A River Sentry is a localized flood detection system designed to provide a real time water warning for rising water levels. Resembling a fencepost, the River Sentry serves as an unobtrusive element of the waterside landscape, making it easy for many to overlook. For more information, refer to the River Sentry FAQ.
Reflecting the logic of building a flood detection system, the River Sentry is designed for simplicity. It effectively detects rising water levels. When this occurs, redundant triggers within the wet logic module activate a real time water warning system featuring siren/voice commands and high-power lights. For more information, you can check the River Sentry FAQ.
River Sentry systems are ideally positioned to address two competing priorities effectively. First, terrain- and slope-dependent, a River Sentry will be strategically placed between waterside sleeping facilities, such as camping spots, cabins, and RV sites, and the flood-threatened waterway. This perfect position is defined as being adequately upslope from the water, while also ensuring that it can generate a minimum of 75 decibels inside the structure it's protecting. This setup serves as an essential flood detection system, providing real time water warnings to enhance safety for all occupants.
The River Sentry, a reliable flood detection system, utilizes a voice/siren combination to alert residents. The high-decibel siren is designed to disturb, while the voice commands provide critical instructions to those who may be disoriented. The automated voice commands of "FLOOD DANGER, FLOOD DANGER, RUN TO HIGHER GROUND" deliver simple and clear messages to prompt immediate action in the event of an emergency. This system also provides a real time water warning, ensuring that alerts run in a cycle for 6 minutes to make sure everyone is awake and informed.
The River Sentry features a flood detection system that utilizes a combination of red and white lights. The red light is positioned on the water-facing side to illuminate the water behind the tower, while the white flood lights are always directed uphill, indicating the direction of safe egress. Once activated, these lights will remain on until the battery is depleted (approximately 4 hours) or the threat has passed, providing a real-time water warning to ensure safety.
The River Sentry is an advanced flood detection system powered by an extreme temperature battery pack. This battery is maintained by a low voltage trickle charger system. Thunderstorms frequently disturb power grids, but even when the power grid goes down, the River Sentry remains fully functional. It will stay alert for over 30 days without any power source, providing real-time water warning capabilities. For more information, you can check the River Sentry FAQ.
River Sentry towers are designed to be an affordable flood detection system, ensuring that function and resiliency are never compromised. The average cost is only a fraction of that of a similarly equipped fire alarm system.
