For Shopping Malls

AI video intelligence for shopping malls — built on the CCTV you already have.

Sorveo connects to your mall's existing cameras and adds a real-time intelligence layer — detecting theft, managing crowds, surfacing slip-and-fall events, and protecting tenants. No new hardware, no rip-and-replace.

The problems

Mall security is a multi-front problem.

Most malls have plenty of cameras and nowhere near enough eyes. Sorveo gives every camera attention — at the same time, all the time.

Shrinkage and shoplifting

Retail tenants lose stock daily. Most theft isn't caught in the act — it's discovered in stock counts, days later. Sorveo flags suspicious dwell, concealment patterns, and known offenders in real time.

Crowds, queues and dwell

Holiday weekends overwhelm food courts and main entrances. Sorveo measures occupancy and queue depth across the mall so operations can dispatch staff before bottlenecks become incidents.

Slip-and-fall liability

A wet floor and a missing wet-floor sign can become a six-figure claim. Sorveo indexes events as they happen, so you can pull the exact clip and surrounding context in seconds when a claim is filed.

After-hours intrusion

Service corridors, loading bays and tenant back-of-house are vulnerable when the mall closes. Sorveo runs perimeter and motion rules out-of-hours and pings security the instant anything is detected.

Lost children and POI alerts

Sorveo runs watchlist matching against your mall's known persons of interest, and accelerates lost-child searches by correlating last-seen sightings across every camera in the mall.

Cameras going dark

A camera offline for three days is a three-day blind spot. Sorveo monitors camera health continuously and flags signal loss, obstruction and tampering so issues are fixed within the day.

In practice

What Sorveo does for your mall.

Real-time alerts

Threat detection across every camera, every minute

Sorveo runs detection on every feed continuously, not just the screens an operator happens to be watching. Suspicious behaviour, perimeter breaches and watchlist matches escalate the moment they happen — to app, SMS, or your existing control-room workflow.

Behaviour analytics

Loitering, dwell, and unusual movement

Sorveo learns the normal rhythm of your mall — and surfaces what doesn't fit. Excess dwell near jewellery counters, repeated back-and-forth through service corridors, after-hours loitering at exits: each becomes a tagged alert your team can triage in seconds.

Operational intelligence

Crowd, queue and footfall analytics

Get live occupancy and queue depth by zone — main entrance, food court, anchor stores, parking. Use the same feeds for incident response and for tenant reporting on footfall trends.

Audit and review

Indexed footage when you need it

When a slip-and-fall, theft, or tenant dispute is reported, Sorveo lets you jump to the exact event in seconds. Every detection is timestamped, geo-tagged to a camera, and searchable — no more scrubbing hours of footage.

Tenant value

A mall-wide intelligence layer your tenants benefit from

Sorveo's analytics aren't just for the mall operator. Share targeted insights with anchor tenants — footfall, dwell, conversion patterns — to deepen tenant relationships and support lease renewals.

Health monitoring

Camera-health monitoring, continuously

Sorveo treats your camera estate as critical infrastructure. Signal loss, obstruction, tilt, and tampering generate tickets the moment they're detected — so blind spots get fixed in hours, not weeks.

Frequently asked

Mall operators ask us.

Can Sorveo work with my mall's existing CCTV cameras?

Yes — Sorveo is built specifically to layer on top of existing IP, NVR, and hybrid CCTV systems. Most malls keep every camera they have and simply add the Sorveo intelligence layer in software.

How does Sorveo help mall security teams catch shoplifting in real time?

Sorveo detects suspicious dwell time, unusual movement patterns, and known persons of interest from a shared watchlist. Alerts go directly to your control room and floor teams the moment behaviour is detected — not hours later on review.

Can Sorveo monitor crowds and queues across multiple entrances and food courts?

Yes. Sorveo provides real-time occupancy, queue length, and crowd-density analytics across every monitored area, so operations can dispatch staff and prevent bottlenecks before they escalate.

Does Sorveo help with slip-and-fall liability cases?

Sorveo continuously timestamps and indexes events, so when an incident is reported, security can pull the exact clip and surrounding context in seconds rather than scrubbing hours of footage.

Is Sorveo deployed in malls across Africa?

Yes. Sorveo supports shopping malls and retail developments in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda and Egypt, with cloud, hybrid and on-premise deployment options to suit local bandwidth and compliance needs.

What does a typical mall deployment look like?

A typical engagement begins with a free site assessment, followed by integration with your existing camera infrastructure, configuration of detection rules and escalation workflows, training for your control room and floor teams, and ongoing optimisation. Most malls go live in days, with phased coverage for very large sites.
