Do the sensor nodes use batteries or solar power?
We have designed our FireSense sensor nodes to be versatile. Additionally, they can operate on long-lasting batteries and also have the option to be powered by solar panels for extended use.
How many sensor nodes are required per 10,000 hectares?
For optimal coverage, we recommend deploying approximately 60 FireSense sensor nodes per 10,000 hectares.
What is the installation process for sensor nodes?
By and large, the installation process is straightforward. Furthermore, our team can conduct site assessments and install the nodes, or we can provide guidance for self-installation. Additionally, the nodes are designed for easy deployment in various terrains.
How does the AI-based smoke detection camera work?
The cameras use AI algorithms to analyze video feeds in real-time, thereby detecting signs of smoke and fire. They can differentiate between smoke and other atmospheric conditions, reducing false alarms
Can SenseNet integrate with existing infrastructure?
Absolutely. Moreover, SenseNet is designed to seamlessly integrate with your current systems and technologies, enhancing your existing wildfire detection and management capabilities.
What is the range of each sensor node?
Generally, each FireSense sensor node has a detection range that varies based on terrain and vegetation. However, it typically covers several hundred meters.
How does SenseNet ensure the accuracy of fire detection?
We use advanced sensors, coupled with AI-driven analytics, and cross-verification with camera and satellite data to ensure high accuracy in fire detection. Additionally, this comprehensive approach enhances our overall monitoring capabilities.
What kind of maintenance do the sensor nodes require?
as a matter of fact, our sensor nodes are designed for low maintenance. Therefore, they are robust and can operate in various environmental conditions, requiring minimal upkeep.
How does the real-time alert system work?
When a potential fire is detected, the system immediately sends alerts via email, text message, or mobile app notifications, providing details like location, camera snapshots, and sensor data.
Can the system detect wildfires at night or in poor visibility conditions?
Our system is equipped with thermal imaging and AI algorithms that enable detection in low visibility conditions, including night time.
Is there a mobile app for monitoring and receiving alerts?
We offer a mobile app for real-time monitoring and receiving alerts, providing flexibility and convenience to our users.
What types of environments are SenseNet products suitable for?
As a matter of fact,, we offer a mobile app for real-time monitoring and receiving alerts, providing flexibility and convenience to our users.
Is the system applicable for purposes beyond wildfire detection?
We have designed our products for a variety of environments, including forests, grasslands, and urban interfaces near wilderness areas.
How does SenseNet contribute to environmental conservation?
While primarily designed for wildfire detection, our system can also be useful in monitoring environmental conditions and other emergency situations.
What support does SenseNet offer post-installation?
By providing early detection and efficient management of wildfires, SenseNet helps protect natural habitats, wildlife, and reduces the carbon footprint associated with large-scale fires. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in sustainable environmental conservation.
Are the cameras and sensor nodes integrated?
We offer comprehensive support, including regular software updates, technical assistance, and system optimization to ensure your SenseNet solution continues to function effectively. Additionally, our team is committed to addressing any evolving needs or challenges you may encounter.
Do the cameras provide recorded videos and screenshots of events?
Yes, our cameras and sensor nodes are fully integrated. Consequently, the sensor nodes trigger the cameras to focus on areas where potential fire events are detected, ensuring a coordinated response.
How often does the thermal imaging technology provide images?
Absolutely. Furthermore, our cameras record videos and take screenshots of events, providing visual evidence and aiding in further analysis and verification of the detected threats.
What is the sensing interval of the sensor nodes?
The thermal imaging feature is designed to provide images every 5 minutes, ensuring consistent monitoring and timely detection of heat signatures indicative of fires. Moreover, this capability enhances the system's overall responsiveness.
Can the sensor nodes function in extreme weather conditions?
The sensing interval of our sensor nodes is adjustable. Furthermore, it ranges from as frequent as every 30 seconds during fire seasons to several minutes during less risky periods like winter.
Can the sensors operate in hot conditions?
Yes, our sensor nodes are built to withstand extreme weather conditions. Additionally, they are waterproof and can resist temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.
Can the sensors distinguish different sources of gases?
we have designed our sensors to function effectively in hot conditions, enduring temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius. Additionally, they demonstrate remarkable durability and reliability in challenging environments.
Do the cameras have the capability to scan 360 degrees automatically?
Our sensors are sophisticated enough to distinguish between different gas sources. Additionally, they can differentiate between gases from a campfire, wildfire, and other non-fire-related but abnormal gas emissions.
How does SenseNet ensure data accuracy and reliability?
Yes, our cameras are equipped with an automatic 360-degree scanning feature. Moreover, this allows for comprehensive monitoring, ensuring no area within their range is left unchecked.
Is there a training program for new users of the SenseNet system?
At SenseNet, we employ advanced algorithms and cross-referencing techniques. Furthermore, we use data from multiple sources like sensors, cameras, and satellites to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information provided.
