Five steps to SituAItional Awareness™
1. Procure
The Echidna system uses a hybrid ownership model.
Yours to own: Echidna Puggles (camera modules), batteries, mounting hardware, and cables — purchased once, kept permanently.
Your SituAItional Awareness™ service: The Echidna Unit and Echidna Burrow are leased to you as part of your active service tier, on a 12-month minimum term. This also provides access to our secure cloud platform and our mix-and-match AI analytics.
Once you have your gear, you're ready to configure.
2. Configure
Adapt the modular Echidna hardware for the task. The system can be configured with different power sources, communications options and camera types to suit almost any environment: from urban infrastructure to remote field sites.
3. Select
Mix and match the analytics that match your operational needs. Echidna’s AI models can detect and classify events such as vehicles, people, animals or site activity, turning raw footage into structured data and alerts.
4. Detect
Once configured, Echidna continuously monitors the scene and filters out the noise. When the selected analytics detect a defined event, the system automatically captures the relevant footage and records it for review.
5. Act
Detected events are delivered to you with the relevant footage, data and context. Instead of reviewing hours of video, users receive clear, searchable insights that support faster decisions and more effective operations.
The same system. Any mission. Any environment. Now see what it's worth to your operation.
