What it does
Human–wildlife conflict is one of the most urgent challenges in conservation today — between communities and elephants, brown bears, hippos and many other species. Smart Deterrent is our answer: an automated, non-lethal deterrent that protects villages, farms and wildlife alike.
When a paired AI camera detects an animal near a known conflict zone, Smart Deterrent activates a varied combination of light and sound designed to attract the animal’s attention and create distance — without causing harm or panic.
Built to stay unfamiliar
Wildlife habituates. Show an elephant the same flash pattern or play the same recorded sound twice, and within a few weeks they ignore it. The Smart Deterrent’s secret is a large on-board sound library — music, human voices, animal calls and more — that cycles unpredictably, paired with light flashes.
What actually works depends on the species and the landscape, so we test and tune the mix in the field: an elephant in Zambia doesn’t respond to the same stimulus as a brown bear in the Carpathians. The result: the deterrent stays unfamiliar, and animals keep their distance.
How it works
The system runs in two parts, fully autonomous:
- Detection — AI camera systems (typically Instant Detect) continuously monitor known wildlife movement corridors.
- Response — When the target species is detected, the Smart Deterrent activates automatically — light, sound, redirect away from settlements and crops.
Because the entire chain is self-contained and solar-powered, Smart Deterrent works in unfenced landscapes where building infrastructure isn’t an option.
