Case Study: ProVisual™ Stops Electrical Facility Theft Downtown

Problem: Facility Theft Risk

Electrical companies often store high-value materials on-site, making facilities attractive targets for after-hours theft. In this case, a Downtown New Orleans electrical facility was targeted after a suspect cut through the perimeter fence and staged a truck to remove large spools of wire.

Solution: ProVisual by APS

The facility was protected by ProVisual™ by Alarm Protection Services, an AI-powered proactive video security system. Using real-time video analytics, ProVisual™ detected unauthorized activity and automatically triggered live audio deterrence through the system.

Outcome: Theft Stopped in < 60s

Within seconds of the audio warning being deployed, the suspect fled the property. No materials were stolen, and the client avoided project delays, emergency material reorders, and additional operational costs.

This live footage was captured at an electrical company’s secured facility in Downtown New Orleans, where large spools of electrical wire were stored on-site. After cutting through the perimeter fence, the suspect positioned a truck equipped with a liftgate, preparing to remove the wire and load it for transport.

While the exact value of the wire has not been confirmed, similar electrical materials can easily exceed $10,000 in value. Beyond the cost of replacement, theft at facilities like this can cause project delays, rushed material orders, expedited shipping fees, and labor downtime, significantly increasing the true cost of a single incident.

ProVisual™ by APS detected the unauthorized activity in real time and automatically triggered live audio deterrence. Within seconds of the warning being broadcast, the suspect abandoned the attempt and fled the property.

No materials were stolen. No operations were disrupted.
