The APAMAN Group is currently trialing this cloud-based AI video surveillance system at multifamily properties managed by Presto Service Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time-consuming responses to illegal dumping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Property managers cannot always investigate illegal dumping as soon as it occurs. By the time dumped items are discovered, it may be unclear when or by whom they were brought onto the property, making it difficult to determine what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to these incidents can involve on-site inspections, arranging waste removal and disposal, notifying residents, and contacting the police when necessary. If the person responsible cannot be identified, the property owner or management company may have to cover the disposal costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For companies managing multiple properties, improving response efficiency and enabling timely action based on accurate information is an ongoing challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AI-powered detection and remote video access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Brivo’s cloud-based AI video surveillance allows users to describe the situations they want to detect using natural language. The AI analyzes camera footage based on configured detection criteria and sends an alert to property managers when a matching event is detected. Managers can then review the relevant footage from a PC or smartphone and determine the appropriate response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key capabilities include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Detecting illegal dumping and abandoned bulky waste:<\/strong> AI identifies configured events in garbage disposal areas and shared spaces and alerts property managers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Remote video access:<\/strong> Managers can review footage before visiting the property, helping them quickly understand the situation and decide what action to take.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Centralized management across multiple properties:<\/strong> Video from multiple locations can be managed remotely through one system, reducing the need for individual site visits and helping streamline daily operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Rather than simply recording footage, the system helps property managers identify relevant events, review what happened, and take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAPAMAN Group partner Presto Service Co., Ltd. is conducting a trial of cloud-based AI video surveillance at multifamily properties under its management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On October 15, 2026, APAMAN announced cases involving illegal dumping, abandoned bulky waste, and violations of waste disposal rules identified during the trial. One case involved bulky waste that was removed three days after a notice was posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The APAMAN Group\u2019s property management website also features two additional cases involving illegal dumping and unauthorized waste disposal at rental apartment buildings in Hakata and Minami Wards, Fukuoka City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The APAMAN Group property management website also features two additional cases from rental apartment buildings in Hakata Ward and Minami Ward, Fukuoka City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case 1: Abandoned bulky waste removed three days after a notice was posted<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
AI agent Eeva<\/a> detected illegal dumping based on predefined detection criteria. After receiving an alert, property management staff reviewed the footage and confirmed that bulky waste had been left in the apartment building\u2019s garbage collection area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A notice requesting removal was posted at the property, and the waste was confirmed to have been removed three days later. This case demonstrates how video footage helped staff assess the situation and take appropriate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case 2: Illegal dumping resolved through direct action by those responsible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
At a rental apartment building in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, footage confirmed the illegal dumping of a table. After a warning notice was posted, the person responsible removed it. A similar outcome was confirmed for a dumped washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By reviewing footage and issuing timely warnings, management was able to resolve these incidents and help improve residents\u2019 awareness of proper waste disposal rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case 3: Vehicle footage helps support police reporting and identification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
At a rental apartment building in Minami-ku, Fukuoka City, illegal dumping of bulky furniture and appliances had been occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video footage helped identify vehicles used to bring in the dumped items, leading to police reports and, in some cases, identification of those responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the operational period from April 30 to June 24, a total of 17 violations were recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video footage helped management verify not only the dumped items but also the circumstances and vehicles involved, providing information needed to respond appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Case 1 is based on a trial operation announced by APAMAN on October 15, 2026. Cases 2 and 3 are separate operational examples featured on Brivo\u2019s property management website. Results may vary depending on the property and operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smarter, more efficient rental property management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In rental property management, it is important to quickly identify and respond appropriately to everyday issues such as illegal dumping and violations of waste disposal rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brivo\u2019s cloud-based AI video surveillance analyzes camera footage based on predefined conditions and notifies management staff when specified situations are detected. Staff can review footage from a PC or smartphone, allowing them to assess the situation and determine the appropriate response before visiting the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system can also be deployed using existing cameras supported by Brivo. It can be introduced at smaller properties and allows footage from multiple properties to be centrally managed in the cloud, making it adaptable to different property sizes and management structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond addressing illegal dumping, AI-powered video surveillance can help maintain the appearance of waste disposal areas, reduce the need for on-site inspections, lower waste removal and disposal costs, support appropriate cost recovery, and strengthen security. By leveraging AI and cloud technology, Brivo helps improve property management efficiency and enhance property value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
