VantagePoint

Cloud monitoring for ALERT2 and environmental telemetry

VantagePoint gives operators a real-time view of telemetry networks, with live maps, alarms, charts, public dashboards, command workflows, and system health visibility in one cloud-hosted platform.

Rapid situational awareness

See network conditions at a glance

Start with a live map of sites, readings, alarm states, and stale-data indicators. Operators can move from regional status to site-level detail quickly during routine monitoring or storm response.

  • Map-based operational overview
  • Current readings at site markers
  • Fast filtering by sensor type and status
  • Direct access to tools and site detail

Continuous monitoring

Alarms and warnings that keep operators informed

VantagePoint tracks thresholds, stale telemetry, warning states, and alarm conditions continuously. Notifications can be delivered by SMS or email so staff know when monitored conditions need attention.

Alarm detail views bring the current reading, maximum value, acknowledgement state, action status, event history, and sensor chart into one review workflow.

  • Warning and alarm states
  • SMS and email notification paths
  • Acknowledgement and event review
  • Open alarms directly in map context

Charts and analysis

Connect rainfall, stage, and system behavior

Review hydrographs, rainfall totals, interval rainfall, rolling totals, and historical trends. VantagePoint helps agencies understand what happened during an event and validate telemetry after conditions change.

For ALERT2 operators, that context supports routine review, active storm operations, and follow-up analysis after the network returns to normal conditions.

Command and control

Send field commands with confidence

Pre-configure field commands to make taking action simple and intuitive, with reference sensor readings and recent command history visible before action. VantagePoint keeps command workflows deliberate, repeatable, and accessible to authorized operators.

  • Clearly labeled, color-coded buttons make each action's intent clear.
  • Reference sensors and recent invocations give operators immediate context.

Public dashboard

Public views for rainfall, stage, and agency-branded information

When public communication is part of the deployment, publish simplified, mobile-friendly dashboards. VantagePoint public views provide map-based access to current readings, charts, and agency-branded information without exposing operational controls.

System health and diagnostics

Monitor the monitoring system

Track telemetry freshness, site status, device behavior, and diagnostic signals across the network. VantagePoint helps agencies identify communication issues, sensor problems, and operational gaps before they become surprises.

System health views show completeness, site issues, unmapped sites, unmapped sensors, stale activity, and detailed telemetry quality trends.

  • Daily data completeness
  • Sites with active issues
  • Unmapped site and sensor reports
  • Telemetry quality diagnostics
