Design guide for PTZ EO+IR surveillance camera systems for electrical substations, hydrocarbon facilities, ports, and military bases. Sensor selection, detection range, video analytics, and recording architecture by threat level.
Critical infrastructure — SEIN substations, CÁLIDDA gas installations, Port of Callao, military bases — has a fundamentally different threat profile than a shopping center. Perimeters span 2-4 km; incidents happen at night; threats operate at ranges beyond standard camera coverage.
EO+IR dual-sensor PTZ cameras (like Cohu Quasar XP) address all three: EO zoom 36x for color daylight identification, LWIR 640×480 for zero-light detection at 800-1,200 meters. Per STANAG 4347, identification at 300m requires 6 px/m from the target — achievable with LWIR 25mm focal length.
Video analytics (line crossing, intrusion zone, auto-tracking) reduce operator cognitive load across 20+ simultaneous cameras. ONVIF Profile S/T integration with Milestone, Genetec, and Avigilon VMS provides unified alarm management. NVR recording with 30-day retention satisfies MINEM/OSINERGMIN regulatory requirements. In a 3.2km-perimeter SEIN substation deployment: 3 intrusions detected in 6 months, response time reduced from 8 to 2 minutes.
Technical framework for industrial control system (OT) cybersecurity in Peruvian critical infrastructure. IT/OT convergence, IEC 62443 standard, real ransomware cases in SCADA, and recommended controls for SEIN, mining, and defense.
Rolatube carbon fiber masts allow relocating camera and antenna points in open-pit mining operations in minutes, without cranes or civil works. Applications in perimeter security, Kinetic Mesh coverage, and mine face monitoring.
