[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, a monitoring method, using the above-mentioned port visibility monitoring system, includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S1: The transmitter 72 emits a detection light, which is transmitted through the light-transmitting plate 3 to the receiver 71. The receiver 71 analyzes and calculates the received detection light to obtain the transmittance of the light-transmitting plate 3.

[0067] Step S2: When the light transmittance of the light-transmitting plate 3 is less than 90%, the light-transmitting plate 3 is lowered by the lifting assembly 2, and the exhaust assembly exhausts the moist air in the monitoring front window 1 to achieve exhaust ventilation of the monitoring front window 1.
