Introduction
The Methane/Natural Gas Camera continuously monitors a large volume of space.The camera is a fully integrated unit capable of autonomously detecting methane and natural gas clouds that exceed safety levels and produce warnings.MetCam is further capable of detecting small emissions, for routine preventive maintenance operations, and serves as
a situational awareness camera.The output images, warning and alarm signals of the camera are displayed on a monitor in the control room using ONVIF interface. Industry standard 4-20 mA, ModBus and HART are all available locally on the sensor and can be used to interface the facility infrastructure MetCam utilizes advanced algorithms to insure robustness and immunity to spurious effects of environmental origin.MetCam uses high reliability components and no moving parts to increase the operability and does not need any special maintenance or calibrations other than periodical external cleaning.Due to the optical and imaging nature of the camera the gas sensing is done remotely and, contrary to the situation with point gas sensors, covers a continuous large volume of space without any voids.
