SnailCam maps snail hotspots across your paddock while you drive, so you bait only where it matters — saving on inputs, reducing grain contamination at receival, and protecting crop yield.
Snail infestations are patchy — yet most paddocks still get blanket baited. SnailCam shows you exactly where the pressure is, so every dollar of bait and every minute of machine time works harder.
Protect your yield. Snails feed directly on emerging crops. Knowing where numbers are highest means you can knock populations down early — before they dent establishment and tonnes-per-hectare.
Keep your grain clean. Receival standards are strict, and contamination at the weighbridge is expensive. SnailCam flags high-risk zones before harvest so you can manage infested areas separately and avoid costly cleaning.
Spend less on bait. On real paddocks, variable-rate application driven by SnailCam maps has reduced bait applied by up to 70% — cutting chemical costs and off-target impact without losing control.
Five steps from mounting the camera to making better baiting and harvest decisions.
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.
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.
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.
Growers receive clear outputs that can be used to:
The goal is simple — apply effort where it delivers the most benefit.
SnailCam systems receive regular software and model updates based on new data and field experience, improving accuracy and performance over time.
Field-tested across real working paddocks in WA and SA — not lab conditions. Dust, vibration, night shifts, long days. It earns its place on your machine.
Every feature exists to move a number that matters — less bait, cleaner grain, protected yield. Shaped by direct grower input, not guesswork.
You get decisions you can act on: where to bait heavy, where to skip, which zones to segregate at harvest. Less admin, more paddock impact.
Mounts magnetically to any machine, runs offline from a tablet, and maps as you spray, spread, or drive. Turns routine passes into precision data.
