Oil & Gas CCTV: Perimeter & Restricted-Zone Detection

Watch

See Sorveo on oil & gas sites.

A short look at how Sorveo turns existing oil & gas CCTV into real-time security for remote perimeters, hazardous zones and site gates.

The problems

Energy sites are high-stakes and hard to watch.

Remote perimeters, hazardous zones, high-value assets and strict compliance. Sorveo gives every camera constant attention across sites that are too large and too remote to watch by eye.

Perimeter breaches at remote sites

Fences, pipeline corridors and unmanned facilities are hard to guard. Sorveo flags anyone crossing a perimeter line or entering a no-go zone and alerts security immediately — day or night.

Unauthorised people in hazardous zones

People in exclusion zones during hot work or lifting operations create serious risk. With an allowlist on that camera, authorised crew and contractors pass silently — anyone else raises a critical alert.

Vehicle movement at gates and yards

Tankers, contractors and equipment move through gates constantly. Sorveo detects vehicles idling, passing or entering a zone, so after-hours movement is flagged in real time.

Equipment and product theft

Copper, tools, fuel and equipment are frequent targets. Sorveo alerts on after-hours presence around high-value assets and recognises known offenders from your watchlists.

Patchy connectivity at remote sites

Remote sites drop their link. Events captured while a site is offline are stored and replayed into the log when it reconnects — without firing stale live alerts — so nothing that happened offline is lost.

Cameras failing in harsh conditions

Dust, heat, vibration and power instability take cameras offline. Sorveo monitors camera health continuously and flags signal loss, obstruction and tampering the same day.

In practice

What Sorveo does for you.

Perimeter security

Restricted-area and line-crossing detection

Draw a line along a fence or mark a hazardous zone, and Sorveo flags anyone crossing or entering it — with a snapshot and camera location sent to your control room in seconds. More on perimeter detection.

Hazardous-zone access

Only authorised crew on restricted cameras

Put your crew and contractors on an allowlist for a hazardous-zone camera. Authorised people pass silently; anyone else raises a critical alert, and the Exclusion Detection report shows every entry split into authorised and unauthorised. See access control.

Gates & yards

Vehicle-activity detection

Sorveo flags vehicles idling, passing or entering a zone at gates, forecourts and yards, and logs every vehicle event in one searchable history. See vehicle activity detection.

Field alerts

WhatsApp and SMS alerts to field supervisors

Route each alert to the supervisor who covers that site by email, in-app, SMS or WhatsApp, with a snapshot and location. Alerts are acknowledged with a record of who actioned them and when. See real-time alerts.

Investigations

Event clips and searchable history for HSE and security

Search every detection by camera, date, person or result type, and review the short clip recorded around a triggering event (needs the site's edge device online or cloud clip storage). See incident investigation.

Reporting

Daily security summary, delivered

Schedule a daily security summary, alert-response and camera-activity reports as PDF or CSV to site, security and HSE managers — or export them on demand. See security reporting.

Multi-site

Every site, one control room

Organise facilities as Site → Building → Floor → Location, give each team a custom role with exactly the pages it needs, and keep a full audit trail of every action. See security governance.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear.

Can Sorveo work with our site's existing CCTV cameras?

Yes. Sorveo adds AI to the IP cameras you already have across your sites through an on-site Sorveo edge appliance, as long as each camera exposes a reachable video stream. There's no rip-and-replace, and each camera's detection profile (face, presence, perimeter or vehicle) can be changed remotely.

How does Sorveo secure remote perimeters?

Sorveo applies restricted-area and line-crossing detection to cameras covering fences, pipeline corridors and unmanned facilities. Anyone crossing a boundary or entering a no-go zone is flagged in real time, with a snapshot and location sent to your control room or field supervisors — including out of hours when sites are unmanned. See perimeter detection.

What happens if a remote site loses connectivity?

Events captured while a site is disconnected are stored and replayed into the log when the link returns, without firing stale live alerts. Sorveo's camera-health monitoring shows which cameras were online, offline or degraded, and emails named recipients when a camera drops.

Can Sorveo run on-premise for data-sovereignty and bandwidth?

Yes. Sorveo supports on-premise, hybrid and cloud deployments, so processing and footage can stay on-site where connectivity is limited or compliance requires it, with encryption and audit logging.

Is Sorveo deployed at energy sites across Africa?

Yes. Sorveo supports oil, gas and energy operators in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda and Egypt, with deployment options built for remote and low-bandwidth environments.
