Field notes
The proposed signal chain combines radar measurements with a camera that records an insect’s direction, then aims to use readings across neighboring hives to narrow down a nest area. The page lists LTE-M connectivity and says a steel adhesive plate is included for wooden hive roofs. Its FAQ also describes the camera as activating only after radar detection, with no video stored; these are product descriptions, not independently demonstrated capabilities.
