Northland Waste operates several refuse stations across New Zealand, providing essential waste management services to the community. Focusing on sustainability and efficiency, the company handles significant volumes of waste daily and invests in infrastructure to ensure smooth operations at its facilities.

The challenge

One of Northland Waste's main transfer refuse stations faced a persistent issue with burglaries. Despite investing in CCTV systems and using mobile apps to receive alerts, the existing setup failed to provide actionable results. Intrusions were detected, but the lack of verified evidence meant that apprehending thieves or preventing repeated incidents was nearly impossible. These challenges led to significant frustration for the management team and left the site vulnerable to further theft.

The solution

United Security Services / Securitronics introduced Northland Waste to Secury360. The S360 box leverages advanced AI technology to detect and visually verify real-time incidents, ensuring quick and accurate responses.

The installation process was straightforward:

• A S360 box was installed and integrated with one of the site's existing cameras.
• The existing camera was already strategically positioned to cover the area where thefts frequently occurred.
• The system was connected to the Securitronics monitoring bureau and Alarm Watch NZ for real-time monitoring and response coordination.

The results

The Secury360 system proved its value on the very night it was installed.‍

• ‍Incident 1: The AI-powered system detected intruders on-site and immediately sent a video verification clip to the monitoring centre. Alarm Watch operators responded by dispatching police and a security team. The intruders were apprehended before they could escape, with video evidence ensuring their capture
• Incident 2:Just two nights later, another attempted burglary was thwarted in the same manner, with authorities quickly intervening and detaining the burglars
