The invention relates to an inspection system for an unattended substation, which comprises a substation on-site video camera, a video processing server, an infrared imaging instrument, an oil chromatography on-line monitor, a switch cabinet temperature sensor, an arrester on-line monitor, a SF6 gas micro-water density on-line monitor, an air quality sensor, a direct current on-line monitor, a protection information remote transmitter, an auxiliary device remote opener, a database server and a WEB server, wherein all the parts of the system are connected together through an electric MIS (management information system) network. By utilizing the intelligent inspection software, an integrated substation equipment monitoring system is formed by the video, the various sensors and the related circuit. The system provided by the invention has the advantages that the on-line monitoring data of equipment, the protection information and the images under the normal running state of the equipment are simultaneously automatically tracked and displayed when a person on duty monitors the appearance of equipment.
