From live video to security action

PARVEK turns live camera feeds into actionable security intelligence. Its AI capabilities are designed to detect what matters, understand context and help security teams respond.

Capability reference

Each capability states what it does, where it helps, a real example and the response that can be configured for it. Not every capability is enabled on every deployment.

Evidence
Snapshot + clip retained on the appliance
Alert & action
Allowed in window · restricted outside it
Detects
Enrolled people, so the staff and contractors who belong there are known rather than flagged.
Where it helps
Main gate, reception, lobby and floor entrances.
Example
A regular contractor arrives at 9 AM and is recognized instead of raising an intruder alert.
Configurable response
Named event · silent log entry · notification where you want one.
Person Re-Identification
Detects
The same person across cameras and over time, without relying on a clear face in every frame.
Where it helps
Multi-camera sites where someone moves between areas — corridors, yards, floors.
Example
A visitor enters at reception and is followed through to a restricted corridor as one event, not five.
Configurable response
Events linked into a single visit · the path through the site available as evidence.
Vehicle Identification
Detects
Vehicle attributes — type, and where the camera supports it, distinguishing characteristics.
Where it helps
Gates, weighbridges, parking and dispatch.
Example
A truck returns to the dock twice in a shift when the paperwork shows one visit.
Configurable response
Vehicle events with the frame · gate log for review.
License Plate Recognition
Detects
The number plate of a vehicle, read and logged against the crossing.
Where it helps
Gates, parking entries and dispatch, where the camera, lens, angle and lighting suit plate capture.
Example
A vehicle enters at night and you need the plate, not just a count and a frame.
Configurable response
Plate logged with the entry · searchable gate log · alert on a listed plate where configured.
Behavior & Context Analysis
Detects
How a person is moving — lingering, pacing, approaching a boundary — rather than only that they are present.
Where it helps
Perimeters, racks, ATMs, entrances and quiet corridors where presence alone is not the signal.
Example
Someone waits beside the boundary for several minutes without approaching the gate.
Configurable response
Escalating alert once your time threshold is met · voice warning · evidence clip.

Where it helps
Entrances, visitor areas and any zone with a named list of who may enter.
Example
A barred former contractor returns to the site and is matched at the gate.
Configurable response

Siren & Speaker Integration
Detects
Not a detection — the response. A voice warning or audible alarm driven by the event.
Where it helps
The specific area that was breached, rather than across the whole site.
Example
The speaker in that room challenges the person while they are still standing there.
Configurable response
Local voice warning · recorded or live talk-down · audible escalation where the site permits it.
Floodlight & Response Integration
Detects
Not a detection — lights and other devices switched by the appliance when a rule matches.
Where it helps
Perimeters, yards, driveways and any dark area where light is both deterrent and evidence.
Example
The area lights up as someone crosses the boundary, and the camera gets a usable image.
Configurable response
Light or floodlight on · relay-driven devices switched · all logged against the event.

A camera records the room. A zone watches it.

Your store rooms, server or records room, plant rooms and entrances are already on camera. What is missing is a rule: which area, during which hours, and who is allowed in it. PARVEK marks each one as a zone and alerts the security desk the moment it is broken — not three weeks later when someone reviews the footage.

Rule part 01 Area

A polygon drawn on the camera view — the racks or the cabinet, not the whole frame.

Rule part 02 Permitted hours

Working hours, night only, or always.

Rule part 03 Who is allowed

Enrolled staff only, a named list, or nobody after hours.

Result Named alert

Security desk, in seconds, with the clip — and the area can answer back with voice and light.

Zones we set up on day one

Every zone is marked with your team during the assessment.

