2 illegal dumpers in just 48 hours14/6/2023 Within just 48 hours of installation, a Mobiqam combined with a surveillance camera, strategically mounted on a lighting pole in Melkaderlaan (Melkader Avenue) in Kallo (Belgium), successfully helped to identify two illegal dumpers and deter many others.
Once again Mobiqam®’s effectiveness to rapidly fight illegal dumping is demonstrated, while proving how a small village can benefit from Mobiqam’s surveillance platform. Kallo is a small village with less than 2.500 inhabitants, in the Belgium municipality of Beveren. Without the big cities budget, many smaller cities, towns and villages feel left out of the technological advances and all its benefits. Mobiqam®´s versatility makes it a budget friendly answer for small municipalities. As a mobile and autonomous surveillance platform, it saves costs on infrastructures, time and human resources. Mobiqam® is rapidly implemented anytime, anywhere, and for any required duration. Contact us if you'd like to present the Mobiqam® solution to your municipality and local authorities. Join us in creating better and safer communities to live in.

Mobiqam’s key advantage is its mobility. Mobiqam units can be easily moved around to different locations as needed and when needed. Setting the unit in another location takes less than 5 minutes which ensures authorities can have a quick response whenever this problem is detected.
But is not only that, Mobiqam also has a preventive effect, as people will think twice before littering or dumping their waste illegally when they see the units in place. "The Mobiqam units are a very useful tool in our fight against littering and illegal dumping," says Veerle Baeyens, the mayor of Haaltert. "They've helped us to identify several offenders and have had a preventive effect as well." The goal of the program in Haaltert is to make the town a cleaner and more attractive place to live, work, and visit.

The local police of Lokeren have used a temporary deployed Mobiqam unit to help confirm local authorities’ suspicions and to enforce tonnage limits to protect the town's bridge infrastructure. Equipped with an Axis Communications camera, authorities were automatically informed when a vehicle was over the 7.5-ton limit violated the tonnage limit. Allowing fines to be issued with visual verification. Mobiqam is a fully autonomous rapid deployment platform that was temporarily tactfully placed for this purpose at the entrance to Oude-Bruglaan - a bridge that is crucial to the town's traffic flow. While Mobiqam helped to recover its investment in record time, the primary goal was not to generate revenue but rather to confirm suspicions and generate awareness. The spokesperson for the local police stated that "the tonnage limit is there for a reason, and it's important that everyone respects it".

Mobiqam video in the making3/10/2018 We're on the road this week to film our very own Mobiqam video! A huge advantage is that the video will be spoken in Dutch but subtitled in English so it can perfectly be shown during business fairs, or on other occasions where audio possibilities are limited.
The video consists of two interviews: a testimonial from one of our clients and an interview with our CEO, Ilja Theuwissen. Furthermore, we focus on our success stories and cases on city, event and construction site surveillance. Luckily, there are multiple locations in the area that are perfect for shooting these ambient shots. We're expecting the video to be ready within a couple of weeks already so we'll keep you posted!
