Government
Keeping people and property safe is a challenge for all levels of government across Australia. We work with local, state and federal governments to provide reliable and efficient autonomous sensing, thinking and acting platforms in any location, outperforming expensive and ineffective traditional wired security, safety and sensing measures.
Challenges
Preventing illegal dumping
Illegal dumping is dangerous for the community and the environment. It’s also an ever-increasing expense for government. To deter illegal dumping at known hotspots, we install smart unwired, solar-powered systems with full internet connectivity. They identify people and vehicles, record details, inform authorities and warn off offenders. They help government stop illegal dumping before it happens.
Reducing anti-social crime
Anti-social crime exposes government and community facilities to theft, vandalism, and graffiti. Using advanced camera vision, our intelligent surveillance systems can detect when people should not be present. They respond with floodlighting and automatic spoken messages to alert and deter potential offenders. After receiving an alert, a security team can monitor the vision and call for police or security guards to attend. We help stop crime before it starts.
Responding quickly to bushfire or extreme events
To save lives and protect property, the government needs to deploy a rapid response to a bushfire or extreme event. We install remote, internet-connected surveillance cameras, sensors and speakers in remote areas that sense events and trigger early warning alerts, allowing for the deployment of resources and evacuation of people and livestock, saving lives and preventing catastrophic damage.
Safety, security and sensing at parks
Remote locations with no Wi-Fi or power are difficult and expensive to monitor using conventional wired technology. Our systems use solar power, 4G connectivity and LoRaWAN to enable remote monitoring, sensing and vision allowing for prompt decision making and immediate action.
Detecting beach dangers
With connections to smart drum lines, tagged sharks, tsunami detection systems and seismographs, our sensing technologies create efficient and cost-effective beach warning systems. An early warning system is critical to protect people from a shark attack or give them enough time to get to safety if a tsunami is triggered, saving lives.
Providing 24 x 7 security
We provide tailored security solutions that observe people, government property and assets without the need to have security personnel present at the location or in a control room. Our systems detect when crimes are about to happen or intruders are present. They take automatic action to deter, alert, and record activities, keeping people and property safer.
Expanding existing security solutions
We can integrate out solutions into other 3rd party applications via ONVIF conformant video management systems (VMS) interfacing to systems such as Milestone and Genetec. This allows our hardware platforms (via our cloud software) to be easily integrated with existing wired camera solutions. Totally wire-free, we’ve removed the need for power and internet cabling. Smart data and power management tools ensure that excessive data costs and flat batteries are easily avoided. We offer mobile, trailer and temporary fixed solutions. No matter what the application, we can get the system operational within days, and sometimes within as little as an hour.

STA6
The STA6 system suits government departments and agencies who need a powerful, versatile surveillance system in remote locations and at unpowered and unwired sites. The powerful STA6 uses a solar and battery-powered platform and a wireless internet connection to enable remote monitoring, sensing and vision, that allows the government to sense, think and act to protect people and property.
Case Studies
Stopping theft and vandalism at empty government buildings
A Western Australian government department, responsible for several empty buildings before they were repurposed, renovated or demolished, needed an innovative security system to target thieves, vandals and drug users.
Thieves regularly targeted one building for its copper piping and wiring. Illegal drug consumers also used and vandalised the building.
The WA government department engaged us to provide a combination of optical and thermal camera systems, combined with a monitoring and guard service. In collaboration with the WA government department, we optimised the security solution, minimising the community nuisance and substantially reducing crime.
Shortly after the system became operational, local police arrested an alleged criminal onsite and praised our solution, saying, “The last guys never caught anyone!”
Stopping illegal dumpers at a known dumping ground
A local council found people were illegally dumping household refuse, building waste (including asbestos) and other toxic materials in native bushland.
As well as the environmental damage and loss of amenity for the community, the cost of regularly removing the dumped goods was in the tens of thousands of dollars per year and increasing.
Once a site within the community becomes known as a dumping ground hotspot, it’s hard to shift that perception and it encourages even more illegal dumping.
To help deter potential illegal dumpers, we installed an unwired solar-powered system with full connectivity to the internet that could capture vehicles within the site, including their number plate details.
When the potential offenders realised our security system was recording them, the dumping stopped at that location. There was no need for remediation, prosecution, court time or other remedies. Our security solution saved the council many hours of time and tens of thousands of dollars in remediation services they no longer needed.
