Hikvision deployed at 200 Total Ghana service stations
Information Certainty: Speculative
Deployment Purpose: Criminal investigations, Surveillance
| Summary |
|---|
| In order to secure over 200 service stations, TotalEnergies Ghana enlisted Steelholder Ghana and Hikvision to supply the video system. The system is 24/7 and lists object detection and anomaly detection as features. The use of facial recognition or other biometric usages cannot be ascertained. However given the usage of the system for security purposes and the capabilities of Hikvision systems to have facial recognition added on it can be speculated that this is at play. Furthermore anomaly detection sometimes contains elements of person tracking. |

Description[ ]
Over 200 public service stations in Ghana use a Hikvision supplied camera network to monitor their premises.
Steelhold needed a video security system that would cover Total’s premises and service stations from all directions and it knew exactly which solution would meet Total’s needs.“We choose Hikvision as we knew its video cameras were grounded in innovation and quality, providing the best video footage in the widest range of conditions to help Total’s business,” said Samuel Tawiah, executive director, Steehold. Hikvision Provides Superlative Security: Following extensive consultation with Total staff, the final design of the security solution at the facility and new services stations consisted of 120 Hikvision IP cameras to enable high quality 24/7 security across the Total’s premises and its new service stations in Ghana. The Hikvision Easy IP 3.0 cameras feature a wealth of innovative technologies to combat low-light, bright-light, and extreme weather conditions, while still providing superlative image quality. The cameras also include capabilities such as object tracking, line crossing, intrusion detection, and motion detection, with the ability to trigger alerts and make security staff immediately aware of any suspicious behaviour 1
