Using CCTV to Support Remote Operation

In 2005, TBG deployed a CCTV system at its compressor stations to support the pipeline operators in their daily duties, specifically compressor’s start and stop when the station is unmanned. Fixed cameras are installed inside the compressors building and a pan/tilt/zoom dome camera is installed at a high location that allows an overall view of the facility and its surroundings. The system also improves operational safety by enabling faster fire detection. The cameras connect to a digital video recorder that stores all motion detection events in a hard disk. Live video and recordings are available to any authorized user in TBG’s corporate network.
