Top Systems To Stay Safe On Off Shore Platforms | CCTV Security Cameras

The safety and security of offshore oil and gas platforms has improved hugely following disasters such as Deepwater Horizon.

The protection of personnel, of expensive equipment and of production processes is essential in such valuable and remote installations. Given the remote locations and nature of these installations, they are unfortunately prime targets for vandalism, theft, trespassing or terrorist attack.

CCTV Camera Security Surveillance Benefits

CCTV has a wide range of uses onboard. From workplace safety, to machine monitoring and anti-piracy deterrents. Video surveillance helps intercept risks, suspicious events, theft, malfunctions and accidents in a timely manner.  Security Video Technology has over 20 years experience in serving the offshore drilling industries.

Pumps and control rooms can be monitored with state-of-the-art video surveillance as a ‘virtual eye’, especially in environments unfit for humans – places with toxic fumes, gas, or high temperatures.

Most other areas can be supervised with marine cameras housed in robust and durable casings. These casings protect from environmental corrosion, UV damage, water, humidity and even bullets.

Explosion-proof cameras ensure that surveillance in hazardous environments can continue seamlessly and safely. These cameras ensure that any sparks originating within their housings are contained, and that the outside temperature of the device is kept within certain parameters.

Reliability and quality of the CCTV system are essential criteria. Likewise, long-term support with available upgrades.
