CCTV

With a well designed CCTV system you will have complete view of all areas and processes on a site. On petroleum related installations like ships, plants and refineries visual surveillance is particularly important to maintain a high level of security and efficiency.

A virtually unlimited number of cameras may be connected to the CCTV system to cover the area you want to monitor. Video images can be distributed from the cameras to one or more control stations installed locally or remotely. Each control station may be set up with predefined rights to control camera stations and view and record video images. The control stations may be ranked so that one station overrules the other.

Digital Video Recorders will provide recordings in compliance with set quality and performance requirements.

EX - Explosion Proof Equipment

HERNIS is the market leader on CCTV equipment certified for use in hazardous areas – so called EX equipment. We can offer a full range of products purpose built to operate in potentially ignitable atmospheres, for instance exposed to gas or in risk of gas leakage. Our Ex products are designed so that no electrical part can cause ignition of the surrounding atmosphere.

For the camera stations this is solved by making the enclosures itself explosion proof according to Exd standard. For our monitors Exp enclosures combined with an EX Purge Controller makes sure that the enclosures maintain overpressure to avoid gas to enter the enclosures.

Within the HERNIS EX product range is also the new Reference torch series. These products are designed based on a technology that can transfer electronic power through a galvanic isolation and made explosion proof according to the Exi standard. This has made it chargeable within the hazardous area itself, a revolution on petroleum related installations.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging systems sense the energy of all objects as infrared light, and translate this to shades of colour that we can see on our monitor. Thermal cameras are typically used in low-light and no-light environments, like engine rooms, pump and compressor rooms. In the case of man overboard incidents in the dark the technology can mean the difference between life and death. Thermal Imaging systems also provide details in daylight images that would otherwise be difficult to detect.
