Deploying a Silvanet wildfire detection system in a Site consists of the following:
Plan the Site: Plan the locations of the Silvanet Border Gateways, Mesh Gateways and Wildfire Sensors using the Pre-planning tool available provided in the Site Management app.
Deploy Silvanet Devices: Register and mount the Silvanet devices using the Deployment app, followed by connectivity tests for Mesh Gateways and Border Gateways. The Wildfire Sensors require a 14 day calibration period to be ready for wildfire detection.
With your user credentials provided to you, sign in to the Site Management app.
Select or create a Site. This is used to define the deployment of Silvanet devices. After deployment, it displays data from Wildfire Sensors, including Fire alerts.
Pre-plan the Site using the Pre-planning tool to generate coverage estimations, including the location and number of Silvanet Border Gateways, Mesh Gateways and Wildfire Sensors.
Export the planning summary which is made available in the Deployment app installed on your Smartphone.
After estimating the required number of Border Gateways, Mesh Gateways and Wildfire Sensors for your Site, you are ready to begin deploying the devices based on the plan.
Before deploying the Silvanet Gateways and Wildfire Sensors, ensure you are prepared in advance.
Review the Preparation guidelines.
Pack the appropriate deployment tools, including a foldable ladder and the necessary tools, as well as Silvanet devices you plan on deploying.
Ensure the Deployment app is installed on a Smartphone and the Smartphone is fully charged, then run the app.
Open the Site which displays the results of the exported Planning Summary from the Pre-planning tool.
Begin by deploying the Border Gateway, based on the Planning Summary exported from the Pre-planning tool.
Follow the plan (exported Planning Summary) that describes how the Border Gateway obtains its power supply and Internet connectivity.
Using the Deployment app, select the Border Gateway from the list of devices. This shows the deployment location.
Once at the location, scan the device's QR Code to register the Border Gateway.
Use treenails (for trees) or C-Clamps (for poles) to mount the Border Gateway.
Use garden wire to mount the solar panel.
If a mains is available to provide a power supply, use the PoE Injector to connect to the mains. If a router is available, connect the router to the PoE Injector, as described in Border Gateway scenarios.
Run the Connectivity Test to ensure the Border Gateway has connectivity to the Silvanet Cloud.
With the Border Gateway connected to Silvanet Cloud (Connectivity test passed), deploy the Mesh Gateways based on the Planning Summary exported from the Pre-planning tool.
Using the Deployment app, select a Mesh Gateway from the list of devices. This shows the deployment location.
Once at the location, scan the QR Code to register the Mesh Gateway.
Using tree nails (for trees) or C-Clamps (for poles), mount the Mesh Gateway.
Run the Connectivity Test to ensure the Mesh Gateway is connected to the Border Gateway (for the first Mesh Gateway) or connected to at least two Mesh Gateways (subsequent Mesh Gateways).
Continue mounting the remaining Mesh Gateways planned for the Site.
With the Mesh Gateways connected (all Connectivity tests passed), deploy the Wildfire Sensors based on the Planning Summary exported from the Pre-planning tool.
Using the Deployment app, select a Wildfire Sensor from the list of devices. This shows the deployment location.
Once at the location, scan the QR Code to register the Wildfire Sensor.
Prepare mounting location on the tree.
Using a tree nail and spacer, mount the Wildfire Sensor.
Allow 14 days for the Wildfire Sensors to calibrate.
