Remote sensing & monitoring systems
Reliable data from places without power, network or access.
GeoInspect designs, builds and deploys sensing systems for sites beyond conventional infrastructure — on the ground with our own ultra-low-power sensor nodes, and from the air with drone-borne sensors, LiDAR and imaging.
From sensor to decision
01
Sensor
Measure what matters, where it happens
02
Edge
Process on the node, send only what counts
03
Connectivity
Cellular, long-range radio, satellite fallback
04
Data
Secure telemetry pipeline and storage
05
Insight
Dashboards, alerts and GIS-ready datasets
Technology · Harvestcore
Harvestcore: our own sensor framework.
Off-the-shelf equipment rarely survives where the grid ends. Harvestcore is GeoInspect’s proprietary framework behind every sensor node we build. Each new sensor starts from proven, field-ready building blocks.
Harvestcore sensor node
01
Custom sensor nodes
In-house PCB design and embedded firmware, built around the measurement: soil moisture, water level, flow, air quality, sound and more.
02
Power that lasts
Energy harvesting and ultra-low-power design let nodes run off-grid without maintenance visits.
03
Data you can reach
Cellular and long-range links with fallback paths, feeding our own telemetry backend and dashboards, or straight into yours.
One mission, many platforms
The sensor comes first. The mission picks the platform.
We are not tied to one aircraft, sensor or vendor. We choose the deployment that fits the site, the distance and the data you need.
FIXED
Continuous monitoring
Permanently installed nodes for sites that need long-term observation and alerts.
REMOTE
Fully off-grid systems
Sensing, edge processing, power and connectivity combined for locations with no infrastructure at all.
MOBILE
Rapid coverage
Sensors on moving platforms when the task needs mobility or a fast deployment.
AIRBORNE
Sensing from the air
Drones carrying environmental sensors, LiDAR and cameras over large, hazardous or inaccessible areas.
Sound recognition
Sensors that know what they hear.
A sound level tells you how loud it is. Recognition tells you what it is. Our acoustic nodes are built to classify sound sources, turning noise data into answers about traffic, disturbance and wildlife. Traffic recognition works today; other sources are in development or planned.
Traffic
Recognises passing cars and separates them from other sound sources, so traffic noise can be measured on its own.
Noise sources
Aircraft, tractors, mopeds and events identified automatically, so policymakers see which sources cause disturbance, how often and when.
Bats
Detecting bats by their ultrasonic echolocation calls, which are inaudible to people, for long-term ecological monitoring without a surveyor on site every night.
Airborne sensing
A drone is a sensor platform that moves.
We fly the same sensing approach we use on the ground: choose the measurement first, then carry it to where it’s needed. Drones reach places a fixed node can’t and cover large areas fast. They complement permanent monitoring with surveys on demand.
Environmental sensing from the air
Gases, particulate matter, VOCs, temperature and humidity measured in flight, for emissions, plumes and air quality where ground stations can’t go.
LiDAR & photogrammetry
Point clouds, 3D models, orthophotos and GIS-ready datasets for terrain, construction, mining and archaeology.
Inspection & repeat monitoring
Imaging and video of power networks, pipelines and structures. Flights are repeated over time to track change without putting people at risk.
Custom payloads & remote operations
Sensor integration on the aircraft, live data links over cellular, and long-range operations where regulations allow.
Our mobile air-quality monitor is a plug-and-play payload measuring particulate matter, VOCs, oxidising gases, humidity and temperature, with GPS location and time stamp.

Next: from measuring to understanding
Machine learning on the acoustic signal to identify what causes a disturbance, such as an aircraft, tractor, moped or event, so policymakers get context, not just numbers.

About · Engineering & consultancy
From proof of concept to field deployment.
Some sensing problems don’t fit an off-the-shelf product. We help you choose the sensors and platform, build a working prototype, and take it into operation. GeoInspect designs and builds its own hardware, with one team responsible from circuit board to dashboard.
