A system for monitoring activity at a vehicle fuelling station comprises first camera 1 to monitor entrance point A and to automatically detect the registration number upon an arriving vehicle. A second camera 2 is positioned to supervise the forecourt area while the driver uses one of several pumps 3 to dispense fuel into the vehicle. Upon departure of the vehicle without payment at the kiosk 4 being made, processing means are arranged to notify the station attendant of a 'drive-off' event, upon which images from both cameras and vehicles registration details are recorded to provide a report. The system is able to compare detected registration numbers with those stored in a database to identify vehicles previously associated with drive-off events, upon which the attendant is alerted to take action to disable the appropriate pump or require payment in advance. The system may be linked to similar systems at other stations to enable sharing and uploading of reports on a secure server. |
