Taiwan’s East Coast is a lush oasis of rugged
unforgiving cliffs, beaches, and a fragile ecosystem. Many endangered animals
such as the pangolin or Taiwan bear call the East Coast home, which means that
protecting the environment from pollution is essential to keeping the region in
balance. Recent development projects along the sparsely populated Coast have
exposed gaps in the enforcement of environmental law however with the help of
Brinno time lapse the government has been able to monitor even remote areas.
After becoming a dumping ground for garbage, a newly
constructed parking lot in Taitung was equipped with Brinno time lapse cameras
to catch people illegally dumping trash. Brinno cameras are a part of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s law enforcement equipment and technology
across Taiwan.
The parking lot is along a busy stretch of road and
many people had started to use it as a dumping ground for garbage and cigarette
butts, creating both a health hazard and an environmental hazard. Even though the
government was frequently sending road maintenance workers to clean up the dumped
garbage, the littering was frequent enough that the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) stepped in with their Brinno enforcement technology to strengthen
environmental law enforcement.
By installing time lapse cameras around the parking
lot, the EPA could record the faces of people littering as well as their cars
license plates. Time lapse footage provides law enforcement with enough
evidence to track and charge perpetrators. The case was even featured on the local news!
Over the past few years the Environmental Protection
Agency has installed dozens of Brinno time lapse cameras across Taiwan. Since
adopting Brinno time lapse as an enforcement technology they have caught a
factory illegally disposing waste water into a river,
an illegal
garbage burning business, and over 52
people littering on a vacant lot in Taichung - all
using Brinno time lapse footage!
Using time lapse cameras to catch lawbreakers is a
great example of how law enforcement agencies can introduce new technology into
their crime prevention strategy. Brinno cameras like the MAC200DN
and TLC2020
are small and easily hidden. They can be installed discreetly and catch
lawbreakers in the act without alerting them. Anonymous recording ensures
lawbreakers are being caught and the time lapse footage provides enough evidence
for them to be criminally charged.
Brinno’s cameras are battery powered and built with power
saving technology which ensures that cameras can record and monitor for months
on end. The MAC200DN
is even compatible with IR 850nm and comes equipped with motion detection,
providing a great 24/7 monitoring solution.
The TLC2020
has many different bundles to choose from depending on your needs including waterproofing
and mounting options.
