An unauthorised entry incident at the facility prompted the decision to deploy an automated perimeter monitoring system. The existing CCTV infrastructure recorded footage but had no intelligence layer - intrusions were only identified during retrospective review, by which time the unauthorised person was already inside the facility.
In an Oil & Gas environment, unauthorised perimeter entry carries significant safety and security consequences. An unfamiliar person in an active plant zone - near pipelines, machinery, or chemical storage - creates immediate risk for themselves and facility personnel. The gap between entry and detection was the critical problem that needed to be closed.
Problem Statement
THE CHALLENGE
Challenges
-
Intrusion undetected until after the fact
Existing CCTV recorded but could not flag unauthorised entry in real time.
-
No automated deterrent at perimeter
No mechanism existed to challenge or discourage an intruder at the point of entry.
-
Perimeter coverage gaps
Large facility perimeter could not be continuously monitored by security personnel across all shifts.
Solution
THE SOLUTION
We deployed a computer vision system across the facility perimeter camera infrastructure that continuously monitors for unauthorised person entry. The moment an intrusion is detected, an instant alert is sent to the security team and an automated speaker announcement is triggered - acting as an immediate deterrent while security responds.
Flow: Live perimeter camera feed -> Unauthorised person detected -> Security team alerted instantly -> Speaker announcement triggered -> Security responds -> Incident logged with image and timestamp
-
Existing perimeter cameras integrated with AI intrusion detection layer - no new hardware required.
-
Model trained across varied perimeter lighting conditions including low light and night scenarios.
-
Instant alert sent to the security team with location, camera ID, and image on every detection.
-
Automated speaker announcement triggered simultaneously - immediate on-site deterrent without manual intervention.
-
Every intrusion event logged with image, timestamp, and camera location for security audit records.
