The FIREBird DEVICE
The FIREBird system continuously watches for small fires right as they ignite and promptly reports them.
Its 360‐degree wildfire detection is always on. By using a combination of wildfire‐specific thermal sensors, optical imaging, and advanced computer algorithms it sees what other systems miss.
Unmanned, autonomous operation eliminates the need for full‐time staff to monitor the system.
Wildfire Detection with FIREBird
- Continuous, 360-degree monitoring of the surrounding area is provided by 14 wildfire-specific thermal detectors and optical cameras.
- Depending upon terrain, fires as small as 2 acres can be detected out 10 miles.
- Fires as small as 3 feet by 3 feet can be detected as far as 400 feet from a FIREBird device.
- Even smaller fires can be detected at shorter distances.
- Multiple advanced neural‐network algorithms provide local determination of abnormal heat and fire events. These algorithms also minimize the likelihood of false or missed detections.
Comprehensive Fire Monitoring
- Cameras capture and transmit images of the surrounding area when a fire is detected. These images provide useful information for firefighters and create documentation to assist in determining the source of ignition.
- A built-in high accuracy weather station measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity; vital information for fire fighters when assessing the fire event.
- Continuous communication is ensured by built-in cellular and optional satellite radios.
- Days of power backup are provided by a built-in, fire resistant battery.
