What is the Silvanet Wildfire Sensor and how does it work?

The Silvanet Wildfire Sensor is a solar-powered environmental device developed by Dryad, designed for ultra-early detection. Installed directly on trees, the sensor continuously monitors for gas emissions and environmental anomalies associated with fire ignition.

The Silvanet Wildfire Sensor is designed for ultra-early detection, identifying forest fires within minutes to minimize damage and impact.

Sensitive to Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide and other gasses, this “electronic nose” can smell fires as early as the smoldering phase, enabling firefighters to extinguish them before they spread. It also monitors microclimate conditions by measuring temperature, humidity, and air pressure.

The sensor employs highly sensitive gas detection with built-in AI to ensure accurate fire detection and minimize false alarms.

Using LoRaWAN for wireless data transmission, the sensor operates maintenance-free for 10-15 years and uses supercapacitors instead of batteries, eliminating the need for lithium and other toxic materials.
