Wildlife Prevention & Detection
Early Detection & Real-time Alerts
Wildfires can spread rapidly, but with 365mesh’s advanced fire detection solution, you can identify risks before flames ignite. Our sensors monitor:
- Temperature fluctuations and abnormal heat signatures; Smoke and gas emissions (like carbon monoxide and methane)
- Satellite and remote sensing imagery
- Visual and Audio Sensors placed strategically through the environment
Alerts are instantly sent to rangers, forest managers, and emergency teams for faster response times, meaning more effective containment and less damage.
Environment Monitoring & Predictive insights
365mesh continuously tracks key environmental conditions, including:
- Wind speed & direction: Helps predict fire spread patterns
- Humidity & Soil Moisture: Identifies drought prone areas
- AI Powered Predictive Models: Identifies high-risk zones before ignition.
With integrated ground-based sensors and satellite imagery, 365mesh delivers a comprehensive, data-driven approach to wildfire prevention.
Human Activity Tracking & Risk Prevention
Human activities are a major cause of wildfires. 365mesh helps mitigate ignition risks with:
- Detecting illegal campfires in high-risk areas
- Monitoring discarded cigarettes and unauthorised activities
- Identifying power line risks and infrastructure-related fire hazards

Detect Fires Faster with 365mesh
Audio, Video, LIDAR, Satellite, Telemetry Sensors and Remote Sensing Solutions for Early Detection
Wildfires can escalate rapidly, turning a small ignition into an uncontrollable disaster in just hours. Traditional detection methods often identify fires too late – when the damage has already begun. The 365mesh Fire Detection sensor detects fires at the earliest stages, providing real-time alerts to enable faster emergency response. By reducing detection time, 365mesh helps prevent widespread devastation, protecting forests, wildlife, and communities.
365mesh Fire Detection Sensor
The Early Detection Sensor
Designed to detect wildfires in their earliest stages, and to provide real-time alerts before flames even appear.
Developed and manufactured in Australia and New Zealand, our sensor integrates seamlessly with the 365mesh network, offering a reliable, low-power solution for wildfire prevention in forests, national parks, and rural areas.
Ultrafast Wildfire Detection
Most fire detection systems rely on smoke or heat, but by the time they trigger, it’s often too late. The 365mesh Wildfire Sensor identifies wildfires at their smouldering phase, detecting hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and other gases before visible flames appear.
With its AI-powered detection, the sensor provides alerts within minutes, enabling faster response times and reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires.
Built for remote deployment
The 365mesh Wildfire Sensor ensures continuous operation in off-grid locations, transmitting critical data in real-time over long distances, making it ideal for vast forested areas, national parks, and farmland.
Engineered for harsh environments, the sensor is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions while providing reliable and 24/7 monitoring.
Environmental Monitoring & Smart Alerts

Aerial sensing
365mesh leverages advanced satellite and drone-based remote sensing technologies to monitor and analyse vast forest and park landscapes without the need for direct on-site presence.
This scalable approach provides real-time and historical insights using AI-powered data processing, enabling faster and more efficient environmental assessments.
By integrating satellite imagery and drone surveillance, 365mesh enables large-scale ecosystem monitoring, detecting changes in forest health, biodiversity, and land use. Since it incorporates machine learning intelligence, the system will generate even deeper insights into environmental conditions.
Fuel Load & vegetation data
Our solution integrates public and licensed GIS layers to assess terrain composition, vegetation density, and fuel load levels. This data allows authorities to pinpoint high-risk areas, predict fire behaviour, and implement proactive mitigation strategies, such as controlled burns or vegetation management, reducing the likelihood of uncontrolled wildfires.
Fire Incident History
Historical fire data is essential for improving fire prediction models and response planning. When available from fire authorities, past fire records are used to train AI algorithms, helping to identify trends, fireprone
regions, and seasonal risk factors.
Social Media feeds
In emergency situations, social media provides real-time situational awareness. 365mesh integrates API’s from platforms like X to capture live updates from communities, first responders, and official agencies.
The life-saving power of early wildfire detection
Wildfires can spread in minutes, turning forests and communities into disaster zones. Early detection is crucial — the sooner a fire is identified, the faster emergency teams can respond, preventing devastation.
Recent disasters like the 2020 Australian bushfires, the 2023 Maui wildfires and the 2025 Southern California wildfires highlight the urgency of proactive monitoring. These fires destroyed millions of acres, displaced thousands, and caused irreversible environmental damage. Many started unnoticed in remote areas, spreading rapidly before firefighters could react.
By using AI-driven IoT sensors, thermal cameras, and satellite monitoring, our solution detects
smoke, heat, and environmental changes before flames take hold.
