A little bit about us

Hunting together has always been a tradition in Ulrik’s family.
So, of course there was great interest in bringing the newest technology to use in the hunting ground, when the son pursued his engineering degree.
 

Especially ecosystem and predator management through animal trap monitoring can become an unnecessarily unclear and cumbersome task of hunters.
Going out to the field and manually checking the life traps was not a popular task, since it is perceived as a waste of time and money for gas. Above a certain number of traps it is simply not possible to check each trap in the time intervals regulated by law. Also, the animals might be caught in the trap until the next check-up round.
 

There must be a smarter way to do it!
It was 2010 after all.

The first electronic trap monitoring devices were developed, switching to a more reactive approach. A machine should monitor the animal life trap 24/7 and notify the hunter as soon as the trap shuts. Like this the hunter only needs to drive out into the field to the specific trap that had a catch, reducing the waiting time of the animal in the trap as well.
 

But before the MinkPolice trap alarm was invented, all similar systems had to be configured by SMS from user to device, and there was no web interface for user friendly interaction with the devices.

At the latest, when multiple traps were placed to the hunting ground and several hunters should keep an eye on them together, it became apparent that the current solutions were clumsy and not scalable.
