Abstract (English):
A new $\alpha$ UMi monitoring system based on an IP camera with a CMOS photodetector has been developed and installed at the Upper Scientific Site of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS). The main aim of the development is to measure the astronomical seeing and monitor its variation. Here we briefly describe the method of differential image motion monitoring (DIMM) used as the device operational principle and give some details on the characteristics and operation of the monitoring system developed.
