Firewall Scout: IoT-Based Fire Defense System

Overview

Firewall Scout is an IoT-based system designed to create a "digital defensible space," enhancing microclimate environmental monitoring and long-term threat detection capabilities. The solution integrates with existing LoRaWAN infrastructure to provide real-time monitoring and alerts, enabling individuals, land managers, or government agencies to proactively defend against developing hazards. During testing, the system demonstrated a 30% improvement in threat detection and reduced response times by 50%. Its scalable architecture makes it suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises. Firewall Scout represents a significant advancement in low-cost, long-term remote monitoring, offering a cost-effective and efficient way to protect land assets in an increasingly unstable climate.

Challenge

Traditional fire defense systems are often reactive and fail to provide comprehensive coverage. The challenge was to design an IoT-based solution that could proactively detect and mitigate threats.

Outcomes

• 30% improvement in threat detection
• Reduced response times by 50%
• Low cost solution for large scale deployment
