Video intelligence on your existing camera infrastructure.
SONAR brings custom artificial intelligence to your already-installed CCTV to identify security risks, HSE events, and operational non-compliance in real time, with no need to replace equipment.
The analytics embedded in manufacturer cameras and appliances are generic, closed, and costly. They detect only what the manufacturer predefined, not what each operation actually requires. Customization is unfeasible or economically prohibitive, and every additional capability demands new investment in proprietary hardware.
Generic detections
Investment in equipment translates into generic detections of little operational value.
Rigid rules
Rules cannot be tuned to the zones, shifts, or real-world scenarios of the operation.
Single-vendor dependence
Analytics capability remains locked to a single hardware provider.
A video analytics platform that adapts to the operation.
SONAR is SUMāTO's intelligent video surveillance platform. It integrates with your existing cameras and video management systems through open standards (ONVIF/RTSP), runs artificial intelligence models trained specifically for each operation, and generates real-time alerts. It is hardware-agnostic, fully configurable, and operated locally by SUMāTO.
Four reasons to choose SONAR.
Customization
Models and rules designed specifically for the operation, not predefined analytics.
Full independence
Camera- and VMS-agnostic: reuse the installed infrastructure without being locked to a manufacturer or platform.
Cost efficiency
No camera replacement and no proprietary appliance purchases.
Local operation
Deployment, tuning, and support from SUMāTO in the region.
Four layers: from the camera to the decision.
SONAR is more than analytics: it covers ingestion, intelligence, response automation, and end-to-end management.
On the installed infrastructure
- Connects to existing cameras via ONVIF/RTSP, multi-brand
- Interoperates with the installed VMS without replacing them
- Scalable ingestion across multiple sites and thousands of cameras
- Video processing at the edge and in the cloud
Models trained to the operation
- Analytics customizable by scenario, zones, PPE, and behavior
- Detection of objects, people, vehicles, and behavior
- License plate recognition (LPR) and facial recognition*
- People counting, occupancy, and heat maps
From detection to action
- Zones, schedules, thresholds, and per-camera rules
- Automatic escalation, notification, and response workflows
- Point-of-sale (POS) integration: reconciliation and fraud prevention
- Fewer false alarms through context-aware rules
One console for the entire operation
- Centralized console with dashboards and multi-site monitoring
- Forensic event search and post-incident video review
- Multichannel alerts and integration with alarm and access control
- Audit, logging, and traceability of events and access
*Facial recognition operates in accordance with the applicable privacy and data protection legal framework.
From camera to alert, in three steps.
Integration
SONAR connects to the existing cameras and VMS through ONVIF/RTSP.
Configuration
Detections, zones, schedules, and rules are defined to match the operation.
Detection and response
Real-time alerts to the responsible teams, with dashboards and traceability.
One platform, multiple risk fronts.
Occupational health and safety
- Personnel without a hard hat or PPE in mandatory zones
- Person down (man-down)
- Dangerous proximity to forklifts or machinery
- Access to a restricted, energized, or LOTO zone
Protection of people and facilities
- Perimeter intrusion during unauthorized hours
- Prolonged loitering at ATMs or sensitive areas
- Fight, scuffle, or assault
- Abandoned object or suspicious package
- Weapon-type object detection
- Tailgating and suspicious gestures
Operations and loss prevention
- Shelf theft patterns
- POS-to-video reconciliation (checkout fraud prevention)
- People counting and heat maps
- Shelf out-of-stock
Mobility and public space
- License plate recognition (LPR) and vehicle flow
- Fare evasion at turnstiles and access points
- Occupancy and crowding on platforms and at events
Protocol and compliance
- Use of mobile devices in prohibited zones
- Verification of health protocols and PPE
Your case, trained to fit
If the risk that matters to you isn't on the list, we train for it: SONAR configures the detection to your real scenario, your zones, and your shifts.
With applications in manufacturing, energy, retail, logistics, transportation, and government, among other sectors where operations and security coexist every day.
Compatible with your installed infrastructure.
SONAR works with the market's leading IP camera brands through ONVIF/RTSP, and with the most widely used video management systems.
A capability delivered by consultants, not a box.
SONAR is not just an analytics install: SUMāTO designs, integrates, and operates the video analytics capability on your operation, with the same discipline we bring to enterprise architecture and digital transformation.
Initial discovery
We assess cameras, network, risks, and priority use cases before proposing a single detection.
Integration on what's installed
We design the integration with your CCTV, VMS, and network on open standards, without replacing equipment.
Custom models
We train and tune the detections to your real scenarios, zones, and shifts.
Phased implementation
Deployment with project governance (PMI and agile) and measurable early results.
Managed operation
Monitoring, tuning, and continuous improvement as a service, with local support.
Privacy and compliance
Traceability, access control, and video handling in accordance with applicable regulations.
Why SONAR, and not catalog analytics.
No per-detection manufacturer licenses
Add analytics without paying for the closed catalog or the camera vendor's proprietary appliances.
New capabilities without buying hardware
An additional detection is configuration and software, not a new investment in equipment.
One platform, multiple brands
Unify cameras from different manufacturers under a single console through ONVIF/RTSP.
Data and support in-country
Local 24×7 operation, with video kept under the control of your own infrastructure.
Processing where the operation needs it.
Edge processing for real-time analysis, complemented by the SUMāTO cloud for centralized management. Full on-premise deployment is also supported.
Edge
Real-time analysis next to the cameras, with the lowest latency for critical detection.
SUMāTO Cloud
Centralized management, dashboards, traceability, and administration of rules and models.
On-premise
Full deployment inside the client's infrastructure when the operation requires it.
A subscription that scales with your operation.
A recurring subscription per camera or analyzed stream and per active analytic, with editions that adapt to the size of the operation. SUMāTO bundles the professional services—design, deployment, model training, and ongoing operation—into a single agreement. No per-detection manufacturer licenses and no proprietary appliances: adding an analytic is software and configuration, not a new hardware purchase.
Results that speak for the platform.
The voice of those already operating with SONAR
We share references by role and industry during the commercial process, in accordance with each client's confidentiality agreements.
Impact measured in operation
We present validated detection and response metrics from comparable operations during the evaluation phase.
