STOP ILLEGAL DUMPING
Fly Tipping Cameras and Surveillance
Monitored 4G cameras from Pride Monitoring that deter illegal dumping and capture the evidence needed to take action.
THE PROBLEM
Why fly-tipping needs a surveillance solution
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence, but for the owner of the land it often lands as a cost. Waste dumped on private land is usually the landowner's responsibility to clear, and repeat dumping at the same gateway, yard or lay-by can quickly become expensive. Without evidence, it is very difficult to identify who is responsible.
Our fly tipping cameras are designed to change that. Positioned to watch the places where dumping happens, they detect vehicles and people, record what happens and send notifications to nominated people or companies so an activation can be dealt with. The same cameras help against squatting and other unwanted activity on open land and around empty properties.
Crucially, they aim to capture the details needed for a prosecution: typically facial images and vehicle registration numbers. That evidence can be passed to the local authority or police, who deal with fly-tipping offences.
Visible cameras also work as a deterrent. People who dump waste tend to return to places where they have not been caught before. Signage, a siren and a flashing beacon make it clear that the location is now watched, and many choose to stay away.
CAMERA CAPABILITIES
What our fly-tipping cameras do
The cameras are battery powered and 4G connected, so they can go where the problem is rather than where the power is.
- Motion-triggered recording of vehicles and people
- Images suitable for identifying faces and number plates
- Instant alerts to the monitoring team and nominated contacts
- Siren and flashing beacon to warn people they are being watched
- No mains power or on-site internet required
- Footage retained for 31 days, or longer where authorities need it
OUR APPROACH
How we plan fly-tipping surveillance
Every site is assessed individually. We talk to you about the problem before recommending any equipment.
Understand the problem
Where is waste being dumped, how often and at what times? Is the site open land, a yard or a property?
Plan camera positions
We work out how many cameras you need and where to mount them to cover entry points and approach routes.
Install and monitor
Cameras are fitted and linked to Pride Monitoring, with alerts set up for your nominated contacts.
Act on evidence
Recorded footage is secured so it can be passed to the relevant authority to support enforcement.
EVIDENCE
Evidence that supports enforcement
Clear, time-stamped footage is what turns a complaint into a case. Our cameras are positioned to capture vehicles as they arrive and leave, when number plates are easiest to read, and people as they unload. Recordings are secured by authorised personnel so they can be shared with the right authority when needed.
If you manage several sites, cameras can be moved between hotspots as the problem shifts, giving you flexible coverage without a permanent installation. Our wider security CCTV range covers other options for larger sites.

GOING FURTHER
Combining cameras with other security measures
For small or discreet locations, our wireless security cameras are often enough. Where a larger area needs covering, or a highly visible deterrent is wanted, a mast-mounted unit from our CCTV tower range can watch the whole site.
Fly-tipping often goes hand in hand with other trespass. If land is at risk of unauthorised encampments, our traveller eviction support and patrol services can help protect it.
FAQs
Fly-tipping camera FAQs
How does remote monitoring of fly tipping cameras work?
When a camera detects motion, it records a clip and sends it over 4G to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). An operator reviews it and follows the agreed escalation process, which can mean requesting a police response, alerting your nominated contacts or dismissing a false alarm. You can also view footage yourself through the app.
Who can view the footage?
Operators at the Alarm Receiving Centre view footage as part of the monitoring service, and nominated keyholders are contacted as part of the escalation process. All footage is secured and handled by authorised personnel to protect your site and the evidence.
How long is footage kept?
Footage is kept for 31 days. Where the police or another authority needs to access it at a later date, it can be retained for longer. If you discover dumped waste after the event, contact us promptly so the relevant clips can be found and secured.
Will the cameras be watched all the time?
Not continuously. The cameras are motion activated, so an alert is raised as soon as something moves in the detection area. That means operators focus on the moments that matter, such as a vehicle stopping at a gateway at night, rather than watching hours of empty footage.
Where should fly tipping cameras be placed?
Cameras should usually cover every point of entry and be mounted high enough to capture a clear view while staying out of reach. The exact positions depend on how vehicles approach your land. We assess each site individually and advise on the number and placement of cameras.
