Farming Theft Prevention

Protect fields, barns and orchards with smart low-power radar nodes that work day and night.

Industry Challenges
  • Large, distributed properties with limited power/communications
  • Animals triggering frequent false alarms on camera-only systems
  • Limited manpower for patrols and verification
Farming Theft Prevention

Scenario

Agricultural theft causes financial loss and safety risks. Fields, barns and equipment yards are difficult to patrol continuously—especially at night or in bad weather.

Approach

Deploy low-power radar nodes along perimeters and lanes. When motion with human/vehicle signature is detected, lights and cameras are cued and owners are alerted. Evidence is stored for investigation.

Advantages

Low-power Nodes
Solar and battery options for remote fields.
Wide Coverage
Cover large perimeters and lanes with few devices.
Smart Classification
Differentiate people, vehicles and animals to reduce nuisance.
Active Deterrence
Trigger lights, sirens or speakers automatically.
Instant Alerts
Notify phones and radios with location and heading.
Simple Install
Lightweight units with flexible mounting options.

Workflow

  1. Perimeter Layout
    Plan field edges, lanes and gates for node placement.
  2. Low‑power Deployment
    Install solar/battery nodes; connect to gateways where available.
  3. Human/Vehicle Detection
    Classify targets; ignore animals/foliage to reduce nuisance.
  4. Smart Deterrence
    Trigger lights, sirens or speakers to deter intruders.
  5. Notification & Archive
    Send mobile alerts; store evidence for insurance/police.
Key Use Cases
  • Nighttime protection for barns, equipment yards and fuel tanks
  • Orchard and vineyard perimeter breach detection
  • Remote ranch gates and lanes monitoring with solar nodes
  • Owner mobile alerts with location, direction and snapshots
