Electric Fence Monitoring for Conservation
Game reserve and protected area perimeters are vast and hard to patrol. When an illegal intrusion or voltage drop occurs, it can go unnoticed until the next inspection.
Safora monitors your fence line around the clock and alerts rangers within the minute. LoRaWAN reaches remote sections with no mobile signal; the cellular version works anywhere there's coverage.
Safora is an officially supported technology in EarthRanger. Fence alerts appear directly in your dashboard alongside ranger positions and field activity.
What Safora brings to conservation
Sub-minute alerting
When a fence cut or fault occurs, your rangers are notified within the minute. In vast perimeters where the next patrol may be hours away, response time is everything.
With or without cellular coverage
Choose LoRaWAN connectivity for remote sites, or Cellular where you have reception. Same sensor, either way.
EarthRanger Integration
Safora is officially supported in EarthRanger. Fence alerts feed directly into your dashboard, appearing alongside ranger positions and other field activity in one place.
Solar-powered
Deployed once, running for years. No wiring, no battery swaps, no maintenance visits needed: critical for sensors covering remote sections of a reserve far from any infrastructure.
Intrusion and theft detection
If a device is moved or interfered with in the field, your team is notified immediately, protecting your monitoring infrastructure in areas that are difficult to patrol regularly.

You can also monitor from the Safora dashboard, with real-time mobile alerts on any fault.

We typically recommend one Fence Shield every 1–2 km of fence. More sensors make it easier to pinpoint where along the perimeter a fault is.
Each fault leaves a distinct voltage pattern. A drop to zero on every sensor at once usually means power loss, a dip that tapers off points to vegetation contact, and a uniformly low reading across the line often means poor grounding or a weak energizer battery.
Beyond fence monitoring, LoRaWAN sensors support anti-poaching, wildlife tracking, personnel safety, environmental monitoring, and reserve infrastructure. Our field guide covers sensors we've seen deployed across game reserves and protected areas.
LoRaWAN is a long-range, low-power radio network. A single gateway can cover up to 15 km of open terrain far from any mobile signal, and sensors run for years on a small battery or indefinitely on solar.
