“I am pleased to announce a project with the Alberta Rocky Mountain Wildfire Management Area for the Nupoint Remote Viewer, a system to visually monitor prescribed burns remotely. We are confident that Remote Viewer will provide a simple cost effective way to monitor the dynamic conditions associated with fire monitoring.” said Wayne Carlson, President and CEO of Nupoint Systems Inc.
Remote Viewer is quick and easy to set up and provides users with a cost effect way to visually monitor remote locations by combining digital photography with satellite connectivity. Photos can be captured autonomously, on demand, or of a local triggered event and are transmitted to the user’s server or sent via email. Multiple users are able to receive the photos, helping provide a seamless transition from one crew change to the next. Users can dynamically change the photo schedule or request a photo to check on the current status of the site.
