SensoryAI · early thermal detection

Catch a wildfire before it becomes one.

Newport AI deploys thermal-infrared cameras that watch the landscape around the clock. Our cloud analyzes every frame, filters out the noise, and pages responders the moment a credible threat appears — in seconds, not minutes.

How it works

From thermal frame to responder, automatically.

Cameras capture the scene. The cloud decides what matters. Responders only hear from us when there is genuine reason to act.

Step 01 — Field

Capture

Thermal-infrared cameras on towers, structures, or terrain continuously capture 640×512 grayscale frames and flag candidate heat signatures on-device.

Step 02 — Cloud

Analyze

Flagged frames enter two independent pipelines. Layers of computer vision and multimodal AI strip out false positives before anything reaches a person.

Step 03 — Responder

Notify

If a credible threat survives every filter, designated responders are paged immediately by SMS, email, and the SensoryAI dashboard with map links.

Pipeline 01 · Hotspot detection

Six gates before anyone is paged

Every candidate heat signature must pass — in order — through six independent filters. Only signatures that survive all of them trigger an alert.

1Temperature thresholdConfigurable by device sensitivity.
2Movement filterMoving sources (vehicles, glint) dropped.
3Exclusion zonesCustom polygons over roads & lots.
4Proximity dedupSuppresses repeats within the hour.
5Vehicle detectionTwo thermal CV models exclude vehicles.
6AI verificationMultimodal model confirms the threat.
Pipeline 02 · Smoke detection

A parallel set of eyes

On high-sensitivity devices, a second pipeline watches the visual scene for smoke plumes — independent of thermal intensity.

  • Polls configured camera angles for new frames
  • Passes each frame to the Smoke Detection Model
  • Sends an email alert with detection reasoning

A smoke plume with no thermal signature still won’t be missed — the two pipelines run independently.

The platform

Intelligent filtering, not just thermal spikes.

Existing alerting systems send too many low-quality alerts. SensoryAI is built to page you only when it counts.

Multi-stage filtering

Movement analysis, exclusion zones, vehicle detection, and AI verification — every candidate is vetted before anyone is paged.

Per-site sensitivity

Noisy industrial corridors and remote wilderness have very different profiles. Tune each device independently — Low, Medium, or High.

Dual parallel pipelines

Hotspot and smoke detection run independently. One missing a signal doesn’t mean the other does.

Full audit trail

Every processed image logs which stages passed or failed — total visibility into exactly why an alert was, or wasn’t, sent.

Low alert fatigue

The average deployment generates only the alerts that warrant a response. Operators learn to trust the system because false positives are rare.

Fleet health monitoring

SensoryAI watches its own devices — offline, camera silent, or low battery — and notifies operations automatically.

Sensitivity tiers

One platform, tuned to the site.

Each device has a configurable sensitivity level that controls how aggressively the hotspot pipeline filters — and whether smoke monitoring is active.

Low

Only very prominent heat signatures trigger alerts. All filters active, AI verification required.

  • All six filters active
  • AI verification required
Best for — high-traffic or noisy environments where alert volume must stay low.
Recommended Medium

Balanced alerting with standard thresholds. All filters active. The default for most deployments.

  • Standard thresholds
  • All filters active
Best for — most deployments. The recommended starting point.
High

Most sensitive. Smaller hotspots proceed and proximity dedup is bypassed. AI verification is advisory, never blocking. Smoke monitoring enabled.

  • Smoke monitoring enabled
  • Nothing blocks an alert
Best for — critical areas where missing an early threat is the primary concern.
Alerts & SMS opt-in

Reach the right people in seconds.

When a credible thermal anomaly is confirmed, designated responders are notified instantly. SMS alerts are short, factual, and link to the dashboard for review.

Privacy & data handling

Your data stays yours.

We collect only what we need to detect threats and notify the right people — and we protect it accordingly.

What we collect

Thermal images and device telemetry from your monitored sites, plus the contact details (name, mobile number, email) of the responders you choose to enroll.

How we use it

Contact details are used solely to deliver detection alerts and related service messages. Thermal data is used to operate, audit, and improve detection accuracy.

How we protect it

SensoryAI runs entirely on AWS with encrypted storage and transport. Access is restricted to authorized operators, and every processed image is logged for a complete audit trail.

Your choices

We never sell or share your mobile information.

Mobile opt-in data and phone numbers are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Numbers are used only to deliver the SensoryAI alerts you signed up for.

About Newport AI

Early detection, engineered for trust.

Newport AI builds SensoryAI to solve a hard problem: wildfires and industrial heat anomalies are caught too late because people can’t watch every feed, and raw thermal data is overwhelmingly noisy.

Our multi-stage AI pipeline changes that — turning continuous thermal monitoring into a small number of alerts you can actually trust.
