Solar and battery carry the station year-round, with 4–5 days of reserve when the sun doesn't show at all.
The uplink is satellite. Coverage maps are irrelevant; the dead zones are exactly where Sentinel belongs.
Two people, one day, zero trenches. If you can walk to it, you can put a 4K camera on it.
Recognition models run on the station's own computer. Detections are logged as tiny data records, so identification keeps working even when the satellite link is busy or weather-degraded, and raw footage never has to leave your site unless you want it to.
The field microphone listens around the clock and the on-board model identifies what it hears: birds by song and call, frogs and toads by chorus. Every detection is logged with a species, confidence score, and audio clip. Running now at Piscataway Park.
Camera-trap-grade detection on the live stream: find the animal, classify it, log it. Bat acoustic channels and visual mammal ID follow on the same hardware.
The AI is built to recognize animals, deliberately not people. Sentinel is a nature and operations instrument, not a surveillance product; the posture conservation partners and public-land hosts require.
Opt any unit into a public page: live stream, the running species log, recent highlights. Visitors watch the marsh from the visitor center; funders watch it from their office. It's the monitoring record, made visible. Many partners find it's the single best artifact for boards and grant reports.
Public sharing is per-unit and off by default. Private stays private.
The platform turns the detection log into documents: seasonal activity summaries, first-of-season arrivals, unusual detections, quiet periods worth investigating. For land trusts and grant-funded programs, that's monitoring evidence assembled for you, not another data export to wrangle.
Delivered on your schedule; raw data always exportable.
Sentinel began as a research instrument, and the platform keeps that door open: bring your sensors and protocols, and we integrate them into the same power, uplink, and reporting spine.
Weather stations, water level and stream gauges, air quality, soil moisture, transmitted continuously.
Serial and digital instruments integrated to order; data lands on your servers or ours.
Full export of detections, clips, and telemetry, CSV and API. Your site, your data.
Need a specific taxon or event type detected? We scope custom models onto the same edge hardware.
Monitoring programs and research integrations are scoped in the same quote.
