Running a camera-trap study or
monitoring a large property? A funded pilot is
$2,495 and includes everything
a first deployment needs. Purchase orders and grant paperwork welcome.
Four solar camera nodes, assembled and
weatherproofed: motion trigger, on-device AI filtering, full-resolution
stills to SD, 915 MHz LoRa mesh radio, solar panel, antenna, and
tree-mount hardware.
One gateway, configured for your internet before it
ships (wired ethernet/PoE or WiFi), antenna included.
A handheld range-survey probe: before anything is
mounted, walk your property pressing one button. GPS-stamped link checks
land in the app, and the relay plan gets refined from real measurements
instead of guesses.
Relay nodes if your terrain needs them: the site
plan decides, and any relays are quoted with it, not sprung on you
later.
A deployment plan for your site: relay and antenna
placement mapped to your terrain before anything ships, then direct
support from the engineer who built the system through install and your
first season.
A year of the hosted cloud, unlimited cameras, or
help standing up your own server instead. Same software either way, and
your data is yours to export at any time.
Not included: batteries (standard rechargeable
cells you buy locally; lithium shipping rules) and any poles or masts
the plan calls for.
After year one, hosted-cloud plans run from $29/yr for
small setups to $99/yr for deep retention and sharing; every plan is
unlimited cameras. Self-hosting is free forever. Pilot units are
evaluation kits built on pre-certified 915 MHz radio modules, ahead
of full product certification. Pilots ship within the US and Canada for
now. To start a pilot:

How a pilot runs
Tell us about your site. Terrain, acreage, where the
internet is (cabin WiFi, DSL, Starlink), and what you're monitoring.
One email starts it; purchase orders and grant paperwork welcome.
We plan the deployment together. Relay placement,
antenna heights, and a gear list matched to your terrain, agreed before
anything ships. Hardware arrives pre-flashed, paired, and tested as one
mesh.
You deploy with direct support. Photos and telemetry
flow to the hosted cloud or your own server. Your data is yours to
export at any time, and self-hosting is supported forever.
