Not just a camera
HerdGuard does not sell hardware as the answer. The platform is designed to make the cameras you already have more useful.
Product
Structured detection on top of cameras you already trust.
HerdGuard, a product of NightVyper LLC, is designed to turn still images from internet-connected farm cameras into reviewable events — with metadata, confidence scores, alert decisions, and a verifiable history.
The solution
Turn camera captures into structured detection events.
HerdGuard is the cloud-assisted layer on top of cameras you already operate. It is designed to get more useful as your verified events accumulate.
What HerdGuard captures for every event
- Image references and timestamps
- Camera, site, and zone metadata
- Detection labels and confidence scores
- Alert decisions and delivery status
- Human review outcomes and corrections
Every captured event becomes part of a property-specific record and, with owner consent, contributes to a verified dataset intended to improve detection over time.
The camera is the sensor
HerdGuard’s value sits in the cloud: image analysis, alert rules, event history, human review, and the dataset that grows around your property.
Designed to improve over time
Reviewed events refine alert thresholds and, on the roadmap, support a HerdGuard-trained model tuned for the species, lighting, and terrain typical of your land.
How it works
From a captured image to an actionable, reviewable event.
A simple four-step pipeline. Still images, cloud-assisted analysis, structured events, and human review — built around internet-connected camera zones.
- 01
Camera captures still image
An internet-connected farm camera sends still images to HerdGuard on motion or schedule. No video streams are required.
- 02
Cloud-assisted analysis
Each image is analyzed for predator and animal activity using a cloud-assisted vision pipeline.
- 03
Rules create event history
Detections pass through property-specific alert rules. Matching events are stored with metadata, confidence, and outcomes.
- 04
Owner reviews and corrects
You receive an alert, review the event, and confirm or correct it. Verified outcomes feed the long-term dataset.
Why HerdGuard is different
A platform, not a product page.
The camera is the sensor. HerdGuard is the cloud-assisted layer that makes a sensor worth deploying on a working property.
Structured event database
Every detection is a record — searchable, reviewable, and exportable.
Property-specific alerting
Rules account for your zones, schedules, species of concern, and risk tolerance.
Human review workflow
People stay in the loop. Reviewed events drive better future detections.
Verified detection history
A defensible, time-stamped record of predator and animal activity on your land.
Long-term proprietary model
We're collecting the dataset that supports a HerdGuard model trained on real, verified rural events.
Built around rural / agricultural use
Designed for farms, ranches, and small operators — not generic perimeter security.
