Self-hosted
Dashboard + history live on your property — not in someone else’s cloud.
Keep eyes on your hunting lodge, cabin, or rural acreage from anywhere. Get instant alerts for intrusion, gates/doors, freeze & flood, and power loss — plus optional Local Visit Service when you need boots on the ground.
OTGRND installs a small on-site computer (Raspberry Pi 5) that runs your dashboard and stores data locally. You check in over an encrypted VPN from anywhere. Alerts arrive by text/email when something needs attention. Great for cabins and lodges, farm outbuildings and barns, pump houses, tobacco curing sheds, remote gates, ponds, and hunting properties.
Dashboard + history live on your property — not in someone else’s cloud.
Encrypted WireGuard VPN so only you (and trusted contacts) can reach the system.
Internet down? Local logging and automations keep working until service returns.
You own the hardware and the data. Optional services are truly optional.
Open/close events, tamper notifications, optional snapshots.
Driveway, trail, or building perimeter with adjustable sensitivity.
Freeze (low temp), humidity, leak, sump/well pump status, tank levels.
Power loss/restore, generator runtime, maintenance reminders.
On-site recording/NVR with optional snapshots in alerts.
“If temp < 35°F, text me and turn on heat,” and other automations.
Best for: Remote cabins/lodges without house internet.
Popular add-ons: 2–6 cameras, door sensor kit, temp/flood kit, siren/strobe, solar/battery.
Best for: Barn/shed ½–3+ miles (LoS) from a house with internet.
Popular add-ons: 2–8 cameras, gate monitor/control, tank-level sensors, pump automation.
Best for: Many dispersed sensors across acreage with long battery life.
Popular add-ons: Weather station, soil moisture, ultrasonic tank level, long-range panic button.
We’ll survey your site and recommend the best fit. Many properties end up with FarmLink + ShedNet for broad coverage.
Use cellular where no house internet exists. Medium bandwidth—great for alerts + cameras (with data planning).
House → barn/shed over 0.5–3+ miles line-of-sight. High bandwidth—ideal for multiple cameras & dashboards.
Acreage-scale coverage for low-power sensors. Low bandwidth—not for video; perfect for doors/temp/tanks.
We route an outbound WireGuard tunnel site→home (or an OTGRND relay you control) so you can still “reach in” privately.
Map distances, power, line-of-sight. Pick a package and add-ons.
Mount radios/sensors, install Pi 5, set up WireGuard & local storage.
Connect via private VPN; we configure text/email rules you can adjust anytime.
Schedule routine checks or call us after an alert for on-site verification.
Ride-through for short outages; graceful shutdowns protect data.
Solar + battery kits for off-grid sheds, gates, and remote stations.
Rules continue to run even if the internet goes down.
Data and video stay on your Pi/NVR on-site.
No open ports, no public dashboards, per-device keys.
Individual profiles/keys with easy revocation.
Off-site backups to storage you own, if desired.
Camera/audio laws vary. We’ll help with sensor placement and signage.
Optional services: vegetation/LoS prep, conduit/power runs, pole setting, solar kits, cellular plan provisioning, annual inspection.
Start with a core kit and expand as you go. Most projects fall into these ranges:
ShedNet sensor starter: $$–$$$ •
FarmLink (P2P) with 2–4 cameras: $$–$$$ •
CabinLink (LTE) with 4 cams + storage: $$–$$$.
Get a site-specific quote with a quick survey. We’ll recommend the leanest build that meets your goals.
No. The system runs locally on your property. VPN provides private remote access.
Yes. Or we can provide and manage a business plan if you prefer.
We’ll explore alternate mounting, short poles, or a relay hop. LTE is the fallback.
Local logging continues. With LTE configured, alerts can still go out over cellular.
Absolutely. Start with sensors and add cameras or automation as you go.
Annual tune-ups available: radio checks, updates, alert rule review, enclosure cleaning.
Need boots on the ground? We provide scheduled and on-demand property checks: verify alerts, take photos/video, check buildings & gates, swap batteries, and handle seasonal prep. Trusted, local, and accountable.
Tell us what you want to monitor, where it sits, and the rough distance from the house. We’ll propose CabinLink, FarmLink, ShedNet, or a hybrid that meets your goals without overbuilding.
