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!

Electronic surveillance is effective10/9/2018 In Antwerp and Ghent, two major Belgian cities, almost all political parties are in favour of installing cameras to fight-off fly-tipping according to an inquiry by newspaper ‘De Morgen’.
Are cameras the solution? Waste company OVAM has been experimenting with such cameras for two years now. The first evaluation shows that installing electronic surveillance indeed is effective. “The chances of catching perpetrators increase, while the presence of such cameras also has a discouraging effect,” explains Jan Verheyen (OVAM).

The mobile cameras in the city of Lummen prove their value once again. “In the course of three months, 100 fly-tippers have been caught red-handed” says council member Wim Vangeel. “Analyses show that less than half of all perpetrators live in Lummen and that 45% of them are between 40 and 50 years old. Four out of five perpetrators are men."
"Most of the time, perpetrators choose quiet roads to dump their trash. Very often, trash gets tossed out of the car window. If someone would toss out litter four times, in let’s say a distance of 100m, they will get fined four times as well.” Read the full article (in Dutch): Het Nieuwsblad
