Safety & Detection

OGLAS safety sensors — smoke and gas detection, noise sensing, and trap activation. Detect the events that matter and raise the alert the moment they happen.

1: Smoke & Gas
2: Noise
3: Trap Trigger

Some sensors exist for the moment something goes wrong — or the moment something happens that you’ve been waiting for. These detect the event and raise the alert straight away.

Smoke & Gas — smoke and combustible or toxic gas, for sheds, pump houses, and battery rooms.
Noise — sound-level sensing: machinery running, an alarm sounding, activity where there should be none.
Trap Trigger — know the moment a trap fires, so you stop checking empty ones.

1 - Smoke & Gas

Smoke and combustible or toxic gas detection for sheds, pump houses, and battery rooms — the alert that has to get out, even off-grid.

A smoke alarm nobody can hear from the house is no alarm at all. The OGLAS Smoke & Gas sensor puts detection in the buildings that matter on a remote site — and gets the alert to you wherever you are.

What it does

Detects smoke — early-warning detection in sheds, workshops, and stores well away from the house.
Detects combustible gas — LPG, methane, and the like, around gas stores and pump houses.
Detects toxic gas — carbon monoxide in a generator shed or workshop.
Alerts immediately — straight to the bell, every bell on site, and (with Cloud) a push to your phone. This is the message that doesn’t wait.

Honest scope

This is monitoring and early warning for remote, unattended buildings, not a replacement for the certified smoke alarms your dwelling is required to have. It covers the sheds and outbuildings those alarms never reach.

Hardware

Photoelectric smoke detection plus electrochemical/catalytic gas sensing on an OGLAS node, mains-powered with battery backup so it survives the power going out — which is often exactly when it’s needed.

Pairs well with

Bell — the loud end of the alert.
Air Quality — the non-emergency, trend-monitoring cousin.
Smart Switch — cut power to a circuit or start an extractor on detection.

2 - Noise

Sound-level sensing — machinery running, an alarm sounding, or activity where there should be silence. A microphone that reports a level, not a recording.

Sound is a surprisingly good sensor. The OGLAS Noise sensor reports a sound level — not a recording — so you can tell, from anywhere, whether something is running, alarming, or happening when it shouldn’t be.

What it does

Measures sound level — ambient dB over time, with thresholds you set.
Detects “running” — a pump, compressor, or generator is audibly on; pair that with Power Monitoring to confirm it’s working.
Detects “alarming” — another alarm sounding (a separate smoke alarm, a reversing beeper, a siren) becomes an OGLAS alert.
Detects “activity” — noise in a yard or shed that should be quiet overnight.

It reports a level and threshold crossings only — no audio leaves the device, which keeps it private and keeps the data tiny — see Your data is your data.

Hardware

A calibrated microphone and level circuit on an OGLAS node. Mains or battery; sited near the thing you want to listen to.

Pairs well with

Engine and Power Monitoring — “is it actually running?” from two angles.
Bell — turn a sound you can’t hear from the house into one you can.
Video — sound plus motion is a stronger “something’s happening” signal than either alone.

3 - Trap Trigger

Know the moment a trap fires — so you stop driving out to check empty ones and reach a sprung trap quickly, the humane way.

Checking traps is the same problem as checking troughs: a long drive, mostly to find nothing. The OGLAS Trap Trigger sensor tells you the instant a trap fires, so you only make the trip when there’s a reason to — and you make it quickly.

What it does

Detects activation — a switch or sensor on the trap mechanism fires the moment it’s triggered.
Alerts immediately — straight to your hub, the bell, the cab display, or your phone via Cloud.
Time-stamps and locates — when it fired, and (with GPS) which trap, so you go straight to it.
Runs for months — it sleeps and waits for a single event, so battery life is measured in seasons.

Why it matters

For pest and feral control, a sprung trap left for days is both ineffective and inhumane. Knowing within minutes means you can dispatch or release quickly, and reset the trap so it’s working again sooner.

Hardware

A simple trigger input (reed, microswitch, or tilt) on an ultra-low-power OGLAS node with optional GPS, in a sealed enclosure on or beside the trap. Battery + small solar.

Pairs well with

Vehicle Track — the trip alert lands on the cab display while you’re already out.
Bell — an audible notice at the homestead.
Video — confirm what’s in the trap, and what species are about, before you drive out.
