Overview

What it is.

A hardened sensor unit that listens for acoustic and ground-vibration signals and reports on what it detects.

System role

Where it fits.

It is the cheapest way to make a large area or a long structure noticeable when something changes.

Configuration

Configure system.

The hub is fixed; the sensor types attached to it are not. Acoustic, seismic, or both, depending on what the site needs to notice.

Context

In this context: Structural monitoring of bridges and dams.

Deployment

  • Fixed
  • Infrastructure

Scope

What it is not.

It reports events; it does not act on them. It is a listening device for structures and terrain, not a surveillance system aimed at people.
