Protecting the forest from fire through video-analytics

September 22, 2023

At Grekkom, we are committed to protecting the environment and preventing forest fires. That is why we have developed a video-analytics solution called Watchman, which uses cutting-edge technology to detect and prevent fires in real time.

In this post, we will explain what our solution consists of and what its 5 key points are.

Watchman uses thermal cameras and advanced algorithms to detect forest fires in real time

What is Watchman?

Watchman is a video-analytic solution that uses thermal cameras and advanced algorithms to detect forest fires in real time. The solution is easy to install and can be integrated with existing surveillance systems, making it a very versatile tool.

How does it work?

Watchman uses thermal cameras to capture real-time images of the forest. These images are analysed by advanced algorithms that look for patterns of heat and smoke. If a suspicious pattern is detected, an alert is sent to the fire prevention team, who can take immediate action to prevent the fire from spreading.

What are the 5 key points of Watchman?

  • Early detection: Watchman is able to detect fires in their early stages, allowing fire prevention teams to act quickly to prevent the fire from spreading.
  • Accuracy: Watchman’s advanced algorithms are able to distinguish between heat and smoke patterns caused by wildfires and other factors, such as sun or wind.
  • Integration: Watchman can be integrated with existing monitoring systems, allowing fire prevention teams to have a complete overview of the situation in real time.
  • Easy to use: Watchman is easy to install and use, which means that fire prevention teams can start using it quickly without the need for specialised training.
  • Cost savings: Early detection of wildfires can help reduce the costs associated with fire suppression and damage repair.
