Fire
Dry heath, moorland and forestry are vulnerable to wildfire, where minutes matter and early sight of smoke or flame lets crews respond before it spreads.
Timed capture. Generative AI reports a small contained fire on bare ground with a thin wisp of smoke and no spread into the vegetation. Logged and noted for the warden, no alert.
A timed capture. No PIR or radar involved; every frame is uploaded and read by generative AI.
Smoke does not trip a motion sensor, so the camera captures on a timer, every 30 minutes in the fire season, and every frame is uploaded. Generative AI reports any smoke or flame and whether it is contained or spreading; a small fire is logged, a spreading fire with a smoke column raises the alert.

- Timer only; PIR and radar off
- Schedule
- Capture every 30 minutes in the fire season, hourly otherwise. Every frame is uploaded.
- On the camera
- None. Smoke and flame are not motion, so nothing is filtered on the camera.
- Your criterion
Is there smoke or flame anywhere in the scene? If so, is it a small contained fire or a spreading fire with a smoke column?
