Weather and environmental monitoring by WaterView

WaterView uses floodCAM on Axis cameras to draw a control area on the road surface to trigger an alert when the detected water surface is larger than a threshold percentage of the control area. Detecting flooded areas on urban roads is helpful in traffic and driving safety.

Detect changes of water level in rivers, creeks and channels with WaterView floodCAM on an Axis camera. Draw some stacked control areas on the river bank (or on another vertical surface), and set a threshold for each control area, to be notified when the water level gradually rises above multiple safety values.

WaterView uses smoCAM to send early warnings for wildfires that may put natural areas at risk. Install a network of Axis cameras equipped with smoCAM, set one or more control areas for each camera view, and set rules to send images or messages whenever a smoke plume or a flame is detected inside a control area.

WaterView detect low visibility areas along road networks, to promptly notify drivers on the go via variable message panels. Use Axis cameras along the road to continuously estimate the visibility distance, and set a minimum value to trigger automatic updates of warnings displayed by variable message panels.
