DETERLite | Our Product
An AI-based Multi-Species Deterrence Device
DETERLite is a one-of-a-kind solution to address Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC).
Using TinyML, this smart device can distinguish individual species of animalia and produce species-specific audio and visual deterrents. Habituation-proofed through randomization, DETERLite uses research-based audio interventions, while also allowing users to upload their own deterrence audio to allow for effective test-and-use of local knowledge.
Its off-grid capability facilitates deployment in areas without electricity and network coverage. When deployed in a cellphone coverage area, DETERLite can notify animalia detection. Lightweight and easy portability allows swift redeployment depending on the direction of wildlife incursions.
DETERLite combats Human Wildlife Conflict. Humanely.
