Sage Valley HOA, a residential community, was dealing with mailbox break-ins several times a week, frequent enough that residents were afraid to have packages delivered at all. Traditional security cameras only captured footage after a theft had already happened, and the mailbox cluster locations had no power or network access, ruling out a conventional wired camera install.
The Challenge
- Mailbox break-ins several times per week
- Residents scared to receive deliveries
- No power or network at mailbox locations
- Traditional cameras only recorded after theft occurred
Gardient's Solution
- Eagle Eye Anywhere Cabinet System (solar-powered)
- ElectricEye Active Scene Intelligence
- Real-time behavioral analysis and alerts
- 7 locations deployed in under one hour each
Because the Eagle Eye Anywhere Cabinet System is solar-powered and cellular-connected, Gardient was able to deploy full camera coverage at all 7 mailbox locations without running power or network cabling; each site took under an hour to install. ElectricEye Active Scene Intelligence adds real-time behavioral analysis on top of the video feed, alerting on suspicious activity as it happens instead of only providing a recording after the fact.
