Sorveo · Vehicle Activity Detection

Know the moment a vehicle is where it shouldn't be.

Sorveo watches your gates, yards and forecourts for vehicle activity — a vehicle idling, passing, or entering a zone — and alerts the right person in real time, on the cameras you already have.

Feature overview

What vehicle detection covers today.

Idle vehicles

A vehicle that stops and stays where it shouldn't — a forecourt, a fire lane, a yard after closing — becomes an event your team can act on.

Pass-by events

Know when vehicles pass a camera covering an access road, a gate lane or a quiet perimeter track — especially out of hours.

Zone crossing

Define a zone — a loading bay, a restricted yard, a compound — and get alerted when a vehicle crosses into it.

Real-time alerts

Alerts with a snapshot and location, routed only to the people who look after that site — by email and in-app, plus How alerting works

Searchable event history

Every vehicle event lands in the Detection Center with perimeter and presence events — searchable by camera and date, with event clips where enabled. Investigations

Runs on existing cameras

AI is added to your IP cameras through an on-site Sorveo edge appliance. Switch a camera's AI profile to vehicle — or back — remotely, without a site visit.

Use cases

Where vehicle detection pays off.

Logistics

After-hours yard activity

A truck entering the yard or a van idling by the loading bay at 2am is flagged immediately, not found on Monday.

Oil & gas

Remote sites and access roads

Vehicles approaching unmanned facilities or crossing into restricted compounds raise an alert to the control room.

Residential estates

Gates and perimeter roads

Vehicles idling outside the gate or on perimeter roads at night become visible to the gatehouse in real time.

Retail / Mall

Service yards and car parks

Vehicles in service yards or closed car-park levels outside trading hours are flagged to security.

Government / public

Secure compounds

Any vehicle crossing into a restricted compound zone is logged and alerted, with a searchable record for later review.

Forecourts

Idle and obstruction

Vehicles stopped in drop-off zones, fire lanes or forecourts become an actionable event instead of something noticed too late.

Industries

Deployed wherever vehicles matter.

Frequently asked

Vehicle detection FAQ.

What vehicle activity can Sorveo detect today?

Three kinds of event: a vehicle idling in an area, a vehicle passing a camera, and a vehicle crossing into a zone you define — such as a yard, a loading area or a forecourt after hours.

Do I need new cameras for vehicle detection?

No. Sorveo adds AI to your existing IP cameras through an on-site Sorveo edge appliance. Each camera is given an AI profile — face, presence, perimeter or vehicle — which can be changed remotely without a site visit.

Can I search past vehicle events?

Yes. Vehicle events are logged in the Detection Center alongside perimeter and presence events, searchable by camera and date, with a short event clip where clip review is enabled for your site.
