Early Wildfire Detection & Alert System
Inspired by wildfire incidents in Los Angeles, FireWatch Pro is a hardware-software solution that detects fires in remote areas (e.g., farms, forests) and sends real-time alerts with geolocation to users and emergency services. The system combines IoT sensors, a mobile app, and cloud infrastructure to prevent disasters.
Wildfires in remote regions often go undetected until they escalate. Traditional systems lack real-time geolocated alerts, leaving farmers and landowners vulnerable.
- Hardware Device: Detects fires using multi-sensor technology.
- Mobile App: Sends alerts with GPS coordinates to users and fire departments.
- Premium Features: Custom software for large-scale deployments (e.g., farms, industrial sites).
- Sensors:
- Smoke (MQ-2/MQ-135)
- Temperature (DS18B20)
- Gas (CO/CO₂)
- Thermal camera (FLIR Lepton) for AI-based flame detection
- Microcontroller: Raspberry Pi/Arduino with cellular/LoRaWAN module.
- Connectivity: 4G/5G, LoRaWAN, or satellite for remote areas.
- Power: Solar-powered battery with low-energy mode.
- Cloud Platform: AWS IoT Core (or Azure IoT Hub) for device communication.
- Data Processing: AWS Lambda (Python/Node.js) to analyze sensor data.
- Database: DynamoDB/AWS Timestream for storing incident history.
- APIs: RESTful endpoints for app integration.
- Frontend: Flutter (cross-platform compatibility).
- Features:
- User registration/authentication (Firebase Auth).
- Device pairing via QR code/device ID.
- Real-time alerts with GPS coordinates (Google Maps API).
- Incident history dashboard.
- Premium tier: Custom reporting, multi-device management.
PyroWatch is more than just a wildfire detection system; it's a proactive step toward safeguarding lives, property, and the environment. By integrating cutting-edge IoT hardware, robust cloud infrastructure, and an intuitive mobile app, FireWatch Pro empowers individuals and organizations to respond to wildfires before they become uncontrollable. Its scalability and premium features ensure that both small landowners and large-scale operations can benefit from this life-saving technology. Together, we can mitigate the devastating impact of wildfires and build a safer, more resilient future.
