Resolution Required-Stop Illegal Dumping
Excellent picture quality and resolution is required to stop illegal dumping.
Not all cameras are the same since they are designed with different goals. Even security cameras differ because they are created with different purposes.
People that work with tools will tell you not to use a wrench when a hammer is needed. Not all tools are created equal.
To stop illegal dumping, the implementation of an Illegal Dumping Enforcement Program is required. The success of the program depends on multiple city departments working together with one department to take the lead. This can be difficult as each department may not consider the Illegal Dumping Enforcement Program important and therefore place the work needed at a low priority.
Here are some key elements in a successful Illegal Dumping Enforcement Program:
- Legislation is needed to implement illegal dumping laws with fierce fines.
- Education is needed to reach the community with many different sources, such as schools, public events, and social media.
- A dedicated staff is needed to ensure the success of the program and keep it focused.
- An Enforcement staff is needed to make sure the fines set in place are not idle threats.
- Camera Systems specifically designed to stop illegal dumping are needed to truly be successful.
So why does it matter what camera system?
First, Illegal dumping occurs in remote areas where there is limited electricity and internet connection. Therefore, any camera requiring electricity or internet connection will not work or the expense to bring electricity and internet the dumping site is too costly.
Second, dump sites are constantly moving. Therefore, a camera system must be easily deployed and be able to be moved quickly.
Third, some dumping vandals go to great lengths to not be discovered and will steal or vandalize camera systems they find. Therefore, the camera system must be vandal and theft resistant.
Lastly, evidence collected to convict, must be able to stand up in court. Therefore, the camera system must be tamper-proof and provide clear images of superior quality and resolution. Any doubt created in court will upend any conviction being sought.
