This document summarizes a case study of securing a remote, 150-acre mothballed mine site with no power or lighting. Initial attempts using guards and mobile surveillance units proved ineffective with continued losses. The installation of a blended video system using Videofied Remote Sentry wireless cameras on Monday provided coverage of access points and assets. On Wednesday, the system detected an intrusion and alerted security, allowing law enforcement to surround the site and apprehend intruders leaving with stolen property - the first capture in over 10 years. The customer now deploys the system nationwide to protect outdoor assets.
