Flare Monitoring

VisionAery’s AI‑driven Flare Monitoring keeps your stacks compliant, efficient, and self‑correcting. Running 24/7 at the edge, it logs EPA Method 22 opacity, tracks flame and pilot health, and—when combustion drifts—automatically adjusts air or steam injection to restore an ideal burn. Cleaner emissions, fewer fines, and a flare that fixes itself before you even know there’s a problem.

Compatible Platforms

Jetson Orin

Great for large scale deployments that utilize existing cameras. The NVIDIA platform gives you flexible options while providing enough power to run full scale models with a high inference rate.

Scalability

Orin Nano - 1-2 streams
Orin NX - 4-6 streams
Orin AGX - 8-12 streams
Chips are stackable within servers for increased streams per server.

Pros

Camera Agnostic
Ruggedized
Multiple Streams per Server
Easier for Custom Deployment Needs

Cons

Complex Set Up
Adds to Hardware Cost
Additional Hardware Maintenance
Temp Ranges do not meet all conditions
Power Requirements

ARTPEC - 8 & 9

Perfect for keeping hardware cost at a minimum and integrating a known technology into your VMS.

Scalability

1 Application per Camera
Easy Management Through ACAP

Pros

App Runs on the Camera
Easy Integration into VMS
Data is Secured Through Camera Hardening
Easy to Set Up and Deploy

Cons

Limited Compute Power
Limited Form Factors with ARTPEC 8 or 9
Less Customizability
Not Ideal for Brown Field Deployments

Data and Alarms

Send Telemetry Data via MQTT or Modbus TCP.
Send Alarm Topics via MQTT or Modbus TCP.
Easily Integrate Data into Existing Systems such as SCADA or Video Management Software.

Sensors

Use Sensors such as rain sensors to mitigate false positives from environmental conditions.
Integrate other sensor data to get more rich and characteristic data from system.
Create Conditional Alarms that need sensor input before triggering.

Camera and VMS

Unless deploying on camera, all you need is an RTSP stream from any camera of your choice.
The system generates an RTSP stream for easy viewing of the system into your VMS.
Use Pre Built VMS Integrations for most major VMS providers.

System Architecture

All VisionAery Solutions are Uncompromisingly edge based so that they remain easy to integrate into your existing network and infrastructure as well as maintaining scalability and reduced operational cost to maintain the system.

Supporting Software

VisionAery Downloads all of the below software to help make your deployment and management of the system easier. This is at no additional cost to you.
