Fly-tipping and illegal waste dumping is a costly and persistent issue across rural land, public spaces, and roads.
Both detection and deterrence are critical to tackling this challenge, but limited budgets, infrastructure, and time mean many local authorities are struggling. We built Fortix as a simple, scalable solution for authorities to rely on. Our AI-powered CCTV solution is designed to detect, deter, and document illegal dumping - a trustworthy tool to complement enforcement teams.
Here's how our system works step-by-step:
1. Fortix processes live camera footage.
Our system integrates with CCTV infrastructure to continuously stream and analyse footage - day and night,
2. Fortix Understands what it's seeing.
Unlike the basic motion detection capabilities of traditional CCTV, Fortix interprets footage in real time and analyses what's actually going on.
3. Fortix detects risk factors.
The system looks for patterns commonly associated with fly-tipping and illegal waste disposal, such as:
- Presence of people in restricted or unsupervised areas
- Vehicles stopping in hotspots, lay-bys, or access roads
- High-risk vehicle types, such as vans, tipper trucks and flatbeds
- People carrying, unloading, or dumping bulky items or waste
- Suspicious movement or activity during off-hours (e.g. late at night)
4. Fortix triggers alerts.
When a high-confidence risk is detected, the system automatically sends instant alerts to your team via SMS, email or app notification.
5. Fortix captures and logs evidence.
The system stores key footage and images for teams to review. Users can log in to the Fortix portal to:
- View labelled footage and images
- Download incident clips and stills
- Access auto-generated reports for escalation or enforcement
6. Action is taken.
The captured evidence can be used to:
- Deter future incidents
- Support clean-up or enforcement
- Provide proof for prosecutions or fines
Fortix helps councils detect and respond to fly-tipping in real time.
Our AI cameras identify illegal dumping, send instant alerts, and capture evidence automatically — reducing cleanup costs and supporting enforcement.
