Proactive Surveillance for Storm-Affected Homes in Auckland

Problem

Council responding to extreme weather

Following the 2023 storms, Auckland Council assumed responsibility for 1200 high-risk properties purchased across the region. Vacant homes awaiting removal were exposed to vandalism and unauthorised access, with the geographic spread making constant physical supervision impractical. Protecting asset value while supporting community safety required a scalable and rapidly deployable solution.

Solution

Proactive protection deployed in minutes

Vision Intelligence deployed a combination of solar-powered V4, VisionMate and compact Reconeyez units, supported by 24/7 remote video and audio monitoring from its Command Centre. This enabled real-time observation and immediate escalation without on-site guards, acting as both a visible deterrent and an active response capability during recovery works. As Cherri Davidson from Auckland Council shared,“The cameras have reduced the crime quite significantly and it makes the communities feel safe.” Auckland Council’s approach has supported a safer community environment while recovery works progress.
