Applications

Pipeline Monitoring
For long-distance pipelines, our continuous monitoring solution detects vibrations, intrusions, sabotage, and construction interference, helping O&M teams quickly locate risks and reduce manual inspections.

Refineries
It enables tiered protection for the plant perimeter, production unit areas, entry and exit points, storage zones, and critical equipment areas, facilitating real-time alerts, rapid verification, and centralized management, thereby enhancing the refinery's overall security level.

Tank farms
For high-security sites, our low-false-alarm perimeter protection safeguards oil tanks, loading zones, pump houses, and fence lines, detecting climbing, vaulting, or hazardous-area approaches to prevent intrusions and safety incidents.

Offshore Platforms
For offshore platforms, our weather-, corrosion-, and interference-resistant perimeter detection protects key areas, with remote monitoring to detect unauthorized approaches, boarding attempts, or hazardous-zone intrusions.

Distribution Stations
Distribution stations are usually located at key nodes of oil and gas transportation networks. Although the site area may be smaller than refineries or tank farms, they often contain important valves, meters, control systems, and power equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe in explosive environments?
Absolutely. Our systems are specifically engineered for hazardous zones. We offer intrinsically safe and explosion-proof certified hardware that prevents any electrical sparks or thermal effects that could ignite volatile gases or dust. This ensures the highest level of safety compliance with international oil and gas industry standards
How long distance can it cover?
- Fiber Optic Intrusion Sensing: Ideal for long-distance pipelines and large perimeters; up to 50 km per controller with meter-level accuracy.
- DTS Fiber: For fire and leak detection; up to 16 km per channel with real-time temperature monitoring.
- Laser Beam Sensors: Line-of-sight detection; 200–500 m per pair, ideal for targeted zones.
- Pulse Electric Fences: Deterrence + detection; typically 100–200 m per zone.
By integrating these systems, we deliver seamless, multi-layered protection across hundreds of kilometers and multiple sites.
Can it integrate with existing systems?
Yes, high compatibility is a core feature. Our security system supports standard network protocols and can be integrated into your existing VMS (Video Management System), or CCTV architecture. Upon an intrusion, it can automatically trigger PTZ cameras to zoom in on the specific zone, send real-time alerts to your control center, and activate localized sound or light alarms.
