Vehicle Log: every vehicle, described and logged

Vehicle Log is a Svid check that logs every vehicle your cameras see, by description: what type, what colour, when it arrived, where it went. Deliveries, contractors, and the white van at the loading dock after hours all become searchable entries instead of unwatched footage. It reads no number plates and needs no ANPR hardware.


What it does

Svid already reads every frame of your footage and describes what's happening in it. Vehicle Log is a paid check over those descriptions that turns the vehicles in those frames into a log: a blue tipper at the gate at 07:42, a courier van at the front at 11:15, a white van at the loading dock after 6pm. Each entry links to the footage it came from. Worth saying plainly and early: vehicles are logged by description and activity, not by number plate. There's no ANPR here, which also means no plate database to secure.

Questions it answers

  • White van at the loading dock after 6pm
  • Deliveries to the rear gate this week
  • The red car that's been parked by the fence for three days

These are typed into the search bar, not scrubbed for. A question that used to mean an evening with the export now takes about as long as typing the sentence.

What an alert looks like

The log is the product, but notable activity can alert too. "White van at the loading dock, 18:22, outside delivery hours" lands on screen and by email with a description and a link to the moment, or as a JSON webhook into whatever runs the yard.

Where it runs

Like every check, Vehicle Log is switched on per camera, so the gate and the dock can be on while the staff car park stays off, if that's what you want. It works on RTSP feeds from an existing recorder, on uploaded files, on video URLs, and on a live phone camera covering a temporary entrance. Recorded footage works too, so last month's deliveries can be reconstructed after the fact rather than only watched going forward.

What it costs

There's no rate card. The Store prices Vehicle Log from your own usage before you buy, shown as '+$X/mo at your usage' next to the check. It's added to a monthly subscription priced from your own usage with a $9 a month floor, and the whole derivation is on screen at signup. The pricing section walks through the arithmetic.

Does it read number plates?
No. There's no ANPR and no plate recognition. Vehicles are logged by description, type, colour and activity, which answers most operational questions without a registration database.
Can I find one specific vehicle?
Describe it in plain English, "white van at the loading dock after 6pm", and you get the moments it appears, in seconds.
Does it work at night or in bad weather?
It works on whatever your cameras can see. If the camera shows the vehicle, the log can describe it.
