Animal detection system

Animal detection system

We collaborated with the founders of Out of Box Solutions to develop and refine their animal detector system. The detector is a sophisticated IoT system, that identifies if an animal is a native species or an introduced feral pest. It’s designed for use in wildlife parks, remediated land areas and farming properties to record, detect and control animals.

Project Details

We developed a prototype for Out of Box Solutions to use in early field trials. The detector system prototype is designed to be installed by one person.

With the ruggedised construction established, aspects of weight, size and ease of installation in wildlife parks and outdoor locations also informed the design of the prototype.
