AVIAN catches abnormal heat early and gets your crew moving before it becomes a facility fire. Choose fixed or portable cameras based on how your site needs to be protected.
How AVIAN protects your site
Fixed and portable cameras use the same alerting platform, so your team can protect permanent equipment and changing risk areas without separate systems.
Use fixed or portable thermal cameras to watch equipment, material piles, and changing fire-risk areas.
Send thermal and visible context directly to your crew on iPhone, iPad, phone call, SMS, WhatsApp, or email.
Make alarm data available to your PLC for shutdown, deluge, or site-specific control logic.
Portable fire detection
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.
Move coverage with the working face, tipping area, temporary piles, or equipment zones.
Monitor temporary material storage, charging areas, commissioning work, and changing site risks.
Position thermal monitoring around welding, cutting, grinding, roofing, or other temporary hot work.
Add coverage for staged materials, shutdown work, incident recovery, or an unexpected monitoring gap.
AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS
Choose a trailer- or tripod-mounted thermal camera based on the coverage area and how the equipment needs to move.
View our fixed camera solution
A towable thermal monitoring platform for larger outdoor areas and sites where coverage changes over time.
Best fit
Landfill working faces, outdoor storage areas, and changing construction zones.
A compact thermal monitoring setup for localized risks, temporary work, and areas reached on foot.
Best fit
Hot work, temporary material storage, maintenance areas, and smaller construction zones.
If you do not need remote firefighters operating suppression, AVIAN gives your team alarm evidence, phone and tablet alerts, and PLC-ready response paths they can own.
Get a QuoteUse AVIAN when your crew needs an early alarm, clear evidence, and a response path they control.
AVIAN sends the alarm package to operators, supervisors, and control workflows so the people closest to the risk can move.
Cover belts, bunkers, piles, tipping floors, electrical rooms, and charging areas first. Expand after the highest-risk areas are monitored.
Unstaffed hours
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.
Send urgent alarms to the people responsible after hours.
AVIAN triages incoming events when nobody is watching the floor.
Escalate through the response path agreed with your team.
What the site needs to know
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.
Operators can receive AVIAN alarms on the devices they already use, including iPhone, iPad, browser access, and control-room workflows.
AVIAN handles the coverage plan, camera setup, detection logic, alert routing, and response workflow instead of leaving your team with a custom sensor project.
From the first call to installed coverage, AVIAN is built to get high-risk belts, bunkers, piles, and charging areas protected in 30 days.
A simpler deployment means fewer duplicated devices, fewer tuning handoffs, and less budget tied up before the first alarm reaches an operator.
Real recycling alarms
These examples come from the AVIAN alarm cases library. They show battery and conveyor events where early thermal detection gave operators a chance to stop escalation before a larger facility fire.

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.
“I can be anywhere in the mill, or even sitting at home”
I can be anywhere in the mill, or even sitting at home and get an alert from AVIAN and I know it’s time to act immediately.
“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.
“AVIAN gives us a new kind of security”
We can send our employees home at the end of their shift with peace of mind, because we know that the critical areas in our company are reliably monitored.
“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
AVIAN owns the full system. That matters when operators need a clear alarm, not a pile of integrations to troubleshoot during an event.
AVIAN designs the camera system around industrial monitoring, not a generic camera feed that still needs a separate software project.
The firmware is built from the ground up to detect, package, and send useful alarm context quickly to people in the field.
Coverage planning, alert routing, event history, dashboards, tuning, and support are handled end to end by one team.
Fast path to monitoring
Instead of waiting for a large, multi-sensor fire project to clear the queue, AVIAN lets recycling teams cover the highest risk zones first and expand from there.
We review conveyors, tipping floors, bunkers, piles, storage, and electrical areas to recommend camera placement.
Each camera is placed around a clear coverage target, with alert logic configured for the equipment, material flow, and response path.
Operators receive alarms on phones, tablets, and browser dashboards, with optional integration into PLC, deluge, or shutdown workflows.

Operator FAQ
Fire Rover pairs detection with remote-operated suppression: their monitoring center verifies an alarm and their operators activate the suppression units. AVIAN is detection and response built around your own team: thermal cameras catch the hot spot, your crew gets the alert in seconds, and the alarm can trigger your deluge or shutdown through your PLC. If you want a third party operating suppression hardware at your site, that's their model. If you want your people in command with a simple install and pricing that scales, that's ours.
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.

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.
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.

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.
