Fly tipping
Remote lanes and field gateways are targeted for illegal dumping of household and building waste, usually from a van, leaving councils and landowners with clean-up costs and no culprit.
No motion alert — quiet empty scene.
Nothing wakes. Only the nanopower domain and the PIR are drawing.
Radar and motion trigger on anything entering the gateway. The local model discards animals and passing walkers; a person with a vehicle is escalated, and Gen AI confirms the tell-tale combination of open rear doors and waste being unloaded before raising an alert with the image as evidence.
