A network of over 1,000 cameras equipped with artificial intelligence is being used to monitor the California landscape for wildfires. The initiative is a partnership between UC San Diego’s ALERTCalifornia public safety program and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CAL FIRE. The system operates by having the camera network monitor the wildland 24/7. It utilizes near-infrared night vision and makes 360-degree sweeps about every two minutes.
