For the past several decades, the petroleum industry has relied upon surveillance cameras to help protect and secure infrastructure like drilling rigs, pumping stations, and sea-based platforms. Since its inception, surveillance technology has come a long way, evolving to the point where so-called "intelligent" video surveillance and software can now automatically detect security violations and send out real-time alarms and alerts to security personnel when violations are spotted.

At Trinus Technologies, we have the know-how to integrate this video surveillance into your existing computer network infrastructure. Monitored video surveillance is the best intrusion detection system it basically eliminated ALL false alarms.

This means that security personnel no longer have to spend huge blocks of time staring at video monitors, freeing them to participate in more proactive security responsibilities. To be effective, intelligent surveillance systems must be able to differentiate between real threats like loitering humans and false alarms like snowstorms or grazing wildlife. Eliminating the false alarms reduces the overall cost of security and allows petroleum companies to make better use of their security resources. For example, perimeter monitoring that extends out to sea is a vital component of protecting offshore drilling platforms, but traditional surveillance systems can be fooled into thinking that incoming waves and whitecaps are threatening objects. Cutting-edge intelligent video systems, on the other hand, are capable of telling the difference between an approaching whitecap and an approaching boat.
