Sorveo · Real-Time Alerts

The right alert, to the right person — the moment it matters.

When Sorveo detects something that matters, the people responsible hear about it straight away — with a photo and the camera location, by WhatsApp, SMS, email or in-app. Everyone else isn't disturbed.

Feature overview

What makes Sorveo alerts actionable.

WhatsApp, SMS, email & in-app

Reach people wherever they are. Every camera licence includes all four channels.

Snapshot and location

Every alert carries the image that triggered it and where the camera is — so the responder knows what they're walking into.

Subscriber routing

Each person is notified only about the watchlists and cameras that concern them — the gatehouse gets the gate, the duty manager gets the VIPs.

Per-watchlist alert levels

Set each watchlist to Normal, Important or Critical, per recipient — so a banned individual is loud and a VIP arrival is a quiet heads-up.

Less noise

Repeat alerts for the same subject are suppressed, and fragmented "unknown person" blips that turn out to be a match a second later don't trigger a stray alert.

Acknowledge & triage

Alerts are cleared in the portal with a record of who actioned them and when — the basis of the alert-response report.

Benefits

What changes when alerts are designed, not just generated.

Alert types

What Sorveo alerts on today.

Watchlist

Person of interest

A banned guest, known offender or VIP is recognised — alert with a photo the moment they arrive. Watchlists

Access

Unauthorised person

Anyone not on an authorised list appears on a restricted camera — critical alert, while authorised people pass silently. Access control

Unknown

Stranger after hours

An unrecognised face on a secure or after-hours camera draws attention instead of passing unseen.

Perimeter

Restricted area & line crossing

Someone enters a no-go zone or crosses a boundary line — flagged live. Perimeter detection

Vehicle

Vehicle activity

A vehicle idling, passing or crossing into a zone at gates, yards and forecourts. Vehicle detection

Health

Camera outages

A camera goes offline or degrades — emailed to the outage recipients you set for that camera. Camera health

On the roadmap: behaviour alerts such as loitering and falls, and occupancy or queue thresholds, are in development.

Industries

Alerting tuned per vertical.

Frequently asked

Real-time alerts FAQ.

Can Sorveo send security alerts by WhatsApp?

Yes. Alerts can be delivered by WhatsApp, SMS, email and in-app notification — every camera licence includes all channels. Each alert carries a snapshot and the camera location.

How does Sorveo avoid alarm fatigue?

Each person subscribes only to the watchlists and cameras that concern them, each watchlist has its own alert level (Normal, Important or Critical), repeat alerts for the same subject are suppressed, and brief "unknown person" sightings that turn out to be a match a moment later are handled so they don't trigger a stray alert.

Can we see who responded to an alert?

Yes. Alerts are acknowledged in the portal with a record of who actioned them and when, and the alert-response report measures acknowledgement rate and time-to-acknowledge per responder.

What happens to alerts if our account is suspended or a site goes offline?

Sorveo never goes dark: even a commercially suspended account keeps detecting and logging in-app — only outbound messaging pauses. If a site loses connectivity, events captured while offline are stored and logged when it reconnects, without firing stale live alerts.
