Early threat detection

This leader in the oil and gas industry integrated Pelco’s Silent Sentinel Jaegar cameras into its FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit) to provide early threat detection.

Long-range visibility

The Jaegar cameras offer clear video, even at night, enabling operators to see vessels, objects and activities at long distances.

Early threat detection

The clear video, combined with the radar and AIS systems, enables the FPSO to assess and respond quickly to threats.

Marine-grade cameras

The Jaegar camera’s ruggedized housing is tested to an IP67 standard, protecting against dust and water ingress and corrosion.

Minimal infrastructure

With its long-range views, fewer cameras are required to provide the coverage the FPSO needs, helping lower investment costs.

Threat detection and long-range visibility

Read how a leader in the oil and gas industry implemented Pelco’s Silent Sentinel cameras to deliver a high-performance, automated early threat detection security system.

Challenge: Hostile threats

The customer required a marine environment-ready early detection system for its FPSO located off the coast of Africa, an area prone to hostile maritime threats, including attacks, security breaches and extreme weather.

These hazards, along with the risk of collisions, can endanger personnel, damage equipment and disrupt operations. Therefore, to detect threats quickly and accurately, the company decided to automate its early warning systems, also helping mitigate risk of potential human error.

Solution: Robust oil and gas security

The company deployed an early threat detection system comprising Jaegar cameras, radar, AIS and command and control software.

  • Improved security and operations

    The integration of Pelco’s Silent Sentinel Jaegar cameras into the FPSO’s security system is enhancing security, situational awareness and operational efficiency.

  • An early threat detection system

    The FPSO can now quickly detect and assess any potential threats around its offshore operation, as an early warning for emergency response.

  • Reliable video security

    The Jaegar cameras are built to withstand harsh marine conditions, providing significant benefits, including reduced downtime and minimal maintenance.

Result: A safer, more secure FPSO

The oil and gas customer has been so impressed with the benefits of integrating Pelco’s Silent Sentinel camera platform for long-range video security capabilities into its security systems that it plans to roll out this technology to further FPSOs soon.
