Partial Capture
Makes It Worse.
Feral hogs cost U.S. landowners an estimated $1.5 billion per year. But the real damage happens when a conventional trap catches 3 and scatters 11 — because educated hogs rebuild the sounder and get harder to eliminate.
Sentinel V3 changes this: autonomous edge-AI that confirms every animal is inside before the gate fires. No human delay. No partial capture. No educated stragglers.
Why Every Other
System Misses the
Full Sounder.
Conventional trapping depends on human judgment. A landowner drives out, checks the trap, makes a call. The result is almost always partial capture — and the hogs you miss become the hardest ones to catch.
Sentinel V3 removes the human from the decision loop. The system uses dual AI verification (thermal + optical) to confirm species, count, and full-sounder positioning. Then the FAF™ trigger fires — every animal, simultaneously.
Patent pending. Designed to address the primary failure mode of conventional trapping.
The Detection-to-Firing
Decision Chain.
Sentinel V3 runs a continuous AI loop. Every step is verified before the next one starts. No guesswork. No premature drops.
Thermal Detect
Thermal camera scans the corral zone 24/7. Heat signature triggers the classification pipeline. Nothing moves inside this zone without the system knowing.
Species Classify
Optical camera captures the animal. Edge AI confirms species. Deer, cattle, and nontarget are ignored. Feral hog triggers the next step.
Count & Hold
AI counts every animal in the corral. The system holds the gate open until the count matches the target sounder size. Minutes or hours — the system waits.
FAF™ Fire
Full-Array Fire trigger confirms every animal is inside. Gate fires silently. All animals captured simultaneously. Zero scatter. Zero educated stragglers.
Everything runs
from this box.
The Sentinel Control Unit is a weatherproof electronics enclosure housing the AI processing board, cellular uplink, solar charge controller, relay bank, and battery system. It mounts directly to the corral and runs without any human intervention.
- AI target classification — species + count verified before trigger
- Cellular uplink — live alerts to your phone, anywhere
- Solar + LiFePO4 battery — runs indefinitely off-grid
- Relay bank — silent, high-speed gate trigger
- Weatherproof enclosure — built for field conditions

V1 to V3. Not a
Lab Project —
a Field Evolution.
The first Sentinel prototype was a mesh-network field trap built on Northeast Texas land before there was a company name. It worked — but it revealed the real bottleneck: vision confirmation, edge processing, and a trigger that doesn't fire until every animal is inside.
V3 is the result of that learning. Patent-pending FAF™ trigger. Jetson-based edge AI. NVIDIA Inception member. Built for the Ark-La-Tex region and proven in field conditions, not a clean room.

Help Us Develop the Tech
That Will Change the Fight.
We are not looking for spectators. Pilot partners put Sentinel V3 against real sounders, report what holds up in the field, and help us harden the autonomous capture stack before wider rollout. Slots are limited on purpose.
What partners get
- Priority path into V3 field deployment
- Direct feedback loop with the Sounder team
- Documented capture events (vision + telemetry where deployed)
- Influence on what ships next — thresholds, ops, reliability
Partnership requirements
- Active, ongoing feral hog pressure (not a one-time curiosity)
- Willingness to follow whole-sounder discipline — no sabotaging bait with night shooting on the same corridor
- Honest field reporting: false drops, battery/solar behavior, reset time, capture outcomes
- Site access for setup, training, and periodic check-ins
- Preferred: Ark-La-Tex / Northeast Texas operating radius for early units
- Aligned operators, landowners, or institutions — not tire-kickers
