A petrol station needs weatherproof cameras on the pumps and forecourt, the shop and till, the cash office, the tank and delivery area, and the entrance with number-plate capture. Fuel stations are cash-heavy and open at night, so night performance, good lighting and backup power matter. Choose equipment suitable for the environment and follow safety rules around fuel areas.
Key takeaways
- Pumps, forecourt, shop, cash office and tanks.
- Night performance and lighting matter.
- Number-plate camera at the entrance.
- UPS or generator-backed recording.

06Frequently asked questions
Are special cameras needed near fuel?
Equipment near fuel dispensing may need to meet hazardous-area safety rules. Ask your installer and the station's safety officer before mounting anything at the pumps.
Why do number plates matter?
Drive-offs and disputes are resolved faster with a clear plate image, which needs a dedicated camera at the right angle.
What about power cuts?
Use a UPS on the recorder and cameras, or generator backup, so recording continues overnight.
How much storage do I need?
It depends on cameras and retention. Use the recorder's bitrate to calculate days, and use surveillance-grade disks.
