Forestry and timber security, no power or Wi-Fi needed
The forest that guards its own gate
Forests, harvesting sites and timber yards are remote, unpowered and unwatched at night. HoundLight is a solar 4G alarm unit that secures them with no power and no Wi-Fi — and after storms such as Éowyn in Ireland and the UK or Gudrun in Sweden, windblow clean-up sites stay watched for the weeks the work takes.
What goes missing
The things that disappear on a forest or timber site after hours.
Fuel siphoned from bowsers and harvesters
Chainsaws and power tools taken from crews' vans and sheds
Harvester and forwarder parts stripped overnight
Timber taken from roadside stacks
Vandalism and fire risk, especially in dry spells
Windblow clean-up sites exposed for weeks after storms
Where to put it
Where ImageDeep watches on a forest or timber site.
Forest entrance / barrier
Watches the main way in — tracks, rides and forest gates.
Harvester & forwarder parking
Guards machines left parked overnight at the coupe.
Roadside timber stacks
Keeps eyes on timber waiting for collection.
Fuel bowser / diesel tank
Protects the fuel store furthest from the road.
Sawmill & timber yard perimeter
Covers the yard fence line and stacked timber.
Nursery & depot
Watches young trees, trays and kit between seasons.
The 2:04am scenario
It's 2:04am. The coupe is two rides from the public road and the harvesters have been parked since Friday. A van noses up the forest track and stops by the forwarder. Before anyone gets out, a solar unit on the barrier post lights up the track and a voice warning tells them to leave. They reverse back down the ride. The clip is on the forester's phone by morning, with the time it happened.
Illustrative scenario — no real customer implied.
How it works
From a shape in the dark to a record your insurer can read.
Detect
A person shows up after hours — the AI on the alarm unit spots them.
Warn
A verbal warning tells them to leave, and blue and red lights start flashing.
Alert
The clip goes to the whole crew at once, by app, text or WhatsApp. Anyone can cancel or escalate it in the Scopis AI app.
Record
Every event is logged with its clip in Scopis AI, ready for your insurer or the police.
Pair with SmartReg at the forest gate
HoundLight watches for people. SmartReg, our number-plate recognition product, logs every lorry and vehicle in and out of the forest with a daily report of timber loads leaving. Together you know who walked in — and what drove out.

No road, level pad or tow vehicle needed — it goes on a post or pole
No fuel, no generator noise and no refuelling trips in the forest
It moves with the crew to the next coupe or compartment
Several small alarm units cover more points than one tall mast
Questions for Forestry & timber
No. HoundLight runs on its own solar panel and battery and connects over 4G, so it goes on a gate post, stack side or pole anywhere in the forest.
