An alarm tells you something happened. The camera covering that area is what tells you what happened. These are the event sources PARVEK can put a picture against — and, just as importantly, where video genuinely helps and where it is only supplementary.
Which of these apply to your site depends on what you run, where your cameras are pointed and what they can resolve. That is what the site survey is for — it establishes the real answer per camera before anything is proposed or bought.
A door event records the credential. The camera covering that door recorded the person. PARVEK brings the two together so you can see who was actually there, match them against the badge holder and keep the footage with the event. What a given access system can hand over is established during onboarding, against the platform you already run.

PARVEK watches the same areas on camera, raises its own event with the frame that caused it, and can respond in that area while it is happening. Where coverage exists, the camera view is what turns a state change into a decision.
See how PARVEK supports this workflowBoundaries are drawn on the camera view with the hours they are off limits. A person inside one becomes an event with the frame attached, and the area can be lit and challenged over the speaker. What a camera can resolve at the distance involved, especially after dark, is the thing that decides whether this works — which is what the survey measures.
See how PARVEK supports this workflowPARVEK reads standard RTSP and ONVIF streams, directly or through your existing recorder, and the recorder keeps recording exactly as before. Detections are raised with the frame and the clip, so review and investigation start from the event rather than from a timeline.
See how PARVEK supports this workflowOn a plant, the cameras are usually already there and nobody has the capacity to watch them. PARVEK raises its own events from those cameras — a person in a plant room out of hours, movement on a conveyor run, occupancy in a bay. Bringing in alerts from a control system is worked out against the specific system during the survey rather than assumed.
See how PARVEK supports this workflowWhen someone raises an alarm, the people responding need to see the area immediately. PARVEK provides the camera context for human review and escalation, and SOS can be raised from the mobile app with live view attached.
See how PARVEK supports this workflowVideo is supplementary here, and only useful where a camera actually covers the area concerned. Where it does, the picture tells whoever is responding what they are walking into. Where it does not, the survey says so rather than leaving you to discover it later.
Certified life-safety detection stays authoritative, always. PARVEK is not a substitute for a fire panel or a certified detector and must never be deployed as one. What it can add is visual context around an area during an event, and visible flame or smoke detected in a camera view as a supplementary signal alongside — never instead of — certified detection.
Vehicles detected, counted and timestamped at gates, in yards and across parking areas, each event carrying the frame behind it. Useful both as a security event and as an operational record of what moved and when.
See how PARVEK supports this workflowThese support visual review and faster human response; they are not a replacement for safety procedures or for certified safety devices. PPE and person-down detection depend heavily on camera placement and on the area being clearly visible, which the survey establishes per camera.

See what crossed the line, while it is still happening — with the frame, the clip and a response in the area itself.

Every event arrives with the frame that caused it, in a queue your team can work — acknowledge, resolve or escalate.
There is no useful way to answer "will this work for us" from a feature list. The site survey establishes your cameras, areas, hours and the events you are trying to catch. The proof of concept then runs it on your own footage, so what you are judging is your site rather than someone else's demo.
No. Most sites start with two or three — usually a perimeter or restricted area, an entrance, and the events that are currently being missed overnight. The survey establishes which ones actually matter at your site rather than switching everything on.
Then the useful question is which camera covers the area that system is protecting. PARVEK raises its own events from those cameras, so you get a picture of the area regardless. Reading events out of another system is worked out against that specific system during the survey.
It can show you what the camera saw, which is usually enough to decide what to do. It is not a guarantee: if the footage is inconclusive — the area is dark, the angle is wrong, the subject is out of frame — then it is inconclusive, and we would rather tell you that than claim otherwise.
No. Certified life-safety detection stays authoritative. PARVEK adds visual context around an area; it is not a certified detector and must not be deployed as a substitute for one.
Start with the site survey. It covers your cameras, their placement and lighting, the areas you care about and the events you are actually trying to catch. From there a proof of concept runs it on your own footage. Ask at contact@parvek.ai if you want to talk it through first.
