Detect and Map Snail Populations Across Your Paddock

SnailCam is a camera system that mounts to your machinery and captures snail data while you work. Using real-time GPS and computer vision, it builds detailed maps so you can target baiting where it matters most.

Smarter Decisions

SnailCam transforms raw detection data into heat maps that show exactly where snails are concentrated across your paddock.

With a clear picture of snail distribution, growers can apply bait at variable rates — heavier in hotspots, lighter in low-pressure zones. This precision approach reduces chemical use, lowers input costs, and minimises environmental impact without compromising pest control.

Detailed mapping also improves harvest planning. Knowing where snail numbers are highest lets you manage infested areas separately, reducing the risk of grain contamination and the cost of cleaning at receival.

Developed and field-tested on a farm in Esperance, Western Australia, SnailCam is built for the conditions broadacre growers actually work in — dust, vibration, variable light, and long days in the paddock.

Precision Map

Five steps from mounting the camera to making better baiting and harvest decisions.

1
Field Scanning

SnailCam is mounted on a vehicle or machine and captures high-resolution images as you drive through the paddock. The system is built to operate in real farm conditions — dust, vibration, and varying light.

2
AI Detection

Advanced computer vision models analyse the images to detect snails and estimate population levels. The system distinguishes patterns across the field to identify areas of higher pressure.

3
Mapping and Analysis

Detection results are processed into maps showing snail distribution and intensity. These maps highlight hotspots and low-risk zones so you can make informed decisions about baiting and management.

4
Actionable Insights

Growers receive clear outputs that can be used to:

  • Target bait applications
  • Monitor seasonal changes
  • Assess risk before harvest
  • Improve timing of control measures

The goal is simple — apply effort where it delivers the most benefit.

5
Continuous Improvement

SnailCam systems receive regular software and model updates based on new data and field experience, improving accuracy and performance over time.

What Makes SnailCam
Different

Built for Broadacre

Designed specifically for broadacre farming conditions — not adapted from lab or urban tech. It works in the dust, the heat, and the dark.

Designed With Growers

Developed with direct input from growers and refined through real deployments on working farms in Western Australia.

Practical Decisions, Not Just Data

The focus is on outputs that lead to action — targeted baiting, better harvest timing, and reduced waste. Not dashboards for the sake of it.

Easy to Integrate

Mounts magnetically to any machine, runs from a tablet, and fits into normal paddock operations without extra hassle or training.
