Many oil and gas companies manage miles of gas lines within their operations and have an extensive portfolio of real estate to manage. This breadth of assets can be challenging to effectively operate and secure.
Historically, oil and gas companies have dispatched a technician to check their gas lines on a daily basis, which is exceptionally expensive. Companies need a way to minimise the necessity of personnel to check on false alarms or extended motion triggers.
Saros DH-390 camera to detect intruders
The FLIR Saros DH-390 camera provides wide-area coverage, using onboard analytics to detect intrudersOil and gas operators typically manage large numbers of remote sites, under the constant threat of trespassers. There are several solutions that can help reduce risk of theft and vandalism at these sites. The FLIR Saros DH-390 camera provides wide-area coverage, using onboard analytics to detect intruders. It combines thermal and optical image sensors to give remote security operators detailed views of the site, and the event that caused an alarm, covering areas up to a quarter acre per camera.
The FLIR Elara Series includes the FC-ID thermal cameras, which also utilise onboard video analytics to detect perimeter breaches over longer ranges, up to nearly half a mile. Multiple Saros and Elara cameras can be combined with VMS solutions from FLIR or third parties to create comprehensive security solutions that enable oil and gas operators to efficiently secure their sites and receive real-time notifications of perimeter breaches.
Real-time notifications of site activity
FLIR security solutions allow oil and gas operators to receive real-time notifications of unauthorised site activity. Operators can then respond immediately, preventing losses associated with equipment downtime and damage.
These systems can also provide live views of the site at any time, allowing basic visual inspections to be carried out without having to dispatch technicians to each site, which increases operational efficiency of the organisation.
