What is FireWatch

FireWatch is composed of two parts:

1. A spectrally filtered low noise high performance

camera system based on scientific instruments developed for space mission

2. A highly advanced image processing system that

automatically will detect a smoke column in a digital image FireWatch is a technology transfer project developed by DLR And commercialized by IQ Wireless GmBH Range up to 10-15 km
