Cleanliness
Fly-tipping, bulky waste next to bins, overflowing containers. Recurring spots become visible and street cleaning can go there on purpose.
MUNICIPALITIES · CAMERA EVENTSThe vehicles drive anyway.
The vehicles drive anyway.
The camera rides along.
Street sweepers, refuse trucks and service cars drive through the streets every day. A camera on board detects fly-tipping, skips in the street and damaged signs. A person reviews every event before it goes to the defect reporting portal or your case system.
One concrete process is enough to get started.
FROM IMAGE TO CASE
- 01 · Camera on the vehicleRuns on trips that happen anyway.
- 02 · EventImage, location, time and event type. Faces and plates blurred on the vehicle.
- 03 · ReviewA person confirms or rejects.

WHAT IS DETECTEDOne platform.
One platform.
Several municipal tasks.
Special use permits
Skips, scaffolding and barriers in the street are matched against your permits. If a permit is missing, the responsible office gets a notice.
Parking
For municipalities with scan cars: matching against digital parking permits and a review screen for the enforcement officer. No ticket without a human review.
Roads and signs
Potholes and damaged or covered traffic signs as additional event types on the same trips.
HUMAN REVIEWNo event leaves
No event leaves
without review.
The camera suggests, a person decides: confirm, reject or re-check on the next trip. Every decision is logged with name and time.
PROJECT EXPERIENCEWe have already built
We have already built
such a platform.
In 2026 our team developed a platform for camera events from vehicles. For your town we reuse the technology and adapt event types, review rules and handover to your processes.
For 8 camera vehicles
Events and tracks of the vehicles come together in one platform, with a map and the status of each vehicle.
61 event types
A catalogue from parking on green spaces to winter service, waste and lighting to road damage. Each type is assigned a detection method: geodata, object detection, image analysis or road surface.
Review and interface
Review screen for people, an interface to the client’s system, a log of every action, test drives and a fault journal.
DATA PROTECTIONBuilt in
Built in
from the start.
Blurred on the vehicle
Faces and plates are blurred on board before any image leaves the vehicle. The only exception is parking, where the legal basis allows it.
Storage in the EU
Data and review stay in the EU. You set the retention periods, after that data is deleted.
Documents for the DPIA
We provide the description, data flows and deletion concept for your data protection impact assessment and the alignment with your data protection officer.
PILOTStart small.
Start small.
Decide with figures.
One vehicle, one district
One camera on a vehicle that drives the route anyway. Installation together with a local partner.
Three months
Enough trips to see recurring spots and tune the review rules.
A clear result
How many events, how many confirmed, how much review effort, and what changed afterwards for street cleaning or the public order office.
