StormTracker
Lightning Detection
System |
|
Boltek's StormTracker uses state-of-the-art technology to make real-time
lightning detection affordable. How does the StormTracker work? The
StormTracker is an add-on to your IBM PC or compatible computer allowing you
to not only tell if lightning is near but see where it is. StormTracker
detects lightning strikes up to 300 miles away and plots them in real time
on a map of your area.
With StormTracker you
are actually detecting the lightning strikes themselves. There are no
on-line or recurring charges of any kind. StormTracker has two built-in
alarms. The Close Storm Alarm will activate if a thunderstorm
is detected closer than a preset distance. The Severe Storm Alarm
activates if the number of lightning strikes per minute exceeds a preset
limit.

StormTracker keeps received data on your computers hard disk. This allows you to
replay the previous few hours events in accelerated time. This feature allows
continuous looping through the data from a user selectable start point up to
present. Watching historical data in accelerated time gives great insight into
the trend of the current storm. Now there is no more guessing if the storm is
heading your way as with audible warning type systems. You can instantly see
where the storm is and in which direction it is heading.

StormTracker works by
detecting the radio signals produced by lightning. These are the same
signals you can hear on an AM radio during a thunderstorm. StormTracker's
direction-finding antenna provides direction information while storm
distance is calculated from received signal strength. Special processing in
software reduces the effects of strike-to-strike energy variations providing
more accurate distance information. |
StormTracker's antenna
is a small black box (3"x2"x1-1/2") which may be mounted indoors (in a wood
framed house for example) or outdoors. The antenna is typically mounted ten
to twenty feet above the ground, away from large metal objects and sources
of electrical noise such as televisions and computer monitors.
