Watchtower launches Watchtower Celsius

Detect risks before an incident occurs

Fires rarely start without warning. In many cases, an incident is preceded by rising temperatures, localised hotspots or abnormal heat build-up. With the launch of Watchtower Celsius, Watchtower Security Solutions helps organisations identify these risks sooner and take faster action.

Watchtower Celsius is an intelligent thermal detection solution that automatically identifies temperature differences, rapid temperature increases and open flames. By continuously monitoring temperature developments, the system detects anomalies before smoke or flames become visible. This provides valuable time to intervene and help prevent damage.

“The first warning sign of a developing fire is not smoke, but a change in temperature. With Watchtower Celsius, we make these signals visible sooner, enabling organisations to act faster and keep risks under control,” explains Wouter Ommeslag, Director of Watchtower Security Solutions.

Early detection makes the difference

For organisations that handle large volumes of materials, waste streams, raw materials or vehicles, fire safety is an essential part of day-to-day operations. Particularly in sectors such as recycling, waste processing, logistics and electric vehicle storage, temperature anomalies can remain unnoticed for extended periods.

Watchtower Celsius helps identify these risks at an early stage through:

• Thermal monitoring of temperature developments

• Detection of hotspots and abnormal heat patterns

• Alarm notifications when temperature thresholds are exceeded

• Detection of rapid temperature increases

• Automatic flame detection

• Real-time alerts for rapid follow-up

One system, complete visibility

Watchtower Celsius features a 360° pan-tilt unit that automatically monitors multiple predefined zones. Individual alarm criteria can be configured for each zone, based on the specific risks at the location.

With a detection range of up to 50 metres, integrated 4G/LTE connectivity and emergency power backup, Watchtower Celsius provides reliable monitoring, day and night.

Designed for high-risk environments

Watchtower Celsius is particularly suitable for locations where heat build-up presents an increased safety risk, including:

• Recycling facilities

• Waste processing facilities

• Electric vehicle storage sites

• Wood-processing facilities

• Industrial storage sites

• Logistics and transshipment sites

More than security

With Watchtower Celsius, Watchtower Security Solutions is expanding its range of services. While video surveillance has traditionally focused on observation and security, Watchtower Celsius adds another layer of safety by providing early visibility of potential fire risks.

In this way, Watchtower helps organisations not only secure their sites, but also protect people, equipment and business continuity.
