Solar Fence IoT Monitoring System

Know the moment your electric fence stops protecting you.

Wireless sensing nodes watch every stretch of the perimeter and report faults to your phone — no daily patrols, no guesswork.

Also available as a dark-theme brochure.

The challenge

Solar fences fail silently. Intruders notice before you do.

Fallen trees & branches

Short the wires or snap strands after storms.

Creepers & vegetation

Grow along poles and wires, leaking current to earth.

Animals trapped

Entangled animals stretch, short or break the line.

Wire breaks & tampering

Open circuits leave whole sections unprotected.

Why it matters

A fence only deters while it is energised end to end

The fence
Remote industries and farmlands rely on solar electric fencing to keep out intruders, unwanted visitors and wild animals. It delivers very short, high-voltage pulses — a sharp, deterrent shock designed not to cause lasting harm.
The risk
A single fault can drag down the voltage along a long section — and nothing tells you it has happened.
The old way
Keeping a long perimeter healthy has meant walking it on a daily or regular basis. On a 10 km boundary that is slow, costly, and still leaves hours of exposure between inspections.
The solution

Continuous, wireless health monitoring for the entire fence

Sensing nodes installed along the fence watch the high-voltage pulses, detect anomalies and report them wirelessly. An IoT gateway carries every node's status to the cloud over 4G, so your operations team or the farmer can see which segment has a problem and go straight to it.

Low fence voltage

Pulse amplitude falling below a healthy level along a segment.

Short / earth leakage

Vegetation, fallen trees or trapped animals loading the line.

Open circuit

Broken or cut wire — pulses no longer reach the segment.

Energiser off

No pulses anywhere: energiser, battery or solar supply issue.

Node offline

A sensing node stops reporting — flagged for attention.

Fault location

Alert names the node, narrowing the search to one segment.

Manual patrols vs IoT monitoring

Manual patrols

  • Daily walks along kilometres of fence
  • Faults found hours or days late
  • Whole perimeter searched to find one problem
  • No record of when or how often faults occur

With IoT monitoring

  • Fence health visible around the clock
  • Alerts as soon as an anomaly is detected
  • Team goes straight to the affected segment
  • Fault history to plan vegetation clearing
How it works

From fence wire to your phone — in four steps

Sensing nodes are placed along the fence — for example every 500 to 750 m on a 10 km perimeter. Every node communicates directly with one IoT gateway over RF wireless. The gateway uses 4G to reach Creatronix Cloud, where status and alerts can be viewed on a desktop, laptop or mobile.

  1. SenseEach node monitors the fence pulses on its segment and looks for anomalies.
  2. TransmitNodes report wirelessly over RF straight to the IoT gateway — no field cabling.
  3. ConnectThe gateway relays all node data over 4G LTE to Creatronix Cloud.
  4. ActTeams see the faulty segment on screen and dispatch someone to fix it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What faults does the system detect?

Low fence voltage, shorts and earth leakage, open circuits from broken or cut wire, an energiser that is off, and sensing nodes that stop reporting.

Does it need cabling along the fence?

No. Sensing nodes report to the IoT gateway over RF wireless, and the gateway uses 4G to reach the cloud.

How many sensing nodes are needed?

Typically one node every 500 to 750 m, so a 10 km perimeter needs about 14 to 20 nodes. The final count is set after a site survey.

Where do I see the alerts?

On a desktop, laptop or mobile. Each alert names the node, so your team goes straight to the affected segment.
