Historic sites
When we think about wildfires, we often imagine forests and grasslands. But in reality, many of the most vulnerable outdoor spaces are irreplaceable cultural landmarks — historic buildings, open-air museums, heritage estates, and ancient trees that carry centuries of significance.
As climate change drives longer droughts and more unpredictable fire patterns, these outdoor heritage sites face increasing risk. The question isn’t if a fire might come close — it’s when.
Sebelo offers a modern, non-intrusive way to protect cultural treasures with smart, solar-powered outdoor smoke fire detection.
The Threat Is Real — And Often Invisible
Open-air heritage sites may seem safe until it’s too late. A spark from a nearby field burn, a dry lightning strike, or even a discarded cigarette can threaten:
Wooden chapels or churches
Historic manors and estate houses
Protected trees
Cemetery monuments and sculptures
Open-air art installations
Ethnographic museum areas
These places often lack modern surveillance or alarm systems, making early detection critical.
How Sebelo Helps Protect Outdoor Cultural Assets
Sebelo’s system is built to be environmentally friendly, maintenance-free, and invisible to the visitor’s eye — perfect for heritage conservation zones where power cables, cameras, or noisy tech aren’t acceptable.
It works using discreet solar-powered sensors that detect:
Smoke in the air
Temperature changes
Humidity levels
Pressure shifts
This enables early outdoor fire detection before damage occurs — giving managers, caretakers, and local authorities the chance to respond in time.
Easy Setup with Long-Term Impact
1. Install a LoRaWAN Gateway
Each protected site needs just one gateway to link sensors to the Sebelo monitoring platform.
Connection options:
Ethernet / Wi-Fi (via nearby buildings)
LTE/4G (with SIM card — ideal for remote sites)
💡 One-time setup | Covers up to 10 km
2. Mount Solar-Powered Sensors
Sensors are small, weatherproof, and blend in with natural or architectural surroundings. No batteries or external power is needed.
Mount them on trees, buildings, fence posts, or signage poles — completely wire-free.
📏 Coverage recommendation: 1 sensor per hectare
3. Monitor via Sebelo Platform
Caretakers can monitor all sensors remotely via desktop or mobile, receiving alerts the moment something unusual is detected.
Included features:
SMS/email/app alerts in real time
Live map with sensor locations
Historical data to monitor long-term dryness or risk
Sensor health and uptime tracking
Ideal for:
Open-air museums
Protected churchyards and wooden chapels
Historical manors and park estates
Sacred groves and significant trees
Cultural heritage zones in rural areas
