Online cameras for gas stations and fuel networks

What a fuel network gains

A wide shot helps you judge the queue at the entrance, how busy the pumps are and the situation by the shop or the wash. Head office can clarify the picture before contacting the station manager.

A recording gives visual context when reviewing how a customer was served, a supplier arrival or contractor work. The facts are compared with till data, logs and staff explanations.

Existing cameras

A camera with an available RTSP stream is connected to rtsp.me without having to replace the recorder. Support for H.264 and H.265 suits common IP cameras.

Installation and the network must meet the site's requirements. Online access is not opened directly to devices in the operational technology segment; the architecture is agreed with information and industrial security specializts.

What rtsp.me gives you

Core features for a single station and for a network:

• Existing camerasAvailable RTSP streams without replacing the system
• Browser and mobileComputer, smartphone and tablet
• Several stationsNetwork sites in one account
• Restricted accessPassword and allowed domain
• Cloud archiveRecording for a chosen retention period
• Signal monitoringNotifications when a stream is unavailable
• HTML embeddingA player for a private portal
• H.264 and H.265Common camera codecs

Five steps to connect

Choose wide fields of view that show no payment data and no protected infrastructure.

1. Create an account on rtsp.me.
2. Obtain the RTSP address of the agreed stream.
3. Add the camera, naming the station and the area.
4. Check the video, archive, notifications, password and domain.
5. Share the link with the people responsible or embed the HTML player in your internal portal.

Review the list of users and the signal loss response procedure regularly.

Areas and use cases

The following wide shots are the most informative:

• entrance, exit and the queue of vehicles;
• the fuel pump area;
• a tanker arriving, from an agreed field of view;
• the shop entrance and the till queue, without the terminal screen;
• the parking lot and the rest area;
• the wash and service bays;
• the outer perimeter and the service entrance;
• remote stations across the network.

Video is not used to detect a leak, vapour concentration or safe clearance to carry out work.

Live stream from a gas station — example

A live wide shot of the forecourt shows the queue at the pumps and the situation at the entrance.

Managing sites

Consistent camera names let head office find a station and the right area quickly. Viewing helps you judge the visible workload and contact the manager, without sending any automatic commands to the site.

Fields of view used for internal oversight are kept private. Public embedding is possible only for a specially chosen, depersonalized shot, if the owner allows it and it does not reveal how the site operates.

Archive and monitoring

The cloud archive lets you go back to a chosen period and compare the picture with till events, the shift log or service times. The retention period is set according to your operational goal and data requirements.

rtsp.me notifies you when a stream is unavailable. The service does not diagnose gas station process equipment and does not replace scheduled connectivity checks.

Privacy and safety

The frame must not include PINs, payment data, internal documents, access codes or details of protected infrastructure. Access to the archive is restricted, and staff and visitors are informed in line with the applicable rules.

Video does not replace fire detection systems, gas detectors, leak sensors, emergency shutdown, process interlocks, occupational safety, instructions or staff. When there are signs of danger, decisions are made according to procedure and the readings of dedicated systems.
