The Wildfire Sensor data panel in the Site View of the Silvanet Site Management App displays real-time environmental data collected by deployed sensors.
This data is essential for early wildfire detection and forest monitoring.
How to Access
Go to the Silvanet Site Management App
Navigate to your selected Site
Scroll to the Wildfire Sensor Data section within the Site View
What You’ll See
The default period is 24 hours. Select a time period for the displayed data sent in a range of 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or 10 days. Each data row represents a single sensor and includes the following columns:
| Column | Device | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Air Pressure | Wildfire Sensor | Displays the environment's barometric Pressure (in hPa) over a selected time period. |
| Temperature | Wildfire Sensor | Displays the air temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on user settings) over a selected time period. |
| Humidity | Wildfire Sensor | Displays the humidity level in the environment over a selected time period. |
| Air Quality | Wildfire Sensor | Displays the quality of the air available in the environment around the sensor. |
| Energy Level | Gateways and Sensors | Displays the level of energy stored in the supercapacitors throughout the day and during the night. Under normal conditions the Silvanet device should have sufficient energy stored to remain powered up throughout the night. |
After the Wildfire Sensor has been calibrated, the gas sensor continuously monitors the microclimate of the forest air to measure:
This continuous monitoring allows the Wildfire Sensor to distinguish between normal and declining Air Quality:
Normal Air Quality:
- Normal Air Quality is the baseline reading of the Wildfire Sensor. It is the result of the 14 day calibration period of the sensor.
- This process continues after calibration.
Declining Air Quality:
- When the Air Quality deviates from the baseline reading (Normal Air Quality), this is considered a decline of Air Quality.
- However, this decline could have many causes. It could be the result of similar gasses which the sensor has detected. These gases could be diesel fumes from a passing truck, chainsaw operating nearby with two-stroke fuel or other factors that can cause a decline in air quality.
- The role of the Wildfire Sensor is to determine if this decline is the result of a smoldering fire or some other source.
