GateGuard
by Zervai · Smart Parking Security

Your vehicles are
leaving without you
knowing.

South Africa loses thousands of vehicles to theft every month. GateGuard uses photo-based AI verification to ensure the same driver who parked a car is the one who drives it out — no cards, no clipboards. Just two photos at entry. That's it.

🚨 Vehicle crime in South Africa is out of control.

Car theft, hijacking at parking facilities, and fraudulent vehicle exits cost South Africans billions of rands every year. Traditional paper card systems offer zero real protection — a stolen or fabricated card gets any car out of any gate.

🔴 Over 60,000 vehicles stolen annually in SA 🔴 Parking facilities are high-risk theft zones 🔴 Paper cards are easily lost or fabricated 🔴 Attendants can't verify driver identity manually

Cards don't protect vehicles.
Photos do.

📋

Cards get lost or faked

Anyone with basic materials can fabricate a parking card. Lost cards cause disputes and delays at exit gates — every Sunday, every event.

🔀

Different driver exits unchecked

A criminal parks one vehicle, hands the card to an accomplice who drives it out. Attendants have no way to detect this with paper cards.

🐌

Manual check-out is slow and error-prone

Manually searching for vehicles at exit creates bottlenecks and queues. GateGuard lets attendants match vehicles by photo or plate — whichever is fastest.

📵

No audit trail

When something goes wrong, there is no record — no photos, no timestamps, nothing that could help identify a suspect or resolve a dispute.

At entry, your attendant takes two quick photos — the front of the vehicle and the driver. The AI reads what it needs from the photo automatically, making entry fast and accurate.

At exit, the system can match vehicles by photo or plate number — whichever the attendant prefers. It then checks whether the driver has changed and signals approve or investigate instantly.

🤖

Photo-based AI matching

Advanced image recognition compares vehicle make, model, colour and driver face between entry and exit — instantly.

🔢

3-digit fallback code

If the AI detects a different driver, a unique code issued at entry is required — a second barrier against unauthorised exits.

📡

All gates share one live view

Any vehicle checked in at Gate 1 is instantly visible to Gate 2, Gate 3 — across the whole site in real time.

How it works

Three steps. Any phone.

No hardware to buy. No software to install. Your attendants use the phones they already carry.

01
📲

Attendant opens secure link

Each gate device opens a PIN-protected link in any browser. Works on Android and iPhone. Nothing to download or install.

02
📸

Two photos at entry

Front of the vehicle and the driver's face. No card issued, no form filled. The AI reads what it needs from the photo. Takes under 10 seconds.

03

AI clears the exit

One photo at the gate. The system finds the vehicle, compares the driver, and signals approve or investigate — in seconds.

Features

Built for South African security realities.

Every feature designed around the specific threats and environments our clients face daily.

🤖

Photo-Based AI Matching

The AI compares vehicle make, model, colour, body shape and driver face between entry and exit photos — automatically. Attendants can also search by plate number at check-out for added flexibility.
