Hello all. New to Wyze and the forum and a dinosaur to boot. But here goes. Living in HI in Waikoloa, facing many miles of open lava fields prone to extreme brush fires. Lots of fast growing (and dying) grasses. Fuel. Lots of it. Last brush fire was an 18K acre monster moving at 40-60 MPH.
Sooo, was thinking if the upper spectral sensitivity of the cameras’ sensor extended toward or beyond 2,000 nM or beyond, there might be enough sensitivity to pick up the ignition ‘bloom’ in the IR spectrum at some distances (miles). Don’t need thermographic discrimination, only the awareness of an ‘ignition’ event. Add an IR bandpass (visible blocking) optical filter and modify your recognition logic and you’re off and running with a wildfire detector. Here in Hi (and CA, as well), we’re all on high alert, all the time.
There are some excellent papers on forest fire spectral chacteristics that are right on point. Many detector arrays are inherently responsive to far IR, but not often used in favor of cryo -cooled units with extreme sensitivity. Worth a look??
Wyze Cam Fire Detection
With the wildfires and current drought conditions across the US, please add fire detection to the Wyze camera AI. This type of notification would potentially get Fire crews enroute to a fire scene quicker minimizing damage and/or saving lives and property.
Fire early detection in wake of the Lahaina (2023) and Camp Fire (2018)
This is a suggestion to put a thermal imaging sensor in the Wyze Cam Pan v3 and install it on the rooftop of buildings to scan the horizon for fires. This unit shall be UPS backed up in case the power goes out (the user will also need to UPS their router and/or Wyze Mesh). The purpose is to notify the occupants of any encroaching fires especially in the middle of the night. If there are additional units installed in other roof tops, the AI will triangulate the fire location. The system will automatically use the moon to calibrate it’s orientation so no user calibration needed but GPS needed for setting location. Thanks.
