Our firework detection system has been a hot item in the media during and after the past holiday season. With a meter accuracy, our tactically placed meters detected many locations of fireworks nuisance. Local enforcers received real time details on locations of fireworks popping on their smartphone.
NOS, RTL, BNR, National Dutch newspapers like Telegraaf and AD as well as regional broadcasters published about the Munisense system and the app.
The municipalities were very pleased with the operation of the system, the effectiveness and goals, such as detecting hot spots. The police and city guards could add these hot spots in an extra surveillance and detection of delinquents setting off fireworks.
Thus the nuisance, of fireworks popping is reduced and issues a preventive signal
