Illegal logging
Timber theft and unlicensed felling strip woodland and plantations, often using a chainsaw and a truck in a matter of hours.

No alert — intact forest, nothing happening.
Nothing wakes. Only the nanopower domain and the PIR are drawing.
How the camera spots it
Animals passing along the track are cleared locally. People are escalated, and Gen AI tells a forestry worker inspecting trees apart from active felling (chainsaw, falling tree, cut logs being loaded) and alerts on the latter.
How you would set it up
- Wake
- PIR wakes the camera; radar confirms a person- or vehicle-sized target before any capture
- Schedule
- Timed capture at midday for a growth record. Heartbeat every 24 hours.
- On the camera
- Radar drops animals. Edge AI drops frames with no person or vehicle.
- Your criterion
Is anyone cutting or felling trees, or loading logs onto a vehicle? A worker inspecting trees without cutting is fine.
