Fence Shield Overview
The Safora Fence Shield is a solar-powered LoRaWAN sensor that monitors electric fence voltage 24/7. It detects cuts, voltage drops, short circuits, and tampering, then sends alerts to the Safora dashboard or mobile alerts within seconds.
Key capabilities
- Fence fault detection: cuts, voltage drops, short circuits
- Tamper and theft detection: movement or interference with the device
- Sub-minute alert latency: under 60 seconds from fault to notification
- Hourly telemetry updates: regular voltage and health readings
- Solar-powered: integrated panel and LiFePO4 battery
- LoRaWAN connectivity: up to 15 km range (depends on setup and terrain); no SIM card required at the sensor
- Energizer compatibility: works with a wide range of electric fence energizers; configurable voltage thresholds per deployment
- Network compatibility: compatible with existing LoRaWAN networks as well as Safora-provided LoRaWAN gateways