Zone Watched for Severity Configured response
Store, Inventory & Pharmacy Stock racks, medicine store, equipment cage Entry outside permitted hours · a person at the racks who is not enrolled staff · loitering at the racks Critical Local voice warning · mobile alert · evidence clip
Server Room, Records & Cash Office Staff-only, named-list rooms Entry outside permitted hours · an enrolled person not on that room’s list · prolonged loitering Critical Mobile alert to security desk · evidence clip
Plant & Utility Rooms DG, electrical panels, oxygen manifold, boiler Flame or smoke near the plant · unauthorized presence in the room Critical Mobile alert · evidence clip · maintenance notified
Work Areas, Wards & Corridors Shop floor, ICU approach, office floor A person without required PPE · a person down on the floor · crowding beyond the set limit · an unfamiliar person in a staff-only corridor High Voice reminder in the zone · supervisor alert · compliance report
Main Gate, Lobby & Reception Entry, visitor area, casualty entrance A face on the banned list · an unknown person after hours · vehicles and people in and out · attendance events High Alert with matched photo · vehicle log · attendance report
Loading Dock & Dispatch Trucks, boxes, receiving, stores exit Goods moving out outside dispatch hours · unfamiliar person at the dock · box count that does not match the note High Mobile alert · evidence clip · dispatch report

Restricted zone breached — what the area does

Off-limits to everyone in those hours, staff included.

  1. 0s Detected

    A person inside a restricted zone, outside permitted hours.

  2. +2s Local voice warning

    The speaker in that area challenges them — nowhere else.

  3. +3s Light in that area

    The zone lights up. They know they have been seen.

  4. +5s Silent alert + clip

    Security desk and management. Siren and floodlight only where the site permits.

Detection is only the first step

An alert on a phone is not much use at 3 AM if nothing happens on site. PARVEK can trigger the response the premises allows — a voice warning in that area, the light, the siren — and keep the evidence either way.

  1. AI detects On the appliance
  2. Voice warning In that area
  3. Floodlight / siren Where permitted
  4. Mobile alert With the frame
  5. Evidence Clip kept on site

Speaker / Voice Warning

A local warning in the area that was breached — challenging the person where they are, not across the whole site.

Siren / Hooter

Audible escalation where the site permits it, linked to confirmed events rather than every movement.

Floodlight / Light

The area lights up as configured, deterring the person and giving the camera a usable image.

Mobile Alert

A notification to the security desk, owner or management with the frame that triggered it.

Evidence Clip

The video around the event, kept on the appliance for verification and follow-up.

Reports

Compliance, attendance, counting and operational records available from the console.

Response devices are installed and configured per site. Sirens and floodlights are used only where the premises permits them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all of these available on every deployment?

No, and that is deliberate. Capabilities are selected per site during the assessment and configured at commissioning — a home runs a handful, a plant may use all three groups. Several depend on camera placement, lens and lighting to work well, which is part of what the assessment establishes.

Can we add capabilities later?

Yes. Once the cameras and the appliance are in, additional capabilities are a configuration change rather than new hardware — subject to the cameras covering the right areas well enough.

How accurate is the detection?

Accuracy depends on the camera, the lighting, the angle and the scene. That is why deployments start with an assessment and end with tuning on your own footage rather than a benchmark. AI surveillance and analytics are technology-assisted and do not guarantee prevention or detection of every security incident or 100% accuracy.

Does face recognition mean our data goes somewhere?

No. Enrolled faces, clips and reports are held on the appliance inside your premises, and users and roles control who can see what. Biometric regulation varies by jurisdiction, so confirm your obligations with counsel — the system is useful with recognition disabled, using areas, timing and person detection alone.

What triggers a physical response rather than just an alert?

You decide, per area. A common configuration is a local voice warning and light in the area that was breached, with a silent alert and clip to the desk — keeping sirens and floodlights for the perimeter and only where the site permits them.

AI surveillance and analytics are technology-assisted and do not guarantee prevention or detection of every security incident or 100% accuracy.

Which of these does your site need?

Schedule a site assessment. We walk the premises, mark the areas that need rules with your team, and recommend the capabilities worth enabling — and the ones that are not.
