Upstream Sites & Yards
Pads, batteries and equipment yards, often off-grid.
Yards, tank farms, control rooms and remote sites — surveilled, connected and secured by one Houston team that understands energy operations don't stop.
Energy operations are spread out, often remote, and frequently sit exactly where cable and power do not. A tank battery in a field, a yard full of equipment, a control room that cannot go dark — each needs a different answer, and stitching together separate vendors for cameras, connectivity and network security leaves gaps between them. Stratos Group designs and installs the surveillance, connectivity and network protection for oil, gas and energy sites across the Houston metro, as one accountable team.
Tap the solution you care about to see the detail.
Well pads, tank batteries, compressor stations and yards are usually where surveillance is hardest to run and most needed. We build sites that work off-grid: solar power, a wireless bridge back to your network or an LTE uplink, cameras rated for the environment, and analytics that alert your team to a person on the pad instead of recording an incident nobody sees until morning.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
Large, poorly lit sites defeat ordinary cameras. Thermal detection registers a person crossing a dark yard at distance regardless of light, and when paired with analytics it turns a fence line into a monitored boundary instead of a wall of footage. It is the difference between knowing someone is on your site now and finding out tomorrow.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
Control rooms, chemical storage, metering buildings and gated yards should not open to a shared key everyone copied. We install access control that admits the right people to the right areas, logs every entry, and revokes a departed contractor once instead of re-keying a site — with license plate recognition at vehicle gates where that fits the operation.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
When control systems share a flat network with email and web browsing, one compromised laptop can reach places it never should. We design networks that segment operational technology from business IT, harden remote access, protect endpoints, and monitor for the traffic that signals a problem — the layered defense critical operations need without pretending any single product makes you invulnerable.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
Pads, batteries and equipment yards, often off-grid.
Compressor and metering stations that cannot go dark.
Corporate IT, cameras and access under one standard.
Yards, shops and fleets for the companies that serve the field.
We assess each location — power, connectivity, sightlines and the real risks — free.
A layout for surveillance, access and network, with a fixed price per site.
We install, validate remotely-reachable footage, and support it going forward.
Yes. We build off-grid sites with solar power and battery, and backhaul the video over a point-to-point wireless bridge or an LTE uplink. We confirm the footage is reachable from your office before considering the install complete.
With a mix: thermal cameras detect people across dark open ground at distance, PTZ and long-range cameras provide identification detail, and analytics filter out weather and headlights so after-hours alerts mean something. We size the design to your specific site during the survey.
Yes. We segment operational systems from office IT, harden and log remote access, protect endpoints and monitor the network. We provide layered defense and are honest that no single product makes any operation invulnerable.
No. We are an insured installer and integrator. We design surveillance and access control that support your security and safety obligations, but your regulatory and compliance programs remain yours — we will tell you clearly where our work ends.
Yes. We bring every site into one interface with centralized users and retention, so remote yards, stations and offices report to a single standard instead of separate systems you cannot compare.
The recurring problem in energy surveillance is not the camera, it is everything around it: no power, no cable, and often no cell signal you can rely on. A site that ignores those realities produces a beautiful proposal and a dead camera within a month.
We build for the actual location. Solar and battery where there is no power, a point-to-point wireless bridge or an LTE uplink where there is no fiber, equipment rated for heat and dust, and mounting that survives wind. Then we confirm the footage is reachable from your office before we call it done, because a remote camera you cannot see is not surveillance.
Energy operations tend to accumulate vendors: one company for cameras, another for the radios, another for the network, an electrician for power. When something fails at a remote site, each points at the others while the site sits blind. That finger-pointing is expensive when the asset is a tank battery two hours away.
We own the whole chain — the cameras, the connectivity that carries them, the access control and the network that protects it all. One number to call, one team accountable, and no gap between a radio vendor and a camera installer where a down site quietly falls through.
Energy sites carry real security and safety weight, and some fall under critical-infrastructure expectations. We design surveillance and access control that support those obligations — controlled-area access logs, perimeter detection, retained footage — and we are straight about what we do and do not provide. We are an insured installer and integrator, not a compliance auditor, and we will tell you plainly where our work ends and your safety and regulatory programs begin.
We serve oil, gas and energy operations across the Houston metro from Katy: Houston, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, Pasadena, Pearland, The Woodlands and Conroe, and we travel to remote sites across Texas — yards, tank batteries, compressor stations, control rooms and service-company facilities.
We've been working with Stratos Group for more than 10 years, and they've been a reliable partner throughout that time. They helped us set up our server infrastructure and have continued to support us with IT issues, network management, and day-to-day technical needs. Whenever something comes up, their team is responsive and works quickly to get us back up and running.What I appreciate most is that they take the time to understand our business and provide practical solutions instead of just quick fixes. Having a dependable IT team gives us confidence that our systems are secure and functioning properly.If you're looking for an IT company that is knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with, I would recommend giving Stratos Group a call.Fernando Campos CEO, Kennedy & Campos Associates
