Fly-tipping cameras that deter first, and convict when they must
Most CCTV records a crime happening. Ours is designed to stop it happening, and when someone tips anyway, to make sure it's the most expensive mistake of their year. Here's the full process, from site survey to cost recovery.
-
Free site assessment
We visit your land, identify tipping hotspots and access routes, and design a deterrent plan: camera positions, fields of view, and where signage will be seen before a vehicle commits. We also complete the privacy groundwork, a data protection impact assessment covering camera siting, so monitoring is proportionate and lawful from day one.
-
Fit-and-forget installation
Our cameras are solar-powered with battery backup, no mains supply, no trenching, no generator. They mount to existing posts, poles or trees and connect over mobile networks. Installation typically takes a single visit, and there's nothing for you to maintain, charge or check.
-
Prominent deterrent signage
Highly visible signs go up at every access point, configured to your site, including its what3words location and camera ID. The message is blunt: recorded already, in HD, from the moment you arrived. Deterrence does most of the work; across our first 30 sites, the overwhelming majority of would-be tippers simply stopped coming.
-
AI detection, human judgement, 24/7
On-camera AI flags vehicle entries, loitering and unloading behaviour in real time, day and night. Every alert is reviewed by our monitoring team, so you're not woken by a badger, and a tipper doesn't slip through. Genuine incidents are escalated immediately and you're notified.
-
Evidence capture to police standard
When an incident happens, the system has already captured what a case needs: timestamped HD footage of the act, the vehicle, and its registration plate. Our founders spent their police careers building waste-crime files; we package evidence with continuity and disclosure in mind, ready for the council, the Environment Agency or civil proceedings.
-
Enforcement and cost recovery
We don't stop at handing over a memory card. We support prosecution by the relevant authority, where offences carry unlimited fines, up to five years' imprisonment and vehicle seizure, and pursue civil recovery of your clearance costs from identified offenders. Across our first 30 sites, clients recovered their clearance costs through legal action.*
*Based on results across our first 30 monitored sites, Q1 2026. Cost recovery achieved through successful legal action against identified offenders; outcomes depend on the evidence in each case.
The sign does the heavy lifting
Fly-tipping is a crime of confidence: offenders pick sites where they believe nobody is watching and nothing will follow. Our signage removes that belief at the gateway, naming the technology, the monitoring, the penalties, and the exact location they're standing on. It's configured per site and per client, in day and night-visible variants.

Lawful surveillance, by design
CCTV footage of identifiable people is personal data. We operate registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and we follow the principles of the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice: cameras sited proportionately, clear signage, limited retention, secure storage, and footage used only for the purpose it was collected, catching fly-tippers.
