Fly-tipping, with the proof attached.
The fine is written in law. The hard part has always been proving who, what and when.
the top of the fine for abandoning non-hazardous waste in Italy, from €1,500, with four to six years of licence suspension when a vehicle is used.

fines issued in Ferrara in 2024 with camera traps
what those fines were worth
the same figure for 2023, before the system was extended
Ferrara is the public proof that the enforcement route works when the footage is usable: the deputy mayor put it as the numbers showing the monitoring system works.
Same cameras. A different answer.
How it is handled today
Hundreds of alarms on movement, to open and read.
A camera on the kerb films everything and flags nothing. Somebody in the office scrubs hours of footage looking for a forty-second dump.
With Focoos
One alarm, already analysed.
An event the moment somebody leaves a bulky object behind, with the clip and a sentence naming what came out of the vehicle. That is what an office can act on.
What Focoos wrote about this clip
A person stands next to a red car with the rear door open, handling objects in the boot and on the ground.
Real surveillance footage, and the model’s own sentence about it. The event types are the ones it raised.
What it watches for on this kind of site.
The usual list for this point of view. It is yours to change, camera by camera: the model is the same everywhere, and only the ticked boxes differ.
These are event types from the same twenty. Nothing is built for this market, which is why a site with a forecourt, a shop and a yard runs one model and not three systems.
On the cameras you already have.
The cameras a municipality already owns, read on site. What leaves the site is the event and its clip, which is what goes into the file.
The brain: observes, understands and decides on-prem, on your own network.
Where your team settles the events, from every site you run.
