AI-Cloud smoke detection SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)

By AdminOn

If you want to protect your property/family/community from wildfire and you have an internet-connected AXIS surveillance camera [1] pointing to the wildfire risky area, then you can use our AI-Cloud SaaS to detect wildfire smoke and mitigate wildfire risks and damages.

What is AI-Cloud SaaS?

It is a cloud-based service to detect wildfire smoke in the photos uploaded by users’ cameras. It will send wildfire smoke alerts to users via the ReportFires mobile app.

With AI-Cloud SaaS, we can easily use our cameras to detect wildfire in parallel with their day-to-day surveillance duties. There are three major components:

  • Your surveillance cameras: some of those cameras are outdoor and pointing to forests that are under wildfire threats. Without interruption of their surveillance tasks, we can instruct them in parallel to capture photos and send the photos to AI-Cloud over HTTPS POST [2].
  • AI Smoke Detection: AI-Cloud will identify wildfire smoke in the photos using our RoboticsCats AI Smoke Detection (which is developed by industry winning team! [3])
  • ReportFires mobile app: we will send real-time alerts to you using our mobile app. You can view the images in which we detect wildfire smoke. You can share the wildfire information by reporting it using the same ReportFires app too.

It is easy to set up your camera to use AI-Cloud SaaS, just three steps. Below is an example:

  1. Register an AI-Cloud SaaS account on our website. Your email address is your username. We will send you a unique camera-ID (e.g. qWeRtYuIoP47) assigned to your camera
  2. Set up an Event in your AXIS camera
    1. Create a new Recipients “AI-Cloud” with type HTTPS. We will provide you the hostname (e.g. hongkong20.roboticscats.com). The hostname and the camera-ID form the HTTP POST URL (e.g. https://hongkong20.roboticscats.com/qWeRtYuIoP47). See Figure 5
    2. Create a new Rule, select “Send images through HTTPS while the rule is active” under Action, select “AI-Cloud” under Recipient, check Custom image frequency option, put down “2” in frames, select “Minute” under Image frequency to upload a photo every 30-second. See Figure 6
  3. Download the ReportFires app from the App Store, register an account using the same email address you use in step #1.
