CCTV leakage-detection system for ships
Hernis Scan Systems
The leakage detection system is offered as an optional feature to the HERNIS CCTV systems. By pointing the CCTV camera to a critical area such as the fuel oil pump on the main or auxiliary engine, the video motion detection system with its integrated software will detect any possible leakage and trigger an alarm at a very early stage. Leakage of gas or fuel oil is detected, the pre- and post-alarm images are stored on harddisk and action can be taken long before an actual fire strikes, for instance by fuel igniting over a hot surface.
The HERNIS Leakage Detection system revolutionizes fire safety on board, since the fire as such does not trigger the alarm, but, instead, a sophisticated mathematical analysis of taken pictures interprets the actual cause preceding the fire.
To avoid false alarms the video motion detection system has a detailed masking feature defining areas that are not to be analysed for movements or change in colour. The system also offers selection of max/min object size, definition of direction of movement as well as the option of setting horizontal and vertical planes in the image.
The HERNIS Leakage Detection systems are delivered in cooperation with Detec. Shortly after the introduction of the new feature to the HERNIS CCTV systems, Hernis Scan Systems A/S received orders for 4 LNG-carriers, one super-yacht and one offshore installation, showing that this automatic alarm system is warmly welcomed by the market.
