database, supporting the development
of long-term asset management strategies. Experimental results in real industrial environments demonstrate that
the proposed system improves detection accuracy by over 90–95% compared to manual inspection methods,
reduces alert response time to within seconds, and lowers maintenance time and costs by more than 70% and
40%, respectively. This research validates the practical effectiveness of automated and predictive maintenance
in camera systems as a core technology for smart factory implementation and is expected to contribute to the
development of more scalable maintenance frameworks through integration of multi-sensor data and further
advancements in predictive algorithms. Index Terms—Predictive Maintenance, Industrial IoT (IIoT), Automated
