Intelligence Design Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Takuji Nakazawa) has launched the nationwide partner rollout of its 'Wildlife Intrusion Detection System,' which uses AI-equipped cameras to detect wild animals such as bears, deer, and boars in real-time.

[Background and Social Challenges] In recent years, damage caused by wildlife has surged, becoming a serious social issue that poses safety risks in tourist and residential areas, in addition to crop damage. In fiscal year 2024, agricultural damage caused by wildlife reached approximately 18.8 billion yen. Conventional measures relying on patrols and reports often leave 'surveillance gaps' and place heavy human and cost burdens on communities.

[Solution Features] 1. Upgrading Existing Infrastructure: The system connects to existing IP and security cameras, enabling AI-powered, 24/7 real-time monitoring. 2. Instant Alerts and Deterrence: Upon identifying a target, the AI can trigger email/LINE notifications to administrators and activate local lights or speakers for deterrence. 3. Low-Cost Deployment: No large-scale capital investment is required, allowing for a flexible, 'small start' approach beginning with a single camera.

[Technical Advantages] The core 'IDEA counter box' utilizes an 'Edge AI' approach, completing processing on-site. Image data is neither saved nor transmitted; only analysis results (numerical data) are sent to the cloud, ensuring complete personal privacy. Furthermore, 'pre-analysis' using existing footage is available to verify detection accuracy before full implementation.

[Partner Recruitment] The company is seeking partner companies (SIers, regional IT firms, security camera distributors) to handle sales and deployment. Looking ahead, the company plans to refine features based on feedback from municipalities and facility managers, with the goal of expanding into smart city initiatives and other broad fields.
