Wildfire Early Warning Camera

If your first warning is smoke on the horizon, you're already out of time.

Colorado's in the middle of one of its most destructive wildfire seasons ever. A Barn Owl camera at the edge of your land shows you trouble the moment it starts, so you can act while there's still time.

So far this July, Colorado's on fire.

The Aspen Acres fire has burned more than 96,000 acres in Pueblo and Custer counties since June 29, making it one of the largest wildfires in Colorado history. At least 263 homes and structures have been destroyed, and roughly 12,000 residents are under evacuation orders. After a record low snowpack, the state's drier than it's been in years, and the most dangerous weeks are still ahead.

The Threat You Can't Ignore

Most livestock and equipment lost to wildfire is lost before anyone even calls 911.

You're not always on your land, and a fire doesn't announce itself. It can start with a lightning strike, a downed power line, or a neighbor's field catching.

By the time smoke is visible from your house, the fire may have already cut off the road to your barn and trapped your animals.

Most people who lose animals and equipment to wildfire don't lose them because they didn't care. They lose them because they didn't know.

The Barn Owl Difference

See the fire start, not the aftermath.

One wildfire detection camera on a fence post at the edge of your property can be the difference between a close call and a catastrophe.

A Real Customer Story

A Barn Owl Camera Saved His Barn on Christmas Eve

Wayne G. wasn't looking for a fire when he checked a motion alert he almost ignored.

This is what Wayne saw on his camera feed when he checked an alert he almost dismissed as a deer.

Wayne G. and his wife were home on Christmas Eve when his Barn Owl camera sent an alert around 8pm. He assumed it was deer, since they set it off almost nightly, but he pulled up the live feed anyway and noticed a bright light beyond the tractor shed. It was his tool shed on fire.

He called 911, and the fire department was on scene within minutes. They protected the adjoining tractor shed, the tractors were moved to safety, and the fire was put out quickly, keeping the loss to a minimum.

"If my Barn Owl camera had not been triggered by the movement of the flames, I dread to think of what the loss could have been."
