Spot ignitions before they spread.
Wildfires are growing larger, faster, and more destructive. Most ignitions are detected only after they're visible from satellites or call-ins from the public. Overwatch closes the detection gap with continuous, on-the-ground edge monitoring.
Minutes matter.
A wildfire that's caught in the first 15 minutes can be contained with a single engine. A wildfire caught two hours later may need a hundred engines and an air operation — and may not be containable at all.
Overwatch's multi-modal sensor nodes detect smoke signatures, thermal anomalies, and vegetation moisture levels along high-risk corridors — utility right-of-way, parkland boundaries, urban-wildland interfaces — and route alerts to the dispatch systems response teams already use.
On-device inference means a node can fire an alert in seconds, with no dependency on a cloud round-trip. Mesh networking means the alert gets out even when a neighbor node is destroyed.
Detect
Multi-modal sensing: visible-light, thermal, smoke chemistry, acoustic. Cross-referenced on-device to reduce false alarms.
Verify
Live imagery + AR overlay delivered to dispatch + first-responder devices, so the team rolling out has eyes on before they arrive.
Dispatch
Direct integration with existing CAD + GIS systems. Alerts route to the same screens the dispatcher is already watching.
