A vital consideration for surveillance in many of the Middle East's oil, gas and petrochemical environments is the need for resilience to ensure continuous monitoring and recording.

Many facilities are at risk from deliberate attacks, intruders, climate events, infrastructure failures, and accidents. The hydrocarbons and chemicals stored and processed at these facilities are highly flammable and explosive, and processes, including gas flaring, pressure stabilising, and gas release, come with inherent risk. Using explosion-proof cameras and robust devices is non-negotiable.

IDIS has developed a range of explosion-proof camera models, including its award-winning 5MP, 6MP and 12MP fisheyes, a choice of PTZs with up to 36x zoom, a mini dome, and fixed-lens bullet.

Designed for the harshest environments, the cameras can operate at temperatures between -40C and +60C, varying humidity and light conditions, including almost complete darkness, and protect against dust and moisture ingress.
