Your surroundings talk.
Synse translates.

The freezer hinting it's about to quit. The lift station one stuck float from an overflow. The Saturday rush you can't quite prove. Synse listens around the clock and hands you the call to make, with dollars attached.

What data are you looking for?

Describe it in plain language. Synse's AI designs the right kit (which pods, which heads, where they go) and prices it in about two minutes. A human confirms every order within two business days, and no one calls unless you ask.

How Synse works

1
Describe the problem
Tell Synse what you need to know, in plain language. No part numbers, no spec sheets.
2
Get your kit
Synse designs a kit for your situation: which pods, which heads, where they go, and what it costs. It arrives pre-paired in a labeled box, or we come install it.
3
Hear what matters
An alert the moment something goes wrong, and a short weekly brief with recommendations and the estimated cost of each.

People come to Synse for two reasons.

Some signals are warnings. Some are opportunities. Synse makes sure you hear both.

The freezer that died Friday night. The leak that ran for a month. Equipment gives warnings long before it fails; Synse catches them in time to act.

Not everything is broken.
Some things are just unknown.
How many people walk in on a rainy Tuesday. How fast the creek is rising. Synse replaces guessing with numbers: it counts, it never identifies anyone.

Not another dashboard.

Synse turns raw readings into a short list of decisions: what to fix, what to buy, what to skip, and what each one is worth.

What people use Synse for.

Two ways to run it.

Same hardware, same alerts, same briefs, one monthly price with the equipment included. The difference is who climbs the ladder.

Self-install

Ships pre-paired and labeled; sticking it up is the install. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Synse kit box
Installed

For cities, schools, and multi-site. We install it and keep it running. Billed annually per site, so it fits an operating budget. No capital request, no bid.

No two kits are the same.

No wiring. No IT. No lock-in.

The Hub ships with its own cellular connection and is online within two minutes of being plugged in. Pods mount with magnets and run 2+ years on their internal battery. One monthly price includes the equipment, batteries, repairs, and upgrades. Cancel anytime: a prepaid return label comes with the kit, and the $99 deposit returns with the equipment. Installed service bills annually because that's what fits an agency's operating budget.

Common questions

What is Synse?+

Battery pods you stick on things, heads that turn them into different sensors, one hub with its own cellular, and a service that turns the readings into alerts and a one-page weekly brief with recommendations. You describe the problem; Synse designs the kit.

Is this an IoT platform?+

It's a box of sensors and a text message. So: no.

What's a head?+

A yellow-collared cap that clicks onto a pod's top and changes what it measures: temperature probes, leak rope, radar level, current clamps, contacts and pulses, Modbus, or vision. Swap it in seconds; every wired head is supervised, so a cut or unplugged lead reports itself instead of going silent.

Can it count people or track what customers do?+

It counts; it never identifies. The Vision head works everything out on the device and sends only numbers, over a radio physically too small to carry video even if someone wanted it to.

Do I buy the hardware?+

No. Synse owns every pod, head, and hub. One monthly price includes the equipment, batteries, repairs, and upgrades. Cancel anytime; a prepaid return label comes with the kit.

What does the $99 deposit get me?+

It reserves your kit and locks pilot pricing. Fully refundable any time before the kit ships. After shipping it becomes the equipment deposit, returned when the gear comes back.

How is it powered?+

One sealed USB-C on everything. Pods run 2+ years standalone, forever on any wall adapter, or off-grid on the Solar Charger. The Hub plugs into a wall, or powers itself on a pole with the Outdoor Power Kit.

Does it work with old equipment?+

Especially old equipment. Clamps go around existing wires, contacts land on floats and relays that are already there, and the Bridge head reads the 4–20 mA and Modbus instruments you already own. Nothing is cut, rewired, or replaced.

Do I need IT help to install it?+

No. The hub carries its own cellular (no Wi-Fi, no passwords, no port openings) and pods arrive pre-paired and labeled for each spot. If you'd rather not touch it at all, monitored service includes installation.

Will it ever tell me it can't help?+

Yes, and on purpose. Pressurized propane tanks, vehicles on the road, code-required safety alarms, anything that needs actual video: the designer will tell you no, tell you why, and offer the nearest thing it can honestly do.

Know before it costs you.

Reserve your kit for a refundable $99 deposit. One monthly price, hardware included, cancel anytime.
