Secure Defence flood water leak detection uses sensors that detect water in as little as 0.5mm, catching leaks before they become disasters. Our system can automatically shut off water supplies and alert you immediately. This protects substations, electrical equipment, and facility infrastructure from costly water damage that could shut down power generation.

Question 13

How does Secure Defence help protect renewable energy facilities from equipment theft by organized crime?

Accepted Answer

Secure Defence detects organized theft activity by monitoring patterns and suspicious behavior across your renewable energy facility. Our AI can identify when multiple areas are being targeted, and our live operators coordinate with police to stop theft rings before they can steal multiple solar panels, copper wire, or transformers. This proactive approach disrupts organized crime operations targeting renewable energy facilities.

Question 14

How quickly can Secure Defence respond to security incidents at remote solar and wind farms?

Accepted Answer

Secure Defence operators respond to incidents within seconds of detection. When our AI spots a threat, a live operator verifies it immediately and can issue audio warnings or dispatch security within 30 seconds. This rapid response stops most incidents before any damage occurs, protecting solar panels, wind turbines, and critical infrastructure even in remote locations.

Question 15

How does Secure Defence prevent false alarms from wildlife at renewable energy facilities?

Accepted Answer

Secure Defence uses advanced AI that learns your facility's normal activity patterns, filtering out false alarms from wildlife, weather, or routine facility operations. Our long-range cameras can distinguish between human threats and animals, and every potential threat is verified by a live operator before you're notified. This ensures you only deal with real security incidents, not false alarms.

Question 16
