The Story

Makins is a 120 acre leisure fishing complex comprising of 18 lakes, a on-site shop and luxury holiday lodges. They caters for both pleasurers and match anglers alike. While catching fish is an important part of any fishing trip, makins recognise that the modern day angler wants more than just an arm aching spell of action. They have peaceful surroundings, well-built and spaced pegs, and friendly staff to approach with any queries you may have. They gladly supply all these added factors and aim to give their visitors the complete package. Anglers travel from as far as Newcastle and Exeter to visit the well maintained complex.

The Goal

The site was experiencing a problem with fish theft, unauthorised access and overall visibility of the large complex, so they came to us looking for a solution to monitor the lakes, control access in/out of the site and provide a safe and secure environment for all to enjoy.
