Deep Seek Labs helps avoid the ravages of wildfire via ultra-fast, 24/7 monitoring and detection—all driven by a sophisticated AI network.
Minutes matter.
All big fires start as small fires—with the first few minutes being the most critical. The instant, early and accurate detection that Deep Seek Labs provides (especially at night when you can’t see smoke) can be the difference between a small flare-up that’s able to be safely, quickly and effectively controlled and a raging inferno.
Currently, most early signs of wildfire are reported by people calling 911 or from technology that detects smoke plumes from a distance. At this point, the fire is already well underway and a growing threat. From there, it can take precious time to actually find the wildfire, verify its location and size, and dispatch the proper response.
Imagine the peace of mind of having a 24/7 wildfire warning system in your own backyard. Picture a network of detection sensors connected across your neighborhood—and even your town. Now think of the precious time gained and the massive loss of land, home and life that could be prevented. It’s all possible with Deep Seek Labs.


Deep Seek Labs provides the earliest possible detection of wildfire dangers.
Always On
Deep Seek Labs is completely autonomous, self-contained and runs wirelessly. Simply place the detector, turn it on and it’s ready to protect 24/7. Our fire engineers will also evaluate fire behavior in your area to help determine the optimum placement.
Always Watching
Deep Seek Labs features state-of-the-art, AI-powered smart technology to provide industry-leading accuracy of over 99% and up to 360-degree detection to pinpoint even the smallest flames nearby, as well as at distance. Built from an industry-leading data set containing millions of images, Deep Seek Labs’ AI has been under constant development and refinement since 2021.
Always Early
Deep Seek Labs immediately alerts you to the exact location of the smallest wildfire threat the moment it’s detected. This critical information can then be passed on to first responders—providing the earliest detection, preparation and response time possible to help prevent potential devastation.
Always Connected
Deep Seek Labs provides continuous real-time data, visualization and alerts via SMS with its built-in cellular connection. Since all of our sensors are networked together, you’ll also be able to see the real-time data from other Deep Seek detectors in your area. Think of it as a “virtual fire line” of detection.
Receive early warnings and be a part of a growing wildfire detection network.
Deep Seek Labs is building this system from the bottom up to give you and your neighbors more control and awareness over a potential wildfire situation. Together, we can make a difference and need your help to grow the power and potential of the Deep Seek Labs network one backyard at a time.
We’re currently conducting testing and pilot programs in both California and Washington state.
If you’d like to be on the forefront of this groundbreaking new wildfire detection technology or want to learn more, we’d love to connect with you.
