How EPIC iO helped a California City cut its $1 million illegal dumping problem in half

By implementing multiple cameras, sensors, and Universal IoT Gateways across known problem areas, one California city cut its illegal dumping problem in half. Over a 7-year period, the city reduced illegal dumping by an average of 30-50%, resulting in a $450,000 per year budget reduction.
Increased fines
The city also implemented a $500 to $2,000 fine per criminal offense which deterred illegal dumping and drove a new revenue stream for the city, as offenses were proven using EPIC iO saved data.
Reduced patrol hours
The EPIC iO solution even reduced the number of annual patrol hours needed in problem areas by 4,500.
SOLUTION COMPONENTS

SOLAR TRAILERS
Freely place the cameras and UIG in remote locations, even with poor lighting. With the ability to analyze data at the edge, you can gather information on hundreds of dumpers an hour.

SOLAR CAMERAS
These mobile cameras are the perfect solution for dump sites with only a handful of visitors. Easily gather information that is relayed back to DeepInsights. Not getting any dumpers? You can simply move this camera to a new location.

CAMERAS
Together with sensors, cameras use EPIC iO’s DeepInsights AI software to record and tag data and deliver real-time feedback and actionable alerts.

UNIVERSAL IoT GATEWAY
UiG with edge compute, and AI hardware acceleration allows DeepInsights to process data at the edge in real-time.

DEEPINSIGHTS TM
Connected DeepInsights AI technology integrates with other platforms to ingest, store and visualize data, and process alerts in real-time.

SENSORS
IoT-enabled sensors and processors collect visual data for sharing.
