Bring video coverage to oil and gas operations, from refinery process areas to storage infrastructure. A fixed IP system connects industrial monitoring with your network recording setup.
Observe equipment, service walkways and activity around process infrastructure.
Maintain an overview of pipe corridors, storage tanks and operational access points.
Plan fixed views of entrances and restricted areas alongside your wider security system.
Illustrative oil and gas environment.
The catalog specifies an electropolished 316L stainless-steel housing and high-transmissivity viewing glass, with a sun shroud and heater/window-defroster provisions.
A camera can look clear during the day, yet lose detail when its internal IR illumination switches on at night. Behind a housing window, reflected IR can return to the lens and create glare, haze and ghost images.
Putting an IR camera inside a separate housing can let its own illumination reflect from the glass back into the lens. This can mask vessel fittings, bolts and pipe details. It is an internal-reflection and glare effect, sometimes described as a “prism effect”; it is not caused by glass thickness alone.
The SGC-EX LS uses a Sony IMX291 STARVIS sensor and, in the configuration specified by Stanklin, emits no IR or white light. It uses available ambient light for low-light color imaging, avoiding glare from its own illuminator behind the window.
Low light, not zero light. Color detail requires some visible ambient light. Results depend on light level, exposure, lens, glass condition and subject movement. Absolute darkness requires an appropriate external lighting solution.

The catalog specifies a Sony IMX291 STARVIS sensor for Full HD imaging. Wide dynamic range helps manage scenes with strong brightness differences, while day/night switching, an IR-cut filter and 3D noise filtering support changing lighting conditions.
Stanklin uses Sony image sensors across its camera range.
