Forest Fire Early Detection and Online Remote Monitoring Using Sensors

Pravin Tathod, Sourabh Jain

Abstract


Forest fire device networks represent a strong technology, particularly appropriate for environmental observation. With relation to wildfires, above all, they permit low-priced police work of venturesome locations like wild land urban interfaces. This report presents the work developed throughout the last 4 years targeting a fire device network node for the reliable, on-site detection of forest fires. The tasks dispensed ranged from detective work or sensing of conditions that rise to a fire, this method could be an advanced one dispensed primarily in three phases namely: (1) Detection/sensing of the flame through IR device and smoke through MQ2 device. (2) Transfer of the collected info to an overseas location through a network, employing a communication protocol like GSM. (3) Receiving of the transferred information by an acceptable platform/operating system that may showcase that information in an exceedingly usually comprehensible format giving indication concerning the atmosphere condition thereon explicit region.

Keywords
