One thing that springs to mind is a monitor for predator (pest animal) traps in remote bush regions. The system spends most of its time asleep, and is woken and starts consuming power only when a PIR sensor is triggered from a visiting animal's body heat. Then the battery-sapping stuff happens to analyse video and differentiate between target and non-target species and finally trigger the trap or go back to sleep. A system like this would be an ecological game changer in my country.

The animal would probably be long gone by the time this thing boots and loads the model.

  It’s got a low power mode where it can still do some processing: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hS-NiaGeeVA https://youtube.com/watch?v=hS-NiaGeeVA

  Not sure about that, but animals are cautious and will usually interact with a baited trap for some minutes.
