Who this pack is for
Fuel and cargo theft costs commercial fleets billions every year — and it happens exactly where a normal dashcam can't help you: in a dark yard, overnight, with the engine off and the camera asleep. By the time anyone notices, the fuel is gone and the footage is useless.
- A tank drains overnight at a truck stop or depot — outside siphoning at a parked stop, or inside skimming by a driver — and nothing on the truck was awake to catch it.
- Cargo, tools, or catalytic converters walk off a parked vehicle between the last drop-off and the morning shift.
- You have a dashcam, but it powers down with the ignition — so the exact hours theft happens are the exact hours you're blind.
- When you do have footage, it's grainy or black — a smudge of movement that won't identify anyone or hold up in a claim.
- You get buried in false alerts all night — a passing animal, headlights, rain — so you stop trusting the alerts entirely.
Sentinel was built for exactly this window — parked, dark, engine off — and everything in this pack maps to one of those five.
| Best fit | Fuel distributors, owner-operators, construction, agriculture, last-mile, any fleet parking loaded or full-tank overnight |
| Anchor product | Sentinel (S5) — standalone Always-on Video asset-security camera |
| Where it mounts | Cab roof forward-facing, or on the fuel tank / cargo door / tool bay — multiple units per truck |
| Defining reality | Most theft is overnight, unattended, in the dark — the one moment traditional cameras stop recording |
Two technologies. Two blind spots.
Every option on the market forces the same trade-off: see clearly, or last the night — never both. Video cameras give forensic clarity but drain the battery in hours. Sensor-based trackers last for weeks but capture no evidence. Plot the two and the hole is obvious: nothing lived in the top-right corner, so Sentinel was built for it.
Clarity — but no endurance
- Forensic-grade footage
- Power down with the ignition
- Blind exactly when theft happens
Endurance — but no evidence
- Run for weeks on low power
- Tell you something happened
- Can't show you who did it
Forensic clarity at sensor power
- Full-color evidence in near-total dark
- Up to 90-day standby, engine off
- The data tells you what — the video shows you who
The camera that never sleeps
Anchor SKU · Sentinel (S5)The industry's first Always-on Video camera — the forensic clarity of a camera at the power budget of a sensor. 4G, GNSS, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, onboard storage and I/O are integrated into one compact, magnetic unit. No separate recorder. No wiring maze into the cab. Nothing extra to buy.
Six ways Sentinel protects your fleet
Always-on Video
24/7 recording, engine on or off. Your asset is never unwatched — day, night, parked or moving. Up to 90-day standby at roughly 400 mW.
Intent-Aware AI
Posture-level threat detection tells a passer-by from a thief. You get an alert only when it's real — not every time a leaf moves or headlights sweep past.
Black Light Ultra
Full-color forensic footage in near-total darkness — at 0.02 lux, where phones and standard cameras see only black. Faces, clothing, actions: court-ready.
All-in-One Design
4G · GNSS · Wi-Fi/BT · onboard storage · I/O + RS-232 in one unit. No recorder, no add-ons, no clutter in the cab, no second SIM.
IoT Sensor Fusion
Fuel, tire-pressure, temperature and cargo-door sensors flow into one alert stream — and every alert arrives with Sentinel video attached.
Minutes to Install
A magnetic, tool-free mount snaps onto any steel surface. Any driver can deploy or reposition it — a fleet-wide rollout in an afternoon, no drilling.
It doesn't just see. It understands intent.
Motion alone is noise — animals, headlights, rain, a passer-by. Sentinel reads body posture and behaviour, so it can tell someone walking past your truck from someone working at your fuel tank. That's the difference between an alert you trust and an inbox you mute.
Walking past · running by · wandering around
- Ordinary movement is ignored
- This is what buries most systems in false alarms all night
- Your phone stays quiet — and stays trusted
Stopping at the tank · reaching · lingering
- The behaviour — not the movement — makes it a threat
- Fires only when it's real
- Every alert arrives with the footage — the evidence itself, not a ping to go investigate
The truck is in the yard. You're not.
