Frost Detection Kit
INCYT Stream: With INCYT Stream you pay a small monthly fee to have this sensor on your farm instead of having to pay upfront hardware costs and buy equipment ‘outright’. INCYT’s Stream fees include the usual monthly data subscription fees, so there’s nothing more to pay! With INCYT Stream we own the equipment and you Stream (Lease) it for a monthly fee, giving you access to unmatched support and benefits such as:
- INCYT Protect, your hardware cover for accidents, thefts, and damage outside of warranty
- INCYT Evolve, giving you the opportunity to upgrade to the latest INCYT technology as it’s developed, so you don’t have to worry about outdated technology.
- Access to our full product range
- Local inventory in most Australian Regions
- Best-in-class on-farm support
Outright: With an outright purchase of this sensor you own the hardware. The only thing left to pay is the monthly data fee. Included in this purchase is a 6-months ‘standard’ data plan, giving you sampling and data transmission every hour, and up to 5 years battery life for your blue node.
OVERVIEW
Monitor your crop and be alerted of frost events and their severity (duration and temperature) with Australia's most cost-effective and accurate Frost Detection Kit! INCYT's frost detection solution accurately identifies frost-affected areas and assesses the extent of the damage, providing a cost-effective and standalone solution for precise frost monitoring anywhere on your farm.
HOW IT WORKS
You can set the INCYT app to send you an alert when a frost occurs, and also track historic temperatures to find out exactly how severe a frost event was (temperature and duration). No base station or additional network infrastructure is required; all you need is LTE-M connectivity via Telstra or any other major provider (available in most areas, even without 3G or 4G). This coverage map shows you whether you have LTE-M available on your farm.
Sensor sampling occurs every 15 mins or 1/hour depending on plan selected and transmits that data once per day unless it detects a frost. During frost event the sensor sampling occurs more frequently. The app reports the degree-hours below your set threshold, to give the user an idea of frost severity.
