Oil and Gas Awards 2020

Apr20115 Leading Providers of Explosion- Proof Surveillance Cameras 2020 Whether drilling for oil and gas, monitoring pipelines, or refining petrochemicals, the necessity for explosion-proof cameras that can withstand the harshest of environments and most hazardous of locations is one that cannot go ignored within the industry. Spectrum has created a series of explosion-proof cameras, which also utilize the latest optical technology available today that is integrated into a dual patented housing. Catering to the oil and gas industry, as well as chemical plants, grain applications, sugar mills, pharmaceuticals, and cannabis extraction facilities, Spectrum’s cameras are tested and certified to work in the toughest of environments. Offering explosion-proof cameras at a fraction of the weight compared to other industry solutions, Spectrum is spearheading safe and efficient installations that are building on top of what has gone before and making it better. Spectrum currently utilizes a wide range of top camera manufacturers across the world, including Axis Communications and Hanwha Techwin (Samsung), as well as manufacturing multiple models as part of its own brand. Across all of the cameras and products that Spectrum designs, develops, and manufactures, there are a number of factors that remain the same. Quality control is present at every stage of the manufacturing process for Spectrum. Nothing leaves the facility and goes to a client if it has not been rigorously tested and confirmed it is fit for purpose in what will be a harsh, hazardous, and often dangerous environment. Key to that testing and quality control is training, auditing and process efficiency. Other areas that Spectrum prides itself on excelling in include the speed of its service, its on-time delivery of product, and the range of products it often has in stock. The world faces an increasingly uncertain time at the moment, with Covid-19 presenting many issues for many different businesses and industries, with gas and oil not being exempt from that. However, it may yet to prove beneficial for the team at Spectrum. As refineries continue to operate at a reduced capacity for an extended period of time with an increased risk of infection when operating at a higher capacity, site asset owners are maintaining and even upgrading current assets, including process camera vision systems. With the potential to cut back due to low, or even negative oil prices, refineries look to Spectrum to help upgrade their vision systems, imbuing them with explosion-proof and the latest mainstream technology including artificial intelligence capacities that will increase awareness and reduce risk. As Spectrum continues to offer the most technologically innovative and exciting products into a new market, it does not face many of the challenges that others in the industry do. There is little competition against the cameras that Spectrum offers in explosion-proof, due to the utilization of the latest POE (power over ethernet) cameras available by leaders in the mainstream security camera industry bringing that capacity into explosion-proof solutions with the latest technology embedded inside.
