Wildfires result in 0ver 12 Million acres of forests burning every year in the USA and Canada
Early Wildfire Detection & Monitoring
Climate change is worsening the situation every year. The forest fires create air pollution, and damage the local ecosystem, in addition to wasting valuable forest resources and burdening the fire-fighting resources resulting in billions of dollars of financial impact. Quicker wildfire detection is important to minimize the damage.
The wildfires are hard to detect. The satellite detection is not accurate enough or real-time. Most forest fire alerts originate through manual reporting.
Nuvis Technologies in partnership with Amplicam is offering a proven cutting-edge AI-based computer-vision solution to automate the detection and monitoring of forest fires.
The Early Wildfire Detection & Monitoring system benefits include:
- Realtime monitoring of over 1000 sq. km area by each camera
- Automation resulting in quicker and better detection of smoke and fire
- Only one dispatcher for 35 cameras
The salient features of the solution include:
- Fast information exchange and rapid reaction
- Cameras fully scan 360 degrees of the surveillance area once every 10 minutes
- The system registers dangerous events and sends an alert to the system operator
- Unique and proprietary fire location calculation algorithm
It is an integrated solution, combining a video surveillance system, server platform system and specialized software, geographic information system (GIS), security tools, and data transmission channels into a single solution.
The main functionality includes:
- Automated wildfire detection at an early stage
- Link of camera view with information on the interactive map
- Fire location (coordinates, azimuth) and fire area
- Automatic fire alarm
- Keeping a fire ticket, where tasks are formulated and monitored
- Control over fire-fighting resources & equipment
- Reporting
It is a unique cross-platform video surveillance and remote monitoring system that supports an unlimited number of cameras simultaneously, with each camera’s viewing range extending up to 35km with a smoke/fire detection range of about 18km. The system can detect smoke with an accuracy of 250m.
As a Systems Integrator, Nuvis Technologies Inc. provides a complete solution that includes all the required Cameras, Remote Communication Systems, Remote Power Systems, Software, and Hardware along with installation, configuration, and maintenance services across North America.
