ton, and aluminum prices
are projected to increase
by 36% to $3,000 per ton,

Theft thwarting.

Sirix’s scrap metal & recycling remote video monitoring quickly detects intrusions, deterring thieves and vandals, and protecting your facility from damage and loss.

CCTV security cameras and loudspeakers are strategically placed around your facility for comprehensive scrap metal & recycling live CCTV monitoring.

When a threat or suspicious activity is detected, a video alarm is sent to Sirix’s command center, where vigilant security operators review the footage to assess the situation.
If the situation requires attention, operators quickly follow your business’s established protocols, which may include issuing voice interventions, dispatching police or security teams, or reaching out to the emergency contact.
Sirix’s operators ensure the security threat is resolved or authorities are on-site before moving on to the next alarm.
