Pain points

The challenge

Sound familiar? These are the problems our customers bring to us every week.

Smoking or phone use on a forecourt is one spark away from disaster.

Fuel theft and drive-offs are hard to prove without clear evidence.

A single attendant working at night is vulnerable and exposed.

Solution overview

How this solution works

Enforce the no-smoking and no-phone rules that decide whether a forecourt is safe, and protect the shop and cash area after dark.

Every XCAN AI Box runs its algorithms on the edge, which means detection continues even when the network does not. Existing cameras are reused, alerts are verified with snapshots and clips, and all events land in one management console.

Smart Gas Station Safety - AI video analytics deployment

How it works

Deployment in four steps

From the cameras you already own to a fully monitored site - typically inside one week.

Enforce forecourt rules

Smoking and phone-use detection with an immediate audio warning at the pump.

Detect fire early

Video smoke and flame detection covering the forecourt and tank area.

Protect the shop

Intrusion, loitering and fight detection in the shop, back office and cash area.

Capture every vehicle

LPR records every plate for drive-off investigation and fleet-account reconciliation.

Algorithm library

AI algorithms used in this solution

Each algorithm can be enabled per channel, per schedule, with its own sensitivity and alarm rule.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will audio warnings annoy customers?

Alerts are targeted: a short automated message plays only when the specific violation is detected, and the threshold is fully configurable.

Can the box work without internet?

Yes. All forecourt analysis runs on the edge box, so enforcement and recording continue even if the site link drops.
