WHY AN IMAGE CAMERA?

DIGICAM camera to connect directly to the Hydro-Meteorological stations, as a useful complement to the measured parameter data provided by our remote stations.

The goal is to give reliable graphic evidence of river levels in situations of heavy rains, floods and storms as part of our RAINALERT Early Warning System, as well as for other scenarios, such as the presence of snow or the degree of visibility on roads (SAFEROAD System), the appearance of ski resorts or a beach, to provide the public with visual information on the environment, and even to sound the alarm if intruders enter the fenced enclosures of field weather stations, using the presence detectors connected to the cameras.

The camera has low power consumption, so it can be used in the field powered by the Hydro-Meteorological station itself, with the added advantage of being able to transmit the images over the same GPRS/3G/4G communication channel used by the station for data transmission. The alternative of communications via INMARSAT satellite with global coverage, allows images and data to be sent from any location in the world.