When Sentinel decides a behaviour is suspicious, the alert is on your phone in seconds — with the footage already attached. No logging in, no hunting for the clip. Plate, location and video arrive together, ready to forward to your team, your insurer, or the police.
| 1 · Sentinel decides it's real | Posture-level AI filters out the passer-by, the animal, the headlights — before you're ever notified. |
| 2 · The alert leaves over 4G | No gateway, no separate telematics box. The camera sends it itself, wherever the truck is parked. |
| 3 · You get the evidence, not a ping | Location, plate and the full-color clip arrive together — saved and shareable with your fleet team in one tap. |
What's in the pack
One anchor device does the work of a recorder, a tracker, and a night-vision camera — then optional IoT sensors turn it into full asset awareness.

Why each capability is essential
| Always-on Video | Theft happens overnight, parked, engine off — the exact window a conventional dashcam is powered down. Only an Always-on camera at sensor-class power (~400 mW, up to 90 days) records through it. |
| Black Light Ultra | A dark yard is 0.02 lux. Standard cameras record a black frame or an unidentifiable smudge. Full-color forensic footage is what turns "something moved" into "here's who did it" — evidence that holds up in a claim. |
| Intent-Aware AI | An overnight system that cries wolf gets muted by week two. Posture-level detection means the alerts you get are the ones that matter — which is the only way alerting stays useful. |
| All-in-One device | 4G, GNSS, Wi-Fi/BT, storage and I/O in one magnetic unit means no recorder to wire into the cab and no second SIM — which is what makes a minutes-long, driver-installable rollout possible. |
| IoT sensor fusion | The fuel/door/tire/temperature sensors tell you what happened; the Sentinel video shows you who. Fused into one alert stream, every event arrives as proof, not a question. |
| Tool-free magnetic mount | No drilling, no installer visit, no cable to the cab. Any driver can snap it on or reposition it — the reason a whole fleet can be protected in an afternoon. |
Optional add-ons
| Additional Sentinel units | Deploy one per vulnerable zone — fuel tank, cargo door, tool bay — all merging into one alert stream in the platform. |
| Tire-pressure sensors | Per-axle pressure and temperature, paired into the same Sentinel stream for cold-morning and long-haul monitoring. |
| Temperature & humidity sensor | Add for cold-chain cargo holds — pairs over Bluetooth, video attached to every excursion alert. |
| Cargo-hold interior camera | Add a second Sentinel inside the box for full interior coverage of high-value loads. |
Not a simulation. Real thefts, really caught.
Sentinel is already running on customer fleets across Africa and the Middle East. These are two of the events it caught — timestamped, GPS-tagged, and handed to the customer as evidence.
An employee siphoning fuel
- Ampenet · Tanzania
- Caught in the first month on the vehicle
- The customer went from 2 test units to 17 — and now markets Sentinel in their own region
Theft stopped at the tank
- Texas · Kenya deployments
- On one truck, monthly fuel losses fell from $206 to $5
- Rapid payback — a single stopped theft covers the unit
Three roles. One pack.
Fleet owner / operator
- Alerts on your phone in seconds — with the clip attached
- Fuel-drain and cargo-breach events stopped in the act, not discovered next morning
- Rapid payback — a single stopped theft can cover the device
- No wiring, no installer bill, no ongoing SD-card chasing
Insurer & broker
- Court-ready, full-color, timestamped, GPS-tagged evidence
- Faster claim resolution and clearer liability
- Demonstrable, always-on theft deterrence on the asset
- Data + video packaged together, ready to forward

- Runs on the truck battery — nothing to plug in every night
- One device, no clutter across the cab
The three-line summary
- Fuel and cargo theft happens where you can't see it — overnight, parked, engine off, in the dark — the one window a normal dashcam is asleep. By the time you notice, the fuel is gone and the footage is useless.
- The Fuel & Cargo Theft Pack is built around Sentinel: Always-on Video for up to 90 days engine-off, Black Light Ultra full-color at 0.02 lux, intent-aware AI that alerts only on real threats, all-in-one 4G/GNSS in a tool-free magnetic unit, with fuel/door/tire/temperature sensors fused into one alert stream. Request a quote — a single stopped theft can pay for the device.
- Every other option makes you choose between clarity and endurance. Sentinel is the only one built for the top-right corner — forensic clarity at the power budget of a sensor. That's why it's the anchor of this pack.
