01 — Sensor

Iron Eyes.

Codename: WatchTower Pole · Fixed Edge AI Camera

The fixed-post sensor that runs every Iron Hornet detection model locally — processing on-site rather than depending on the cloud. Iron Eyes is configured to record the vehicle rather than the driver, and is built to operate in low- and no-light conditions.

Features
  • Full AI classification — vehicle type, body, configuration, payload, condition, direction, intent
  • Identity capture — company name, USDOT, MC number, plate, trailer ID, vessel name, hull markings
  • HAZMAT placard detection — reads DOT diamond placards, captures hazard class and UN number for compliance, insurance, and emergency response
  • Live searchable inventory — every truck, trailer, vessel, and container reconciled in and out at every gate, building a real-time site inventory you can query on demand
  • Pattern-of-life learning — the AI builds a behavioral baseline for your facility and surfaces deviations automatically
  • Anomaly detection — unusual visit times, unknown vehicles, off-pattern behavior — flagged in real time
  • Piggyback detection — catches second vehicles slipping through behind authorized traffic
  • Multi-frame analysis — sees the whole event, not a single snapshot
  • Day/night/all-weather operation — IR fusion, IP67 sealed housing
  • Facial recognition for vehicles, trucks & equipment — identity-grade AI applied to trucks, trailers, vessels, containers, and the placards they carry
  • Event log — every event timestamped and searchable
Replaces

The clipboard at the gate. The guard logging plates by hand. The hazmat manifest nobody reconciled. The Monday-morning trailer count that's always wrong. The piggyback intrusion nobody catches. The behavioral anomaly that goes unnoticed until it's an incident. The dumb camera that records but doesn't recognize.

02 — Aerial

Iron Wings.

Replace the perimeter guard. Map the entire site.

The Iron Hornet drone is your site's autonomous patrol asset — and your living site map. It flies a schedule, walks your perimeter from the air, surveys every row of trailers, every dock slip, every taxiway segment, every border sector, livestock movement — and feeds the result into a continuously updated geospatial view of your operation.

Features
  • Scheduled perimeter patrols — replaces the security guard's walk-around on every shift
  • Geospatial site mapping — every flight updates a live map of where vehicles, vessels, equipment, and assets are sitting
  • Aerial asset inventory — knows what's on site, where, and how long it's been there
  • Multi-mission scheduling — perimeter sweeps, inventory passes, dwell-time checks, condition inspections
  • Day/night-rated optics — visible + IR payload, flies the dark hours the guard didn't want to
  • Single-operator fleet — one console supervises every drone across every site
  • NestLink dock integration — fully autonomous launch, mission, return, recharge
Replaces

The security guard's perimeter walk-around. The paper inventory sheet. The "where is that trailer / where is that vessel" search. The blind spot between camera poles. The pilot on the payroll.

03 — Edge Tag

Iron Puck.

Track anything that matters. Anywhere it goes.

Puck extends the Iron Hornet platform from your perimeter to the assets that move through it — and beyond. Trailers. Containers. Generators. Yachts. Fleet vehicles. High-value equipment. Livestock. Anything you can bolt or strap a tag onto. Built for the field, the yard, the harbor, and the pasture.

Features
  • Long-range mesh networking — Mesh network on Iron Hornet's own protocol, miles of range per node, no SIM per tag. Talks back to Brain Box; IoT cellular fallback when available.
  • Movement detection — alerts when an asset moves or goes offline
  • Geofence intelligence — knows when an asset crosses your perimeter, day or night
  • Unified with cameras & drones — same dashboard, same site map, same alert stream
  • Survives the environment — sealed for rain, sun, salt water, vibration, impact
Replaces

The 6 a.m. "where's my trailer / where's my boat / where's the herd" phone call. The dead-zone tracker that goes silent. The "we had it last week" inventory across every asset class.

BrainBox.

Your perimeter network. Built in. Pole-mounted. Done.

Brain Box is the all-in-one site appliance that connects every camera and drone on your perimeter to Iron Hornet's secure backend — without ever touching your IT infrastructure. Built-in cellular. Built-in encryption. Built-in resilience. One enclosure does it all.

Features
  • Built-in cellular backhaul — Iron Hornet's own carrier-grade link, no customer network required
  • Encrypted end-to-end — every byte tunneled to our backend, never exposed to your LAN
  • Local event buffering — full video preserved during link outages, auto-uploaded when restored
  • PoE distribution — powers and links every camera on the pole from one box
  • Independent uptime — your WAN outage never takes down our perimeter
  • Zero IT touch — no VLAN, no firewall rule, no static IP, no IT ticket
  • Weather-sealed pole-mount — engineered for the gate, dock, or sector — not the data closet
05 — Drone Dock

Iron Docking Station.

The brain that flies the drone for you.

The Iron Hornet Dock is more than a charging station. It houses NestLink — the autonomous mission-control system that schedules, launches, recovers, and recharges the drone. You set the patrol routes and the schedule. NestLink runs them. No pilot, no operator, no handling.

Features
  • NestLink mission scheduler — runs patrol routes on a schedule you set
  • Autonomous launch & recovery — drone leaves the dock, flies the mission, lands itself
  • Precision auto-landing — millimeter-accurate dock alignment, every time
  • Inductive recharge — autonomous charge cycle between missions, no operator required
  • Multi-drone fleet management — one operations console, many docks, many sites
  • Pole-mounted, weather-sealed — engineered for the yard, dock, or perimeter
  • Zero physical handling — no one ever touches the drone between missions
Replaces

Manual drone storage and charging. Manual mission planning. Pilot-on-call rotations. The patrol schedule somebody has to manage by hand.
