Built Tough for Jobsites
Vallen Vault isn’t here to play; it’s here to stay-for as long as you need it. Made for the daily abuse expected on industrial jobsites, Vallen Vault was made to perform with a smart blend of high technology and old-school strength.

Vallen Vision
Maximize Safety with the Vallen Vision Confined Space Monitoring System
Vallen Vision is a U.S. Patented confined space monitoring system that can transform the turnaround for your refinery or plant. With real-time audio-visual monitoring and communications, permitting access, and data storage all within one system, Vallen Vision reduces risk and maximizes safety while increasing efficiency and compliance. Specifically designed to monitor permit-required entry duties and spaces, Vallen Vision offers automatic, real-time capture of visual, gas detection, and permitted access data,so that you can see everything and leave nothing to chance, both inside and outside confined spaces during turnarounds—and so that you can review events later, in order to see who was in each specific space.
TRANSFORM THE TURNAROUND
Features & Benefits
Flexible Safety and Support
Robust, redundant and easily deployable, the Vallen Vision system is fully customizable,re-configurable, and expandable to meet your facility’s current and future needs.
Smarter Access Control
Vallen Vision offers completely automated, instant logging of personnel info and movement into and out of confined spaces, while a dedicated display in the monitoring suite provides real-time updates of personnel activities alongside system and visual identity credentials, and all of this data can be easily exported at a later date.
Quick, Clear, Constant Communication
Monitoring suite operators can easily see and hear outside and inside the confined space, and instantly communicate with staff at both stations, and confined space communication stations feature a single-press button for instant communication with outside station, and another for contacting the monitoring suite.
See Everything, All the Time
Why rely on a single fixed camera? Vallen Vision allows you to distribute and integrate a complete network of easily connected devices for even more coverage and risk minimization. And different camera types and functions—thermal, IR, 360-degree—can be quickly configured and installed as needed, where needed.
More Redundancy and Security
A wireless mesh network allows devices to share data constantly and create more stable and reliable communications. Data is instantly transmitted from camera to monitoring suite, and as a backup, each camera also contains a retrievable SD card to recover the previous days of footage.
Simple Gas Data Integration
Vallen Vision is gas detection system agnostic, so your facility’s realtime multi-gas data can be integrated and synchronized with visual and badging data within the monitoring system.
