No. Eve Simba is designed as a non-lethal deterrence system. It uses biodegradable .68 calibre projectiles formulated with natural PAVA-based compounds that create an unpleasant but harmless sensory experience. The goal is to discourage wildlife from entering protected areas — not to injure them. Animals are startled and deterred, not harmed.

Yes. Simba's on-board AI is trained to identify different types of animals — including bears, wolves, wild boar, and deer. You can configure the system to deter specific species (e.g. predators) while ignoring others (e.g. harmless wildlife), giving you highly targeted, intelligent protection.

This is Simba's most critical safety feature — the Human-Safety Bypass protocol. When a human is confidently detected in the frame, the firing mechanism is disabled. This makes Simba suitable for use in areas where hikers, farm workers, or visitors may be present. While no detection system is perfect and occasional false positives or missed detections can occur, the system is designed to avoid engaging human targets in virtually all real-world scenarios.

Yes — and this is one of Simba's most powerful advantages. The combination of audible warnings, physical impact, and scent-based deterrent compounds creates a strong negative association with the protected area. Over time, animals learn to avoid the zone entirely, making Simba increasingly effective the longer it's deployed. This conditioned avoidance means less ammunition usage and a more sustainable long-term solution.

Simba is purpose-built for agricultural and ecological protection — farms, orchards, vineyards, fish ponds, beehives, crop fields, and remote livestock areas. It's also used in wildlife conflict zones where traditional fencing or scarecrows have failed. Additionally, Simba can protect vulnerable animal species — such as ground-nesting birds, poultry, or small game — from predators like foxes, wild dogs, and raptors. Other use cases include guarding turtle nesting sites, aviaries, and rewilding areas against poaching. Anywhere animals cause recurring damage — or need protection from other animals — Simba offers a smart, automated, and humane alternative.

Yes. Simba offers two dedicated control platforms. For personal and small-scale use, the PTC App (available on iOS and Android) gives you full remote control — live video feed, real-time push notifications, and the ability to authorise or cancel deterrence actions from anywhere. For professional and large-scale deployments, the PTC Monitoring Centre is an enterprise-grade web-based platform that allows operators to manage multiple Simba devices simultaneously across various locations. When wildlife is detected, the monitoring centre operator can choose the appropriate response: send an audible warning siren, activate the marking action, or stand down. This level of response control is exclusively available through the Monitoring Centre.

Yes. By selecting User-Confirmation Mode, you disable all automatic fire. When a target animal is detected, the system sends an instant pop-up notification to your device with a live video feed, allowing you to assess the situation and manually authorise any deterrence action. Additionally, the PTC App features a dedicated Emergency Stop button that immediately halts all marking activity at any time — giving you absolute control, even mid-sequence. This is particularly useful in situations where you want to observe wildlife behaviour before deciding on a response.

Yes. Through the PTC App, you can switch between Autonomous Mode (fully automatic species-specific engagement) and User Approval Mode (you receive a live alert and manually decide). You can also turn the system off entirely when active deterrence isn't needed, or fine-tune which species to target and which to ignore.

Eve Simba features a full industrial-grade all-metal chassis with a camouflage finish — vandal-proof, tamper-resistant, and built to blend into rural and natural environments. The all-metal construction is designed to withstand not only harsh weather but also potential physical contact with wildlife, impacts from debris, and the rigours of remote agricultural deployment. Combined with its IP67 rating, Simba is built to last in conditions where other devices would fail.

Simba is built for the toughest outdoor conditions. Like Eve+ and Eve Pro, it features a full-metal, vandal-proof construction with an IP67 rating — fully dust-tight and protected against temporary submersion in water, heavy rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The rugged all-metal chassis is designed to withstand not only harsh weather but also potential contact with animals, making it ideal for exposed rural and agricultural deployments.

Yes. Simba features infrared night vision effective up to 30 metres and operates 24/7 in temperatures from -10°C to 60°C. Its IP67-rated full-metal housing is designed for reliable performance in harsh weather — rain, snow, dust, and fog. That said, extreme conditions like heavy rain or dense fog can affect detection range and species identification accuracy. Simba remains operational and durable, but real-world performance depends on environmental clarity — a limitation shared by all remote detection systems.

Yes. Simba has low energy consumption and can be powered by solar panels with a battery system. Local operation works without internet — the AI detection and autonomous deterrence function fully offline. For remote monitoring and push notifications, a mobile internet connection (4G modem) is needed.

PaintCam is designed to comply with general non-lethal deterrence standards, but regulations around wildlife deterrence vary by country and region. We always recommend checking your local wildlife protection laws before deployment. Our team can help advise on compliance for your specific use case.

Same across all Eve models — up to 25 projectiles per load, effective marking distance of up to 20 metres, powered by a standard 16g CO2 cartridge delivering 15–25 shots per cartridge.

All PaintCam models, including Eve Simba, come with a one-year warranty and hassle-free replacement service.
