Case Study Challenge - Fly-Tipping and Environmental Crimes
Fly-tipping costs Haringey taxpayers £3million a year to clean up.
To help address the issue, the Council looked to invest in a CCTV system that would both increase surveillance coverage and provide a visual deterrent in the areas most frequently blighted by fly-tipping.
The ideal CCTV system would be rapidly deployable and portable, allowing the council to respond to emerging surveillance requirements in different locations.
The Solution
London Borough of Haringey deployed several WCCTV Redeployable CCTV Cameras in the areas with the highest occurrences of fly-tipping.
Redeployable CCTV cameras are all-in-one surveillance systems that combine an infrared PTZ camera, local recording capacity and wireless transmission technology into a single, lightweight unit.
Additionally, each of the cameras has been fitted with the WCCTV First Responder, an audio voice-down and blue light alarm system that warns any caught fly-tipping that they are being recorded.
As truly redeployable cameras, they can be quickly moved to new locations if the issues in one location are solved or new requirements emerge.
The Result - Prosecutions and Reduced Costs
The cameras have had an immediate impact, helping the Council secure several prosecutions.
Furthermore, utilising the voice down functionality has helped successfully deter instances of fly-tipping, helping to reduce clean up costs and prevent environmental damage.
Given the increase in prosecutions and reduction in clean-up costs, the cameras were described by Council Chiefs as having "paid for themselves".
