Agricultural Security R&D | Groblersdal, Marble Hall & Limpopo Pilot
Autonomous Drone-in-a-Box Security for Large-Scale Farmland
As farm security challenges grow across South Africa, fixed cameras can be bypassed and vehicle patrols cannot instantaneously reach remote boundaries of a multi-hectare farm. Wistech integrates automated Drone-in-a-Box (DiaB) aerial response directly with AI perimeter surveillance and high-throughput wireless links.
Autonomous drones stream high-bitrate HD and thermal telemetry—requiring rock-solid local wireless backhaul and perimeter sensor integration.
Hikvision AI Perimeter Trigger Integration
Our Hikvision AcuSense and thermal line-crossing cameras filter out wildlife and wind, ensuring the drone only launches on verified human or vehicle breaches.
High-Throughput Farm Wireless Backhaul
Wistech designs dedicated Ubiquiti and MikroTik PtP wireless links between the drone dock, farm homestead, and control room for lag-free HD thermal streaming.
Off-Grid Solar & LiFePO4 Dock Power
Engineered with backup LiFePO4 battery banks and solar power options so the automated charging dock remains operational throughout Stage 6+ load-shedding.
