The QuakeGuard is the current earthquake warning device. It detects the start of an earthquake using two or more
sensors to measure ground vibrations. The data from these sensors are used by the QuakeGuard to detect and
analyze P-waves and to trigger an alert in the event of an impending large earthquake.
QuakeGuards can also be installed at critical customer facilities where standalone operation provides addaed protection in the aftermath of a disaster when communications infrastructure may be unavailable. Each QuakeGuard produces audio alerts as well as controls equipment to initiate protective measures. It is capable of controlling automated devices using contact closures or automation protocols over serial or Ethernet interconnections. A battery provides power to ensure the QuakeGuard is ready to detect aftershocks even it the power has been lost in the earthquake.
Each QuakeGuard communicates with Seismic’s servers which remotely monitor operation of the devices and receive earthquake information for distribution to other sites in the affected region. The QuakeGuard automatically resets after an earthquake to be ready to detect aftershocks. Each QuakeGuard contains a Policy Engine that allows the user to customize the QuakeGuard’s response to earthquakes permitting different actions for different situations. There is also a graphical monitoring application accessible from a browser to support monitoring and configuration by the user or Seismic Warning Systems, Inc.

NetQuakeGuard was developed to receive earthquake warnings from Seismic Warning Systems Regional Erthquake Warning networks and provide alert and control outputs. They will be available with a number of configurations
including audio alerts, relay contact closures, and will support serial or networked automation protocols.
Each NetQuakeGuard is connected over the Internet to Seismic servers which remotely monitor its operation and send it earthquake warnings. Secure communications and warning protocols will be supported by the NetQuakeGuard to ensure that control and alert actions are not initiated accidentally or maliciously.
The NetQuakeGuard also implements the Policy Engine to permit customization of alert and control outputs.
A NEWS subscription is required for each NetQuakeGuard since it has no built-in P-wave sensors.

A NEWS subscription is required for each NetQuakeGuard since it has no built-in P-wave sensors.
Earthquake warnings are available by subscription to the service called Network Earthquake Warning Service, or 'NEWS'.
'NEWS'Alerts the QuakeGuard Cloud can increase the amount of warning time significantly; perhaps more than double the warning time of a standalone QuakeGuard. The NEWS warning from the Cloud includes information about the location of the epicenter permitting estimates of arrival time of the shockwaves. It also provides updates on expected intensity as the earthquake develops.
Access to the QuakeGuard Cloud and NEWS Alert is through an annual subscription. All QuakeGuard and NetQuakeGuard models require a subscription. The subscription includes earthquake early warning alerts and maintenance of the QuakeGuard and NetQuakeGuard products and is priced based on the approved occupancy of the facility.
