GAS STATION SECURITY RISKS

CHALLENGES

Gas stations, often open 24/7 and frequently handling cash transactions, face heightened security challenges. They are prime targets for theft, vandalism, and violent crimes, threatening employee and customer safety. In 2022, the FBI reported 17,854 violent incidents at gas stations in the US, among which robbery and aggravated assault accounted for over 97%, highlighting their vulnerability. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for robust security measures to protect staff and assets in this highrisk industry.

TRENDS

Essential Security Components for Gas Stations

Surveillance Systems: Security cameras, alarm systems, and video recorders to cover the convenience stores, gas pumps, and parking lots.
Access Control: Electronic locks, keycards, or facial recognition access control systems to restrict unauthorized entry into sensitive areas like checkout counters or stockrooms.
Alarm Systems: Intrusion alarms with sensors to deter trespassers, and fire & gas leak alarms for early warnings.

Emerging Trends

AI-Driven Surveillance: Security cameras are equipped with AI technologies such as facial and license plate recognition, people counting, and active deterrence.
Autonomous Security: Today’s systems are capable of monitoring activities and reacting automatically.

Integrating a modern surveillance system with AI-powered technologies will enhance security, protect against criminal activities, and optimize operational efficiency.
