Explosion-Proof CCTV & Perimeter Security

Industrial CCTV is not only about image capture. For oil and gas sites, the architecture must address hazardous-area suitability, coverage, network resilience, recording, access control and the events operators need to investigate.

Engineering, interface definition, panel/package build, software/configuration where applicable, FAT, site installation support, SAT/commissioning and lifecycle support.

Camera selection — Fixed/PTZ/thermal and Ex-rated cameras are chosen according to coverage, light, process hazards and zone classification.

Network — Video bandwidth, storage retention, UPS, cybersecurity and network resilience must be sized as one system.

Installation — Camera/enclosure certification, mounting, cable glands and environmental protection must match the hazardous-area requirements.

Ex-rated camera options. Camera selection considers hazardous-area approval where applicable, field of view, lighting, lens, environmental protection and network/storage capacity.

PTZ and fixed cameras. Camera selection considers hazardous-area approval where applicable, field of view, lighting, lens, environmental protection and network/storage capacity.

Thermal imaging interfaces. The thermal imaging interfaces is selected for the equipment, operating duty and site conditions.

Perimeter intrusion. The perimeter intrusion is selected for the equipment, operating duty and site conditions.

Video management. The video management is selected for the equipment, operating duty and site conditions.

Event alarms. Alarm thresholds, priorities, delays and operator actions must be documented to avoid nuisance alarms and missed critical events.

Recording and storage. The recording and storage is selected for the equipment, operating duty and site conditions.

Control-room integration. The control-room integration is selected for the equipment, operating duty and site conditions.

Project-engineered options can include the following, where technically appropriate and approved for the installation:

Operational events: Perimeter intrusion, restricted-area monitoring and alarm interfaces may be added through approved VMS/analytics integration.

Upgrade camera coverage and Ex-rated hardware following a site survey.

Migrate VMS, recording and network infrastructure.

Add approved perimeter analytics and centralised event management.

Retrofit scope depends on existing OEM interfaces, component condition, available space, shutdown windows and the approval basis of any safety-related functions.

Relevant IEC, ISO, API, classification-society, hazardous-area or functional-safety requirements must be selected according to the specific system and installation. Where applicable, the project package may include electrical drawings, GA layouts, datasheets, I/O schedules, cause-and-effect, communication lists, inspection records, FAT/SAT procedures, calibration records and as-built documents. No unverified compliance certification is claimed here.
