Solution overview

Gas stations face unique security and fire protection challenges. Protecting continually employees, customers, and assets, every moment is the top priority.

 

As a place where drivers fuel their vehicles, purchase refreshments, and make a rest stop on the way to their destination, gas stations provide quick and essential services with quality – sometimes around the clock. In the meantime, gas station operators must also manage the delivery of gasoline from tanker trucks, keeping an eye on general site safety.

 

Hikvision's Solutions by Scenario for Gas Stations integrate video security, commercial displays, alarm systems, and a unified platform, providing smart and efficient ways to enhance security, streamline operations, and optimize services.

Vehicle Entrances & Exits

Challenges

Each day, a large number of vehicles continually enter and leave a station, especially during the peak hours of the day. And when a reliable way to record the passing vehicles is missing, dangers, security risks, and efficiency problems remain untraceable.

What we offer

Hikvision offers cameras to recognize vehicle license plates at gas-station entrances and exits, facilitating automated recording of inbound and outbound vehicle information. The recorded vehicle data is easy to retrieve. And based on the information, vehicle flow patterns can be analyzed to inform and optimize operational decision making.

Fueling Zones

Challenges

The fueling zone is where the most important assets – the gasoline pumps – are located. They are prone to risks like fire and property loss. Guaranteeing safety in these key areas requires enhanced prevention against such risks. At the same time, a quick response is necessary when an unauthorized entry occurs outside of business hours.

 

What we offer

Professional thermal & optical bi-spectrum network cameras fulfill dual tasks with one device. The thermal module monitors temperature changes and triggers alarms upon temperature anomalies for fire safety, in any kind of weather or light. The optical module renders uninterrupted video in high clarity and with balanced light exposure, accurately detecting persons and vehicles – even facing bright headlights.

Unloading Zones

Challenges

The unloading zone usually has limited ambient light at night, making it difficult to check details from a camera’s view. However, gas station operators need to quickly identify unauthorized persons or vehicles at this hazardous area and stop trespassing as early as possible.

What we offer

Various features and functionalities including colorful imaging 24/7, AI-powered trespasser detection, and large optical zoom help provide wide-area HD video coverage and automated intrusion detection and deterrence.

Store Entrances

Challenges

Gas stations often feature convenience stores, food courts, and washrooms. The store entrances are critical for both security and marketing. This is a location where the gas station operators need to attract their customers to boost profitability while staying alert for potential risks.

 

What we offer

Hikvision provides security cameras with people-counting functions and commercial display monitors to promote merchandise at the store entrances, adding security and increasing conversion while providing statistical reports on footfall.

Shopping Areas

Challenges

Convenience stores usually operate on a low profit margin. Operators need to effectively protect shopping areas and maximize their return on a limited budget. The stores require 24/7 security protection, along with easy-to-retrieve records for evidence management. And, it would be extremely helpful to know in real time which products are popular and which are not.

What we offer

Up to 360-degree, wide-area HD video coverage and heat-map analytics to identify most-visited areas and optimize merchandise displays – using just one camera to meet your complete security and operational needs with minimal costs and effort for installation and maintenance.

Checkout Counters

Challenges

At the checkout counters, there are two primary concerns – loss prevention and the customer experience. Loss prevention means prevention of transaction errors, fraud, and property loss, and investigation when those occur. The customer experience and service quality are also challenged by long queues and risks of handling disputes.

What we offer

Shorter wait times, better handling of transaction disputes, and higher levels of security around the clock – these are all empowered by Hikvision’s AI-enabled security cameras and alarm systems, giving extra protection to the cashiers and customers while providing situational awareness for store managers.
