Dryad Documentation

Dryad developed the Silvanet Wildfire Detection System to detect within minutes smoldering fires in forests and sends Fire alerts (email and web-based) to registered users.

This system consists of a network of Silvanet Sensors which are permanently attached to trees about 3 meters above the forest floor. Each sensor sends periodic messages about the environmental to the Silvanet Cloud via an in-forest Mesh network consisting of Silvanet Mesh Gateways and Silvanet Border Gateways.

If any sensor detects a smoldering fire, automated notifications are immediately sent via the Mesh network and Internet to users.
