Instant Detect satellite wildlife monitoring system
Instant Detect 2.0 is a wildlife, environment and threat monitoring system designed by conservationists for conservationists. The system consists of multiple battery-powered cameras and sensors that capture images and data and then transmit it to the cloud in near real-time using satellite connectivity.
The Instant Detect 2.0 system has a wide range of conservation applications and will be used for monitoring wildlife health, managing human/wildlife conflict, protecting endangered species from poachers, and enabling scientific research of the environment.
Octophin built a graphical user interface for managing the devices (accessed via a wifi network on the device itself) and a cloud based device and image collection management system reading reports and images (from satellite links) and displaying them on a dashboard.
This was a multi-stage, many part project over several years.
