We are proud to be part of the latest round of funding from Predator Free 2050 Ltd.  The funding will allow us to take the trap to the next level with the development of an auto-reset mechanism, an intelligent trigger to keep our taonga safe, and an automated kill and clear mechanism.  

We've had our trap out in the field and, over a sustained period, the trap has shown a catch rate 10x higher than traditional traps. 

2021 was a very productive year for us here.  So we thought it was time for a recap of our products and an overview of what the products can do for you.  Today we focus on our Thermal Camera.

 

The team have been busy again - new software features, new products from our partners at 2040.co.nz, and an update on manufacturing.  Check out the latest newsletter here: https://www.2040.co.nz/blogs/newsletter/battery-meters-car-batteries-trap-updates 

 

Great to see Predator Free 2050 Ltd investing in bringing innovation to the market:  https://pf2050.co.nz/news/kiwi-ingenuity-developing-world-leading-predat...

New software updates to our online portal and our Sidekick app.

Our high catch rate trap has now been out in the wild in a few areas so it's time to give you a brief update. We've identified some key next steps in the trap's development. 

The Cacophony Project exists to put better tools in the hands of everyone engaged in the battle to make Aotearoa Predator Free.  So when we hear DOC's Program Manager for Predator Free 2050 excited about our tools having the possibility to "really change the game", it helps confirm our belief that we're on the right journey.

For a period a 3 months last year we had the pleasure of having Sapphire Hampshire join the project as an intern.  Saphy was a Master's student in International Nature Conservation at Lincoln University, from Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen.

 

Our delivery partner at 2040.co.nz has just announced a number of improvements that are now going live.
