How flood monitoring works

Get accurate, real-time flood data from the field to your screen - no manual checks or weather station guesswork.

See our non-contact radar sensors

1. Install the hardware

Mount a Captis S2 data logger with the Kallipr Radar Sensor, or the Spectra integrated radar unit, on bridges, culverts, floodplains, or drainage channels.

2. Data is transmitted

Water level readings are sent via CAT-M1 or NB-IoT, using internal or external antennas to maintain signal - even in remote or high-risk areas.

3. See alerts & trends

View live flood alerts, rising trends and historical patterns in Kallipr Kloud, or integrate with your SCADA or emergency systems.

Precision water level monitoring

Captis devices provide continuous flood and water level tracking, delivering precise data for early warning systems and risk mitigation.

Rapid, flexible installs

Install in under 20 minutes with minimal setup - ideal for bridges, drains, rivers, and flood-prone industrial sites.

Built to survive extreme conditions

IP68-rated enclosure withstands flooding, impact, and prolonged exposure to water and debris - perfect for long-term field use.

Reliable Connectivity in Remote & High-Risk Areas

Equipped with dual antennas (internal & external) and low-power wide-area network (Cat-M1, NB-IoT) connectivity, Captis devices ensure uninterrupted data transmission, even in extreme weather conditions.

Councils are getting a live view of flood conditions
Shoalhaven and Clarence Valley councils are using Kallipr sensors to measure level, flow and rainfall in high-risk flood zones to see what is happening on the ground in real time, as part of the NSW Government's Natural Hazard Detection System program.

Captis devices use high-precision sensors to track water height, flow rate, and rising trends, triggering immediate alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Kallipr devices use market-leading technology to connect via low-power wide-area network technologies (CAT-M1 or NB-IoT) networks globally. Transmission and measurement intervals are fully configurable, letting you balance data accuracy, frequency, and latency with battery life. All data is encrypted, with built-in security features that ensure end-to-end integrity - from device to cloud to the way you use it.
Yes, IP68-rated enclosures protect against full submersion, heavy rainfall, and debris impact, making them ideal for flood-prone environments or extreme conditions.
Installation can be as quick as 10 minutes, and does not require confined space entry for many sites. The ease of install minimises disruption to operations and significantly reduces the cost of deployment.
Where data also needs to be sent to additional systems, Kallipr hardware supports multiple endpoint configuration, which is widely used by utilities to route data or alarms directly to SCADA or analytics environments.
Yes, the patent-pending battery technology allows for quick, tool-free battery replacement. It can be done in under 30 seconds and ensures your operations are back up and running as quickly as possible.
