The field has no power and no network.
It still has to be watched.
Perimeter, area presence and worker safety at remote, unmanned sites — on $4 RF nodes that run 200–314 hours on one charge and fall back to LoRa sub-GHz when satellite and network go dark. Jamming-resistant by design.
Battery-first · LoRa out-of-band · Jamming-resistant
Reuses the CameraPlus stack — same nodes, an oil-&-gas model flashed over the air
See it on a remote site.
Where cameras run out of power, network and luck.
No mains, no exception
Wellpads and pipeline runs have no power for camera-first kit — and 12–22h of battery dies before a shift ends.
Blackout means silence
When the one satellite or cellular link drops, you lose all awareness of a hazardous site.
People and hazards, unseen
Perimeter intrusion, lone-worker presence and area occupancy in hazard zones go unmonitored.
Endurance, a second way home, and jamming you can’t lose to.
10 days, not 10 hours
1.59 W draw → 200–314 hours on 500 Wh, versus 12–22 hours for camera-first.
A second way home
LoRa SX1262 sub-GHz — a different band from WiFi and satellite — carries the alert when everything else is down.
Jamming makes it sharper
Under RF jamming the nodes emit more and sense more, then fall back to the physical layer over copper. A jammer cannot touch copper.
Why it survives where cameras don’t.
One independent LoRa path is the difference between 10 hours of silence and an immediate alert.
You buy presence and safety, not hardware.
Run through MonitorPlus — we operate the nodes, the model and the reporting; you get the feed and the report.
What lands in your dashboard
- Perimeter intrusion alerts on zones you define
- Area / worker presence in hazard and exclusion zones
- Equipment presence/absence at the wellpad
- Conversational query — “anyone on Pad 7 overnight?”
Why it fits oil & gas
- Runs where there is no power and no network
- Survives jamming and satellite/cellular blackout
- No camera optics to fail in dust, heat or glare
- Ships pre-configured; local hands install in minutes
Prove it on one remote site.
A 30–60 day pilot on a single wellpad or remote site. We ship a battery-and-LoRa kit your crew places in an afternoon, stand up perimeter + presence alerts, and agree one success metric — e.g. intrusion/presence detection versus your ground truth. No power or network dependency; removed in an afternoon if it isn’t earning its place.
