Monitoring
The Sabre Outpost is equipped with advanced air quality sensors that continuously monitor and detect smoke, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide levels. These real-time measurements provide crucial data for early bushfire detection and environmental monitoring, ensuring rapid response to potential threats.
High-definition cameras capture still images that are analyzed using AI-driven smoke detection, offering an additional layer of fire monitoring. By combining visual detection with air quality data, the system enhances accuracy and minimizes false alarms, even in challenging conditions.
Additional sensors track heat, temperature, humidity, and light levels, helping to identify environmental changes such as cloud cover or smoke obstruction. A 9-axis movement sensor detects ground shifts and orientation changes, adding another dimension of situational awareness to remote monitoring locations.
Connectivity
The Sabre Outpost ensures seamless connectivity with a Starlink satellite connection, providing fast and reliable internet access even in the most remote locations. This high-speed link allows real-time data transmission, enabling continuous monitoring and quick response to potential threats.
Even if an Outpost goes offline, its built-in web service ensures that all collected data is securely stored and transmitted to a central location once connectivity is restored. This guarantees uninterrupted analysis and historical data tracking, enhancing long-term environmental monitoring.
Each Outpost features a WiFi access point, allowing units to communicate with one another and create a daisy-chained network for extended coverage. This also provides emergency WiFi access to people nearby, ensuring a critical communications channel when it’s needed most.
Control
The Sabre Outpost provides remote activation and control for critical equipment, including generators, flood lights, position strobes, sprinklers, and water pumps. These devices can be switched on or off manually, through a mobile app, or via a web-based control center, ensuring complete flexibility in response management.
With the ability to control up to 16 devices, or an unlimited number using downstream relays, the Outpost offers a scalable solution for managing on-site equipment. This ensures that essential systems can be deployed instantly, whether for fire suppression, visibility, or power management.
When equipment is manually activated on-site, the Outpost detects and logs the action, updating the dashboard in real time—even for users on the other side of the world. This visibility ensures that operators always have an up-to-date view of remote site conditions and responses.
Self-Sufficient
The Sabre Outpost is powered by solar panels that charge 30 amp-hour batteries, providing reliable, self-sustaining energy for all onboard systems. This ensures continuous operation, even in remote locations, without the need for external power sources.
Each unit features an integrated solar controller, intelligently managing energy distribution while monitoring power usage in real time. The system also estimates battery drain, allowing for proactive adjustments to maximize uptime and efficiency.
For extended operation during low sunlight conditions, the Outpost can automatically trigger a generator to top up the batteries. This seamless integration ensures uninterrupted performance, keeping critical monitoring and response systems online at all times.
Centralised Analysis
The Sabre Outpost system scales effortlessly, allowing hundreds of units to be monitored from a central dashboard. Each Outpost reports its status in real time, creating a hot-spot map that provides a comprehensive view of conditions across an entire region. Operators can control individual units or manage groups of Outposts by area, ensuring a coordinated response.
A web-based interface displays all deployed Outposts on an interactive map, with each unit contributing data to build a combined situational awareness screen. This centralized view enables quick decision-making and efficient resource allocation in critical situations.
To keep teams informed, the system provides automated alerts through app notifications, emails, and SMS, ensuring that the right people receive timely updates no matter where they are.
Automation and AI
The Sabre Outpost leverages AI-driven automation to intelligently detect threats and respond in real time. Using advanced AI engines, it analyses camera feeds to identify smoke or fire, enhancing early bushfire detection with greater accuracy and minimal false alarms.
All sensors can be configured to trigger alerts or activate equipment automatically. For example, if temperatures rise too high, the Outpost can start sprinklers, or if thick smoke prevents solar charging and battery levels drop, it can activate a generator. The system can even detect threats to itself and send an SOS alert when necessary.
By continuously learning from operational data, the Outpost adapts to environmental changes, making it a powerful, autonomous early warning system for fire prevention and remote monitoring.
