Introduction
Gas stations operate around the clock, handle cash transactions, store flammable materials, and attract high vehicle traffic. A robust CCTV system deters fuel theft, monitors transactions, protects staff, and provides evidence for disputes and insurance claims.
Camera Placement
Install cameras covering every fuel pump (capturing licence plates and driver activity), the convenience store interior and cash register, the entrance and exit lanes, the storage tank area, and the cashier booth. Ensure no blind spots across the forecourt.
Night Vision Requirements
Gas stations are lit but have uneven lighting zones. ColorVu cameras handle the mix of bright canopy lights and dark perimeter areas. Licence plate cameras need IR illumination to cut through headlight glare and capture clear plate images at night.
Explosion Safety
Cameras near fuel storage tanks must be rated for hazardous environments. Hikvision’s ATEX-certified explosion-proof cameras ensure safe operation in zones where flammable vapours may be present.
Integration with POS
Linking cameras to the point-of-sale system overlays transaction data on video footage. If a customer disputes a fuel purchase, you can instantly locate the exact recording showing the transaction, pump, and vehicle involved.
