Scrap metal and recycling yards are typically located in remote areas away from the big cities. These sites are also very large in size and are hard to secure from intruders. It’s difficult and costly to design and install a typical security system that will encompass the entire site.
Just like copper tubing and wire, scrap metal is also a popular theft item. It’s so easy for intruders to enter scrap and recycling yards without being noticed. With piles of scrap metal everywhere, it’s difficult for CCTV cameras to be mounted in enough locations to provide full security coverage.
Scrap metal at these sites may also be moved frequently. Piles of scrap metal may be combined to make more room for scrap being delivered. These piles may then be moved closer to the area where the recycling process occurs. It’s not only difficult to move CCTV cameras, it can become quite costly. A major advantage of the Videofied monitored security system is that it’s easy to relocate the MotionViewers. Since these units can be powered by batteries, there’s no worries about getting a power line to each new location.
This verified video security system only needs a cell signal so that it can transmit videos to the manned monitoring system where the video is immediately viewed for verification. Once the event is verified as a true event, local authorities are notified. Police and local authorities quickly respond when they learn of a verified video event.
