The system combines AI cameras with Wi-Fi HaLow in the 850MHz band to detect bears remotely, then pushes alerts to televisions in residents' homes. The goal is to cut detection-to-notification time to about five minutes.","whyItMatters":"The project pairs AI camera detection with TV-based push alerts to solve two failures at once: slow resident reporting of bear sightings and poor indoor audibility of disaster radio, aiming for a five-minute warning window.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBear encounters in Nanto City spiked to 176 sighting and trace reports in 2025, with two injuries. Current responses rely on residents phoning in sightings, and public address vehicles take about 30 minutes to reach the site and warn people.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe demonstration installs multiple PTZ cameras linked with thermal cameras and AI boxes for 24-hour automatic detection. Wi-Fi HaLow transmits video over roughly 1.5 km without communication costs, even where LTE signals are unstable. After city staff confirm a sighting remotely, the system pushes a warning to televisions in the target area. The plan targets a five-minute gap between detection and notification.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe project runs in Nanto City\u0026#39;s Yamamoto, Koyama, and Shikanji districts, with full-scale local government adoption eyed from fiscal 2028.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Nanto City will test bear alerts that pair AI cameras with Wi-Fi HaLow and push warnings straight to home TVs.
