Sorveo · Camera Health

No more dark cameras. No more silent blind spots.

Sorveo watches every camera in your estate continuously — surfacing signal loss, obstruction, tampering, drift and frame-rate issues the moment they happen. Camera-health uptime becomes a managed metric, not a quarterly discovery.

Security operator monitoring CCTV camera health
Feature overview

What Sorveo monitors on every camera.

Signal availability

Continuous monitoring of camera reachability. Outages flagged within seconds, not on next manual sweep.

Frame-rate & quality

Frame rate drops, encoding glitches, network jitter — all flagged before they degrade detection.

Exposure & contrast

IR cutoffs at night, backlight surges by day, lens fogging — picture-content anomalies caught by AI analysis.

Positional drift

Cameras nudged during cleaning or vibration get auto-detected — by visual content comparison, not just hardware sensors.

Obstruction & tampering

Spider webs, paint, tape, deliberate covering — each generates a distinct ticket category.

SLA tracking

Per-issue SLA tracking: 4-hour triage, 24-hour cleaning, 72-hour hardware repair. Reported per-site, per-week.

Frequently asked

Camera health FAQ.

What does Sorveo monitor about each camera?

Signal availability, frame rate, exposure and contrast, positional drift, obstruction, and tampering signatures. Each becomes a ticket the moment it's detected.

How does this differ from what my NVR or VMS already shows?

Most NVR/VMS systems show online/offline state. Sorveo adds AI-driven analysis of the actual video content — detecting tilt, drift, and obstruction that doesn't break the stream.

What percentage of a typical camera estate is in poor health at any given time?

In our assessments across African enterprise sites, 8–15% of cameras are typically inoperative at any moment. Some neglected estates cross 25%.
