CCTV system
CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed, but are monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Systems are an essential system used in plants as part of the Safety, Surveillance & Security Systems.
They are used to monitor abnormality in the operation and process areas and also intrusion along the fence parameters.
Based on the operational requirements & environmental conditions, appropriate cameras like indoor, weatherproof, ex-proof, fixed, or pan-tilt-zoom types can be selected.
Alarm / Siren system
The general alarm/ siren system is the most effective method to warn the workers at large in the shortest amount of time. The sirens can be activated individually, but in most cases they are activated simultaneously for a plant-wide emergency.
This system is primarily used to warn of emergencies such as hazardous chemical spills, fires or natural disasters which require workers to evacuate.
Alarms can be set to trigger to specific areas having different priority settings to address several emergency scenarios such as Fire & Gas, Evacuation, Return to Normal (All Clear), Etc.
Fence Intrusion Detection Systems (FIDS)
Fence Intrusion Detection Systems (FIDS) as its name is stated is a system deployed in a facility to monitor and detect any form of intrusion from the perimeter into the protected premises.
There are many types of FIDS systems, each type using different technology for detection, such as vibration or movement.
FIDS are a part of a security system, which is on occasion made up of a few systems complementing one another to do the job. An example of these systems includes CCTV & lighting systems.
Access Control Systems (ACS)
Access Control Systems are an integral part of any security system that monitors, protects & manages the authorized access of employees & workers in a building or facility.
Access Control Systems also come with multiple functionalities & are utilized not just for personnel access in and around the building.
They are also linked to Fire Protection Systems. Most Access Control Systems implemented today are IP-based & are connected to the building’s Local Area Network thus reducing cabling cost.
