The system for monitoring marine areas was deployed in the Primorsky Territory to prevent poaching. It utilizes a bispectral camera, which combines thermal imaging and a PTZ camera, to detect vessels and individuals. The hardware is installed on a cliff at an altitude of 75 meters.
The automation platform is based on Home Assistant running on a mini-PC with an N150 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a Hailo-8 M.2 accelerator (26 TOPS). The Frigate 18 add-on is used for object classification, including boats and people. Alerts and technical data are transmitted via a Matrix-based corporate messenger.
Power is supplied by four 240 W solar panels and a 12 V 300 Ah LiFePO4 battery. The system is designed for a 100 W load, consuming approximately 2400 W per day. In positive temperatures, consumption is reduced to 50 W. Solar panels generate up to 700–800 W on sunny days.
The setup includes a 600 W searchlight modified with an ESP32-WROOM module for automated control. The system features temperature sensors and climate control for the equipment enclosures. Connectivity is provided via a directional antenna over a GSM channel.
