The list of security threats and vulnerabilities facing the mining, oil and gas industry is long and growing. From security breaches, plant shutdowns, gas and pipeline leaks to the threat of cyber security attacks, the sector requires best practices and solutions to mitigate these risks.
The sector is turning to Axis Communications' thermal imaging technology not only for their high-quality anti-hacking IP cameras, but also for their ability to help predict and prevent damage, failure, fire or other hazards.
Thermal cameras capture images based solely on the heat radiating from people and objects. This means they are able to see a clear outline of a potential threat, no matter how poor the visibility. When combined with analytics technology, thermal cameras can examine a potential threat that has been detected, automatically dismiss non-threatening ones, and immediately notify security of potentially critical situations.
Axis thermal cameras with temperature alarm
Regardless of weather and light conditions, thermal cameras with temperature alarms are able to detect and predict failures, since they can indicate a number of problem areas before the issue becomes visible to the eye or before machinery stops working.
Axis thermal cameras with temperature alarm detect the temperature of an object and sends an alarm when the temperature reaches above or below a preconfigured threshold or if the temperature increases or decreases too rapidly. Unlike ordinary temperature sensors that only measure at one specific point, Axis temperature alarm cameras can be used for remotely monitored surveillance, giving visual confirmation of events at the monitored site.
Predict failures quicker
Isothermal palettes are used to highlight specific temperatures as a visual aid for an operator; in the event of a temperature alarm, the operator will rapidly be able to see whether the alarm is false, since the isothermal image will show whether it was the critical object or something else that triggered the alarm.
