FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED
Define the system.
Product requirements, sensing architecture, interfaces and component studies give the design a shared foundation.
FIELD INTELLIGENCE, IN DEVELOPMENT
A clearer picture.
Beyond the grid.
Meet Outpost. A solar-powered monitoring node being built to bring eyes, ears, and environmental awareness to remote sites.

01 / THE IDEA
Remote shouldn’t
mean out of sight.
Changing sites. Critical assets. Long distances between them. Getting the full picture shouldn’t depend on already having power and a network in place.
Outpost brings multiple sensing approaches into one self-contained design, helping teams understand what changed, where to look, and what needs a closer assessment.

DESIGN INTENT · NOT YET FIELD-TESTEDOne node.
More context.
A common platform for sensing what’s happening around a site. Explore the hardware we’re developing.
01 / FRONT THREE-QUARTER
Real design geometry. Finishes shown are illustrative.
01See the situation
Three visible-camera positions pair with thermal arrays, bringing visual context and heat signals into the same design.
Three visible sectors are planned around the body. Thermal coverage is sector-based, with gaps.
02Listen for early signals
Audible and ultrasonic sensing are intended to add context around activity and possible electrical arcing or corona on nearby assets.
Detection range and performance require testing on real hardware.
03Understand the environment
The sensing plan brings together gas, particulates, temperature, humidity, pressure, rain and lightning to put site conditions in context.
Sensor selection, outdoor integration and valid sampling schedules remain in development.
04Work beyond infrastructure
An integrated solar roof, protected battery and cellular connection are central to the standalone concept. A low-power tier is intended to wake the vision processor when needed.
Complete energy use, runtime and cellular service are still to be qualified.

03 / POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENTS
A FIELD OF POSSIBILITIESStart with a site.
Think beyond it.
Our first focus is solar and battery-storage construction. Explore the possibilities for general construction sites, utilities and remote industry too.
INITIAL MARKET UNDER VALIDATION
From construction
to operation.
From after-hours security to dust, rainfall and progress records, we’re developing Outpost to help teams keep watch as a site takes shape, then explore continued monitoring in operation.
- Review after-hours activity and potential theft
- Watch for fire, heat and environmental changes
- Document progress and review incidents remotely
Deployment concepts only. No live installations or customer pilots are claimed.

CONSTRUCTION USE CASES
What Outpost could do on site.
Practical applications we’re developing toward. Open a use case to see how it could help.
After-hours security
Flag potential unauthorized people, vehicles or unusual activity for review.
Theft and vandalism monitoring
Capture event images around material storage, equipment, temporary buildings and access points.
Fire and smoke warning
Combine camera images, thermal readings, particulates and gas indicators to flag potential fires for review.
Smoldering-material detection
Watch for heat and smoke around waste piles, vegetation, stored materials and hot-work areas.
Equipment overheating alerts
Flag unusual heat around generators, temporary electrical equipment, transformers and inverters within thermal coverage.
Electrical fault warning
Use ultrasonic sensing to look for signs of arcing, corona or tracking as electrical systems are energized.
Dust monitoring
Track particulate trends near earthworks, demolition, haul roads and site boundaries. This would not identify silica specifically.
Air-quality monitoring
Track CO and selected gas or VOC indicators, depending on the final sensors.
Rainfall monitoring
Record rainfall intensity and accumulation to help teams plan work and respond after storms.
Stormwater and erosion-control oversight
Combine rainfall records with scheduled photographs of drainage areas, silt fences and other controls to support inspections.
Lightning and weather awareness
Report nearby lightning activity and local temperature, humidity and pressure.
Progress documentation
Take scheduled photographs to document site changes, milestones and before-and-after conditions.
Remote incident review
Provide event snapshots and sensor history to help investigate damage, alarms and unusual activity.
Device tamper alerts
Detect movement, tilt or impact affecting the monitoring unit itself.
Planned applications. Detection performance, alerting and outdoor operation still require hardware and field validation.
THE LONGER VIEW

with honest engineering.
We’re turning the system concept into an integrated design, while learning which field workflows matter most.

CURRENT FOCUS
Make it fit together.
Editable schematics, preliminary board placements, enclosure CAD and firmware studies are taking shape alongside customer discovery.

AHEAD OF US
Build. Test. Learn.
Prototype assembly, complete energy measurements, sensing performance and environmental qualification remain ahead.
FROM THE WORKBENCHWhat we’re
What we’re
working through.
The design is active. Here is what the latest engineering snapshot actually says.
v0.87 / POWER + PACKAGINGSimplifying the power system
The current revision removes the dedicated capacitor-reserve circuit and 91 fitted component bodies from the provisional main board. The outer enclosure stays the same.
Early battery shutdown and recovery after unexpected power loss are now required for this prototype, but remain unimplemented and unqualified.
SYSTEM QUALIFICATIONClosing the gaps that matter
The complete power budget, battery delivery, valid particulate-sampling schedule, camera operation, outdoor sensor performance, sealing and thermal behavior remain open.
Model checks and software replay support development. Physical hardware and field performance have not been tested.
FIELD WORKFLOWSLearning before the first deployment
Customer discovery starts with solar and battery-storage construction: how teams watch changing sites, assess events, and decide who needs to respond.
The first market is under validation. Deployment scenarios on this site are concepts, and no customer commitments or paid pilots are claimed.
Engineering-stage product. Boards remain unrouted, the design is not released for manufacture, and no physical prototype or field testing is claimed in this snapshot.
