Protect What
Matters Most
From Above.
Geek Inc Solutions builds AI-powered drone intelligence systems for wildlife conservation, farm security, and aerial monitoring across Africa. Real-time. Offline-capable. Built for the bush.
The Challenges We Face
Wildlife Under Threat
South Africa lost 499 rhinos to poaching in 2023 — roughly one every 18 hours (DFFE, 2024). Rangers patrol vast, remote reserves with outdated tools and no real-time aerial intelligence.
Farm & Reserve Security Gaps
Game farms and commercial properties face perimeter breaches, stock theft, and intrusions that traditional security cannot catch in time.
Manual Counting is Costly
Annual wildlife censuses and livestock audits are slow, expensive, and prone to human error, leaving managers with inaccurate data.
Core Focus Areas
Purpose-built intelligence solutions for Africa’s unique operational environments.
Wildlife Conservation
We equip conservation rangers and reserve managers with AI-driven aerial intelligence. Drones equipped with our platform detect and identify animals, vehicles, and persons in real-time — even in remote areas with no internet. Data stays private, local, and under your control.
- Real-time threat detection
- Offline AI inference
- Private data sovereignty
Farm & Game Reserve Security
Automated perimeter surveillance from the air. Our system alerts operators the moment an intrusion, vehicle, or suspicious activity is detected — day or night — allowing rapid response before incidents escalate.
- Automated perimeter patrols
- Night-vision & thermal AI support
- Instant operator alerts
Animal Counting & Census
Replace costly, error-prone manual counts with automated aerial surveys. Our AI identifies and tallies individual animals by species, producing geotagged reports that give reserve managers accurate, auditable population data in a fraction of the time.
- Automated species identification
- Geotagged population reports
- Fraction of traditional costs
Anti-Poaching Patrols
Our drones autonomously patrol reserve boundaries and farm perimeters overnight and on-demand, detecting and alerting rangers to human intrusions before incidents occur. Every sighting is logged with GPS coordinates for legal and conservation records.
- Autonomous patrol routes
- Night-time human detection
- Geotagged incident logging
How It Works
Fly
A drone surveys your land, reserve, or perimeter following automated or manual routes.
Detect
Our on-board AI identifies animals, people, and vehicles in real-time — no cloud required.
Act
Instant alerts, geotagged reports, and session data give your team the intelligence to respond.
What this means in practice
-
Works without cell signal
All detection happens on the device itself. No internet connection needed in the field — alerts and logs work the same whether you have LTE or not.
-
One operator, one screen
Your ranger or farm manager controls everything from a handheld controller. No server room, no IT department, no specialist on call.
-
Your footage stays on your property
Video and detection data are stored locally — not sent to overseas servers. You remain in control of your footage, and it never crosses a border without your say-so.
-
Gets smarter for your terrain
The system learns from your specific land — bushveld, thicket, highveld, or vineyard. Detection improves the more it flies your property, not someone else's.
The Geek Inc Advantage
Offline-First
Full AI capability in the field with zero internet dependency.
Edge AI
Processing happens on-device, not in the cloud. Zero latency, zero data leaks.
Custom Models
AI trained specifically for your species, terrain, and threats.
Data Sovereignty
Your patrol routes, wildlife locations, and operational data never leave your control.
Africa-Built
Designed for African conditions: remote areas, low connectivity, ARM hardware.
POPIA-Aligned
Built around South African data protection requirements — your data stays under your control.
The GIS Suite
Five specialized applications. One integrated ecosystem for drone intelligence.
GIS Drone App
The intelligence hub. Mission planning, AI model training, live analysis and reporting — all from a single desktop workstation.
GIS Controller App
The field app. Runs on your DJI RC Plus 2. Live detections, alerts, and session recording — no data connection required.
GIS Annotation Studio
Precision dataset labelling for AI training. Annotate drone footage with bounding boxes, track objects, and export directly to YOLO format.
Annotation Studio ENT
Enterprise-grade annotation with team collaboration, review workflows, and project management for large-scale AI training pipelines.

GIS Authenticator
Secure TOTP-based two-factor authentication for GIS Suite operators. Offline-capable and biometric-protected access on Android.
Deployed Across South Africa
Designed for South African conditions and aligned to local data-protection regulation (POPIA) — your patrol routes, video, and detections stay under your operational control.

Hardware suited to remote ARM (NVIDIA Jetson) and x86 platforms, with full offline operation for low-connectivity areas.
Built For The Mission
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions from reserve managers, farmers and security operators.
What does it cost?
Pricing is quoted per deployment because hardware, AI model, and integration needs vary widely between a single-game-farm rollout and a multi-reserve enterprise programme. Quotes are issued in ZAR and we accept EFT. Contact us with your operational profile and we’ll respond with a ballpark within two business days.
How long does setup take?
A typical single-site deployment is 2–4 weeks from order to first live flight. That includes hardware preparation, on-site model tuning to your local species and terrain, and operator training. Enterprise rollouts across multiple reserves are scoped individually.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The GIS Drone App and Controller run fully offline. AI inference, mission planning, telemetry recording, and detection logging all happen on-device. When a connection becomes available, sessions sync to your private database. Nothing is cloud-locked.
How do you handle data privacy (POPIA)?
Your patrol routes, wildlife locations, video footage, and detection data stay under your operational control. The system is built around POPIA’s eight conditions for lawful processing — including data sovereignty (data stored in South Africa), purpose-bound retention, user access & correction rights, and an auditable processing register. We’re happy to share our Information Officer details and processing register on request.
What hardware do I need?
The platform supports a range of off-the-shelf drones (DJI Matrice and similar) plus an NVIDIA Jetson edge computer or a Linux workstation. We can supply turnkey hardware bundles or work with your existing fleet. The Controller app runs on the DJI RC Plus 2; the Annotation Studio and Authenticator apps run on standard Android tablets and phones.
Tailored Intelligence for
Your Operation
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our systems are built to meet the specific security and monitoring needs of your reserve or farm.
