Rockwave VS1 is a compact, vertical motion seismometer & GPS synchronised timing module. we also have a Slinky Seismometers Designed by association with the British Geological Survey, the seismometer provides an elegant, low-cost solution to earthquake detection connected to a USB SEP Seismometer electronics..
Software
We use weather display and WXSIM professional for our five day forecast. Digital Atmosphere is a powerful weather forecasting programme that allows us to create detailed maps of real-time weather for anywhere in the world.In-house infra red cloud temperature sensor using python code
we use AmaSeis software for the seismic instruments. Synchronised GPS software NMEAtime time utility.
Our web cam uses All Sky Cam Uploader software for windows from Moonglow technologies.
