Locker Vandalism: Detect It. Deter It. In Real Time.
Parcel lockers are unattended infrastructure, accessible 24/7. Passive cameras record break-ins — they don't stop them. Argos detects forcing attempts in real time and triggers on-site deterrence while the incident is happening.
What is Locker Vandalism Detection?
Parcel-locker vandalism detection is AI monitoring for unattended locker banks that identifies forcing attempts — crowbar use, impacts, prolonged crouching — in real time and can chain them to active deterrence. Argos runs on the locker's existing camera, detects the break-in as it happens, and triggers a remotely controlled siren and strobe to interrupt the act. Standalone box, no locker modification, GDPR-compliant edge processing.
The Problem
Unattended infrastructure, passive cameras
Parcel lockers and smart locker banks operate without staff and are accessible around the clock. Passive cameras film the forcing — they do not prevent it. Every vandalized machine costs hardware, a field intervention, and customer trust.
How Argos Detects It
Real-Time Detection
The AI analyzes the feeds of your existing cameras (RTSP) and identifies forcing attempts as they happen: crowbar use, impacts, and suspicious behavior such as prolonged crouching or abnormal presence. Video alert in under 1 second.
Active Deterrence
Detection instantly triggers on-site, remotely controlled deterrence: siren and strobe light — with an optional fog screen currently in certification. The incident is interrupted while it is happening.
Standalone Deployment
An autonomous box, no modification to your machines. Edge / on-premises processing, GDPR-compliant — deployable now, from a single pilot site to an entire fleet.
Built hand-in-hand with the field requirements of one of France's leading connected locker providers. Detection demonstrated on real break-in footage broadcast on French national television.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Argos require new cameras or changes to the lockers?
No. The system connects to your existing cameras via RTSP and runs on an autonomous box installed on site. No modification of the locker machines is required, and processing stays edge / on-premises, GDPR-compliant.
What happens when a break-in attempt is detected?
Within a second, a video alert is raised. Detection instantly triggers the on-site deterrence chain — siren and strobe light, with an optional fog screen currently in certification — interrupting the incident while it is happening.
How fast can this be deployed across a locker fleet?
Deployment starts with a single pilot site and scales to an entire fleet. The box is autonomous and works on your existing camera infrastructure, so a site can go live without modifying the machines.
