Bathurst Resources Replaces Static Guards with AI-Powered 24/7 Monitoring

Following a costly after-hours break-in, Bathurst Resources needed an effective way to protect its people, heavy equipment and site assets. Although CCTV cameras were installed, they were only recording footage and weren't actively monitored. Once intruders identified the cameras, they disabled them before continuing through the site unnoticed, resulting in the theft of several vehicles and valuable tools.

To improve after-hours security, the business relied on static security guards. However, this approach was costly and provided limited coverage across a large operational site, with a single guard only able to monitor one area at a time. Bathurst Resources began looking for a smarter, more proactive security solution that could detect suspicious activity in real time, reduce ongoing security costs and provide greater confidence that the site remained protected around the clock.

Vision Intelligence worked closely with Bathurst Resources to implement an AI-powered surveillance solution tailored to the site's operational requirements. Cameras were rapidly deployed and connected to Vision Intelligence's 24/7 monitoring centre, where experienced operators could verify alarms and respond immediately to suspicious activity.

Within two nights of installation, the system detected activity outside the site and generated its first real-time alert, demonstrating that the monitoring solution was working exactly as intended. Confident in the performance of the system, Bathurst Resources replaced its after-hours static security guards with Vision Intelligence's monitored surveillance solution.

"Knowing that it's monitored has definitely helped me sleep at night."
