Secure Gas Dispensers with WSPER: A Low-Cost Retrofit Alerting System That Works
Chris Andry

As fuel retailers grow through acquisitions and consolidation, one consistent challenge emerges: how to secure aging gas dispenser infrastructure without replacing it entirely. That’s where WSPER’s Gas Dispenser Door Alerting System delivers—a cost-effective, retrofit-ready solution designed to instantly enhance the security and visibility of your fuel islands.


💡 Why It Matters

Many fuel dispensers in older or acquired stations lack modern tamper detection. This leaves sites vulnerable to:

  • Skimmer installation
  • Internal theft or access
  • Vandalism or accidental access by customers or staff

Even if the pumps still work fine, missing door switches or outdated systems mean you’re flying blind when something goes wrong.


🧃 The Problem with Security Seals

For years, many operators have relied on security tape or seals placed across fuel dispenser doors to detect tampering. But these methods are:

  • 🛠️ Easily bypassed or replaced by bad actors
  • 📉 Not monitored in real-time — issues are only discovered after the fact
  • 🧍 Dependent on human checks — which are inconsistent at best

Security seals might check a compliance box, but they do nothing to stop or alert you when tampering is actually happening.


🔧 WSPER Brings Modern Visibility to Legacy Pumps

Our system uses wired contact sensors inside your dispenser cabinets and connects them to the WSPER LTE-based multi-sensor device, delivering real-time alerts anytime a fuel dispenser door is opened—no Wi-Fi or network wiring required.

Key Benefits:

  • Low-cost hardware — ideal for high-volume rollouts
  • 🔌 Works with any existing pump — Gilbarco, Wayne, or older brands
  • 📶 LTE connectivity — alerts work even if your main network is down
  • 🔔 Instant notifications — alerts go to your phone, email, or central system
  • 🔗 Optional video integration — pair with Solink for visual verification


🏪 Perfect for Acquisitions, Mergers, and Older Sites

Whether you’ve just acquired a new site or are modernizing a legacy network, WSPER helps you add critical dispenser monitoring without full hardware replacement.

It’s a simple upgrade with high impact:

  • Avoid PCI fines from unmonitored skimmer breaches
  • Catch unauthorized access before loss occurs
  • Prove compliance with access audit logs and alert trails


⚙️ How It Works

  1. Install magnetic or contact sensors inside each dispenser cabinet
  2. Connect them to a WSPER Stationary Sensor Hub
  3. Device sends alerts over LTE the moment a door is opened
  4. Add optional relays for sirens, strobes, or external integrations

No local server. No complex programming. Just plug, label, and protect.


📈 Scale-Ready for Multi-Site Operators

We’ve designed this system to scale—whether you're retrofitting 5 or 500 stores. Centralized alerts, low monthly connectivity costs, and easy installation make it ideal for:

  • Retail fuel operators
  • C-store management groups
  • Third-party maintenance providers
