AWARE Flood Node with IoT Module
The AWARE Flood Node collects, processes, and transmits sensor data using a self-contained power system with three solar panels. An IoT module is integrated on top, enabling real-time communication with the sensor dashboard. The module comes preconfigured with either a cellular LTE-M modem or an Iridium modem for remote data transmission. It is powered by its dedicated solar panel for continuous operation.
316 Stainless Steel Universal Mounting Plate
The AWARE Flood Node and IoT Module are securely mounted using a custom universal mounting plate, designed for flexible installation. It supports attachment to both horizontal and vertical poles using plastic zip ties or galvanized steel sign straps (included). It can also be installed on flat surfaces for added versatility.
Water Level Pressure (WLP) Module Three
The Water-Resistant Camera Module delivers real-time, full-color images of the monitoring site. With a 60-degree field of view (FOV), it captures detailed visual data to enhance situational awareness in flood-prone areas.
