ARGOS

Artificial Response & Geofencing Operation System

An integrated field system for targeted monitoring and controlled behavioural deterrence of large mammals such as wild boar and wolf. ARGOS combines sensor-based detection, AI-assisted species recognition and response mechanisms, supporting applied ecological research in real-world environments.

Monitoring and Species Recognition

Systematic monitoring and AI-assisted recognition of target species, such as wild boars and wolves, with real-time data transmission to the management platform upon detection of potential entry events.

Real-Time Deterrence Activation

Instant activation of calibrated acoustic and visual deterrence signals upon species detection, supporting controlled behavioural deterrence and prevention of wildlife presence in designated zones.

Alerts and Notifications

Immediate notification of detected events to designated monitoring authorities and system administrators, enabling timely situational awareness and response coordination.

Fire and Smoke Detection

The system supports the automated identification of visual indicators of fire and smoke, enabling early detection and rapid notification for situational assessment.

The integrated ARGOS system is structured around three core pillars of high technology and applied wildlife management

Species Monitoring

Wildlife monitoring systems based on motion-activated cameras, supporting the systematic collection of presence, activity and spatial distribution data under real-world field conditions.

Analysis and Control

An AI-assisted data analysis and management platform (LandBox) enabling species recognition, event classification and the correlation of observations with environmental and temporal parameters.

Behavioural Deterrence

A system for activating calibrated acoustic and visual deterrence signals, designed to support the targeted avoidance of entry, presence or passage of specific species within designated zones through controlled behavioural responses.

Real-Time Monitoring

Ensuring continuous operation under all conditions is the first key pillar

4G Wildlife Monitoring Cameras

The wildlife monitoring camera network is deployed following site-specific field assessments conducted by domain specialists, aiming to identify optimal installation locations based on species presence, movement patterns and environmental parameters.

The 24/7 monitoring system operates using motion-based detection and IP68-rated hardware, ensuring continuous functionality under extreme weather and temperature conditions. All observation data are transmitted in real time via 4G connectivity to the central management platform.

Control and Analysis via the LANDBOX Platform

The LANDBOX monitoring and control platform employs AI-assisted algorithms to identify and differentiate the presence of wildlife, humans and vehicles at monitored locations, enabling continuous 24/7 situational awareness and event classification.

REAL TIME MONITORING

The platform continuously updates in real time, registering and organising events generated by all connected cameras. Events can be grouped by camera, date, species and additional contextual parameters, supporting systematic data exploration.

Automated Species Recognition

Species identification is performed using AI-based classification models developed and trained specifically for wildlife monitoring applications.

Equipment Management

The system supports the creation, configuration and grouping of cameras and ARGOS field devices, enabling structured deployment and centralised operational oversight.

Privacy and Data Protection

The platform automatically detects the presence of humans and vehicles and applies configurable visual anonymisation (blurring) to images. These mechanisms can be activated selectively based on time windows and operational requirements.

AI-Assisted Fire and Smoke Detection

The system supports early detection of visual indicators of fire or smoke within seconds.

AI-based deep learning models are used to achieve high detection accuracy while reducing false positives.

Models are continuously refined using site-specific visual data from deployed cameras, ensuring adaptive performance across diverse environments.

Reporting and Data Export

The platform supports the generation of analytical reports and visualisations, including graphs and summaries by species, camera and time period, facilitating longitudinal analysis.

ARGOS Wildlife Entry Deterrence and Repulsion System

Real-time data streams from the camera network are analysed by the LANDBOX platform using AI-based models to identify target species, enabling the automated activation of behavioural deterrence and spatial avoidance mechanisms within defined study areas.

Patent Recognition and Innovation Validation

The ARGOS system incorporates a specialised acoustic emission mechanism combined with optional visual deterrence signals. Its design and functional principles have been formally recognised through official patent registration, reflecting its innovative contribution to applied wildlife management.

High-Intensity Acoustic Signalling System

The system operates with calibrated sound pressure levels reaching up to 150 dB at 1 meter and provides 360° spatial coverage. Acoustic signals are selected and evaluated through field-based testing, targeting specific species while minimising disturbance to non-target fauna.

Visual Deterrent System

The visual component consists of a 48-SMD LED beacon operating at a 6000K colour temperature, designed to complement the acoustic signalling system. This multimodal configuration supports combined sensory cues for behavioural deterrence.

4G-Based Communication Infrastructure

The system is equipped with 4G connectivity, enabling real-time data transmission and remote operation across extended geographic areas, independent of specific mobile network providers.

Acoustic Characteristics and Field Measurements

Acoustic Field Measurements

Based on field measurements conducted in outdoor conditions, the emitted sound pressure levels exceed 80 dB within a minimum radius of 50 metres, depending on environmental and installation parameters.

ARGOS 360° Sound Emission Profile

The acoustic system is designed to operate with omnidirectional sound emission, providing 360° spatial coverage. This configuration supports uniform signal propagation across the surrounding area, subject to environmental and installation conditions.
