Comparison
Keep your crew in command from the first alarm.
If your site already has a crew, on-call path, and suppression plan, AVIAN puts early thermal detection into that workflow. Your team gets the evidence directly, and your controls team can connect alarms to the equipment already on site.

Thermal monitoring for fire risks that move.
Move coverage as material, work, access routes, and risk areas change. The same AVIAN alerts and response workflows stay with the system wherever it is placed.
Landfills and outdoor storage
Move coverage with the working face, tipping area, temporary piles, or equipment zones.
Construction sites
Monitor temporary material storage, charging areas, commissioning work, and changing site risks.
Hot work and fire watch
Position thermal monitoring around welding, cutting, grinding, roofing, or other temporary hot work.
Temporary operations
Add coverage for staged materials, shutdown work, incident recovery, or an unexpected monitoring gap.
AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS
Need a portable solution?
Choose a trailer- or tripod-mounted thermal camera based on the coverage area and how the equipment needs to move.

Unstaffed hours
Monitoring continues when nobody's on site.
Alarms escalate to on-call staff on their phones. For after-hours coverage, AVIAN's managed alarm review triages incoming events and escalates them through rules defined with your team, so an overnight alarm gets assessed and routed even when nobody is on the floor.
On-call phone escalation
Send urgent alarms to the people responsible after hours.
Managed alarm review
AVIAN triages incoming events when nobody is watching the floor.
Team-defined routing rules
Escalate through the response path agreed with your team.
What the site needs to know
Can we cover the right zones and get the alarm to the right person?
That is usually what matters on the floor: where the camera goes, who gets notified, what they see, and whether the alarm can tie into the response path the site already trusts.
Alarms reach the people on site
Operators can receive AVIAN alarms on the devices they already use, including iPhone, iPad, browser access, and control-room workflows.
Less installation complexity
AVIAN handles the coverage plan, camera setup, detection logic, alert routing, and response workflow instead of leaving your team with a custom sensor project.
Start with priority zones
Plan coverage around the belts, bunkers, piles, and charging areas that create the greatest risk, then expand as needed.
Scope the project around your risk
Start with camera coverage for the most exposed areas. Your site plan will show the proposed hardware, monitoring scope, and pricing.
Trusted in the world's most fire-prone industries.
The same AVIAN platform used for recycling fire prevention is trusted across high-risk mills and industrial sites for continuous monitoring, alerting, and response workflows.

“Your support before, during, and after implementation was exceptional.”
The camera is working great on our planer. It gives our team the real-time visibility we need to catch hot spots before they become safety hazards or significant downtime issues. We really appreciate your guidance and support in protecting our mill. Your support before, during, and after implementation was exceptional. We look forward to working with you on future projects.

“An outstanding decision for our mill”
Within just a few weeks their system identified several equipment issues before they turned into failures. That alone saved us significant downtime and paid for the system outright.

End-to-end stack
Hardware, firmware, software, and support from one team.
AVIAN owns the full system. That matters when operators need a clear alarm, not a pile of integrations to troubleshoot during an event.
Hardware we control
AVIAN designs the camera system around industrial monitoring, not a generic camera feed that still needs a separate software project.
Firmware built for alarms
The firmware is built from the ground up to detect, package, and send useful alarm context quickly to people in the field.
Software and support together
Coverage planning, alert routing, event history, dashboards, tuning, and support are handled end to end by one team.
Fast path to monitoring
Start with the areas most likely to burn.
AVIAN lets recycling teams start with their highest-risk zones, then add camera coverage and integrations as the site plan develops.
1
Map the risk zones
We review conveyors, tipping floors, bunkers, piles, storage, and electrical areas to recommend camera placement.
2
Install focused camera coverage
Each camera is placed around a clear coverage target, with alert logic configured for the equipment, material flow, and response path.
3
Route alarms to the devices your team uses
Operators receive alarms on phones, tablets, and browser dashboards, with optional integration into PLC, deluge, or shutdown workflows.
Operator FAQ
Questions operators ask us.
How is AVIAN different from Fire Rover?
Both companies offer early fire detection. Fire Rover also offers live-verified remote suppression in some configurations. AVIAN focuses on thermal monitoring, direct alerts to your team, optional managed alarm review, and PLC-ready data for your existing controls. The right fit depends on whether you need a new suppression system or detection around your current response plan.
What happens when an alarm hits at 2am and nobody's on site?
The alarm doesn't wait for the morning shift. It escalates through your on-call list by phone call, SMS, WhatsApp, and email until someone acknowledges it. Sites that want around-the-clock coverage can add AVIAN's managed alarm review, where we triage after-hours events and escalate them through rules defined with your team.
How does pricing work?
Per camera. You start with the areas most likely to burn, like conveyors, storage piles, and equipment charging areas, and add cameras as you expand coverage. Tell us about your facility and you'll have a coverage plan with pricing within one business day.
Does AVIAN replace our sprinklers or suppression?
No. Everything you have stays in place. AVIAN adds the early detection layer in front of it and can trigger deluge or shutdown through your PLC where the site design calls for it.
Will dust and steam set it off constantly?
Dust and steam are a fact of life on these floors, and a system that cries wolf gets ignored. AVIAN engineers tune each zone and enable smart alarm filtering, and every alarm arrives with the live thermal and RGB view so whoever acknowledges it can see exactly what triggered it.
How disruptive is the install?
Fixed T100 cameras use a PoE connection; portable Flight units use LTE. We plan mounting, connectivity, and alert routing around your site. Timing depends on the coverage area and any controls integration.
Can it stop a belt or trigger deluge automatically?
Yes. AVIAN exposes alarm and temperature data to your PLC, so your controls team can wire alarms into shutdown, deluge, or escalation logic. Your team stays in charge of the final control design.
