AI Cameras Are Watching for Wildfires | Vancouver News

AI-powered cameras and sensors are revolutionizing wildfire detection, turning forests into high-tech surveillance zones. From Sidney Island’s 360-degree cameras to Mosaic Forest Management’s network near Nanaimo, these systems spot fires instantly and relay precise locations to emergency crews—cutting response times and saving communities with limited resources. Developed by SenseNet since 2019, the tech costs between $50K and $100K but offers a powerful upgrade over old fire lookouts. With B.C.’s Wildfire Service also building a province-wide camera network, this isn’t just innovation—it’s a critical defense against fast-spreading flames.
