For Forecourts & Petrol

Forecourts run at night.
Run them with eyes that never blink.

Petrol forecourt security, built for the hours no one's watching. Forecourts carry the highest after-hours risk in UK retail: lone staff, drive-offs, regulated and age-restricted zones. QuantumEye runs on the cameras you already have and is designed to protect the site when it's empty, and the lone worker when it isn't.

Why it matters

Forecourts carry the highest after-hours risk in UK retail, with night-shift staffing thinner than at any other format. QuantumEye delivers real-time AI loss prevention on the cameras you already have, with human review on every consequential action.

The three things operators care about most

Not features. Outcomes.

The conversation with operators in your sector keeps coming back to the same three things.

01

Drive-offs & forecourt theft

Repeat drive-off vehicles can be flagged on entry; evidence packs are assembled automatically for forwarding.

02

Unmanned overnight

After-Hours Guard auto-arms at close. Forced entry triggers an evidence pack and pages the manager; where floodlights or a siren are wired in via an IoT integration, it can trigger those too.

03

Lone-worker safety

The single staff member on a late shift. Restricted-area alerts and fast escalation to a manager. The system is the second pair of eyes.

Last customer leaves. The site arms itself.
After-Hours Guard auto-arms the moment the floor empties. Cameras switch to night-vision profile. Motion and forced-door detection thresholds tighten. No code to remember.

SAFETY

Spirits cage breach.
Safety Events' restricted-zone rule trips when the night-shift staff member, who isn't whitelisted for the cage, opens the door. Flagged, evidenced, duty manager pinged.

Rear exit forced.
After-Hours Guard's forced-entry detection fires. Night-vision face captured, manager paged. Floodlights or a siren can trigger too, where wired in via IoT. Incident Reporting assembles the evidence pack before the phone rings.

FAQ

Questions operators in your sector ask.

What does AI petrol forecourt security actually do about drive-offs?

It detects and evidences; it does not physically stop a vehicle. QuantumEye can flag repeat drive-off vehicles on entry and assemble an evidence pack automatically, so a forecourt incident becomes a report you can forward in minutes rather than hours of CCTV scrubbing. A person reviews every flag before any action is taken.

How does after-hours security work when the forecourt is unmanned overnight?

After-Hours Guard arms automatically the moment the last staff member leaves at close. If it detects forced entry it builds an evidence pack and pages the duty manager, and where floodlights or a siren are wired in via an optional IoT integration, it can trigger those too. Floodlights and sirens are not native to the platform; the software detects, alerts and evidences.

Can it keep a lone forecourt worker safer on a late shift?

It is designed as a second pair of eyes for the single staff member on a night shift, with restricted-area alerts and fast escalation to a manager. It surfaces what's happening for a human to act on; it does not intervene on its own, and it is not a replacement for a panic alarm or a safe-working policy. The phone in their pocket becomes another watchful eye on the site.

Will it run on our existing forecourt CCTV, or do we need new cameras?

It runs on the IP cameras you already have over RTSP or ONVIF, so there is no rip-and-replace of hardware. QuantumEye is a software platform, not a camera vendor, and detection runs on a small edge node in the kiosk so only events leave the site while the continuous camera feed stays on-site. That keeps latency, bandwidth and privacy on your side.

How quickly could we pilot it on our highest-risk site?

A first-store pilot is typically live in around two weeks, on one forecourt, fully featured, and can run against your own anonymised incident history so you can see how it performs on your own footage before committing. Pilots run for 30 days on a 12-month contract with no setup fee, scoped per estate by camera count and module mix.
