Case Study: Lynx Energy catches copper wire thieves in real time with Verkada's integrated security system

How Lynx Energy Detects & Catches Intrusions in Real-Time with a 24/7 Integrated Security System

Lynx Energy, a privately owned natural gas producer operating remote field sites in Central Alberta, faced a sharp rise in copper wire theft and other security incidents, which made it harder to protect assets and maintain safe operations. The company turned to Verkada for an integrated security approach, using cloud-managed cameras, alarms, Command, 24/7 professional monitoring, horn speakers, and Starlink connectivity for remote locations.

With Verkada’s system in place, Lynx could detect intrusions in real time, verify threats with video, and quickly coordinate responses with police and site operators. In one incident, the alerting and monitoring workflow helped lead to the arrest of three copper wire thieves within hours, and Lynx reported an estimated 50% reduction in crime-related costs plus continued annual savings.
