How a Remote Copper Mine Gained Better Oversight with Sitesec’s Smart Surveillance

When your site spans a remote area, maintaining visibility becomes a real challenge. One Victorian-based copper mine had a solid handle on its operations, but without eyes on the ground, the management team couldn’t see what was happening in real-time, especially when working remotely.

THE CHALLENGE

Limited Visibility, High Stakes

With their project team working on a rotating schedule between remote and on-site roles, communication gaps were common. Key stakeholders relied on secondhand reporting to understand what was happening on the ground. 

THE UPGRADE

Mine-Spec Smart Cameras from Sitesec

Enter Sitesec. 

We rolled out our Sitesec Max units across the site. Rugged, mine-ready systems mounted on temporary concrete bases, designed to withstand the harshest conditions.

These cameras had the perfect feature set for a large scale site: 

  • Automated scanning of critical areas like stockpiles
  • Zoom-in tracking of trucks at weighbridges to capture license plates and tags
  • Monitoring of high-risk zones like feeder chutes, helping to prevent downtime and spot issues fast

“Being able to watch the hoppers in real time as they were being loaded made a huge difference. It gave us the ability to spot any issues instantly and kept things running smoothly. The team really enjoys using the system.”

THE OUTCOME

Real-Time Oversight, Anywhere

With Sitesec’s systems in place, the mine’s management team gained immediate, real-time access to their site, from anywhere in the world. The cameras cut down dramatically on internal reporting, improved incident response times, and gave stakeholders the visual context they needed.

  • Faster fault identification 
  • Remote site visibility 24/7
  • Fewer delays and better decisions
