Flood Monitoring including Day and Night Camera
Changes in weather conditions couple with rising sea level has put many countries at greater risk to flood. Urban planners are turning to island wide flood detection system to provide them with yearly prospect of flood. With this information, greater capacity canals can be carved out in the heart of the city. With flood detection as an early warning device, resources can be diverted and dispached earlier to rural areas. Emergency units can react faster and dwellers can take earlier precaution to shift valuables and themselves to higher ground. As more city planners and developers are building downwards especially in the city area. It is paramount that flood detection can save underground shoppers, cars and workers from drowning.
How does it work? Flood monitoring sensors uses piezometric sensor to determine the height of water level. It is connected to a wireless programmable logger that samples the sensor at every 10 minutes. A all day camera is installed together with this unit as a photographic confirmation to trigger levels. All sensors are powered via 80W solar panel and readings can be viewed over online viewer and smart phones.
