Modern Area is a water monitoring and field data system that connects water level stations, sensors, and CCTV cameras into a single integrated picture, for local and state government agencies that need to see water levels before thresholds are reached and determine who does what when thresholds are met.
Municipalities • Local authorities • Irrigation teams • Area infrastructure integrators
Modern Area suits municipalities, local authorities, irrigation teams and area infrastructure integrators with multiple risk locations and too few staff to take daily field readings. It combines DoRare Station, a non-contact 80 GHz radar water-level station; DoRare View, which reads water levels from existing CCTV; and InSensor for field sensor data collection and processing. All stations appear on one map with threshold-based alerts.
There are 2 starting options. Use DoRare View with existing CCTV that clearly shows a staff gauge both day and night, from THB 5,500 per month. Alternatively, install a solar- and battery-powered DoRare Station, from THB 250,000 per station (including VAT). If existing cameras cannot see a staff gauge, start with DoRare Station.
The system supports measurement and alerts. Public warnings and local response decisions remain the responsibility of authorised officials. DoRare Station sends data over 4G mobile networks, so locations with weak or no signal are not ready for installation and require a site survey first.

Answer the 4 questions below before installation. Your answers determine station count, locations and alert thresholds.
Before choosing station numbers, we start with locations where water rises quickly, past flood locations and routes used by residents.
Installation position, reference level and obstructions beneath the sensor affect readings. Initially, we compare measurements with the existing staff gauge before using them to set thresholds.
Look at both current levels and historical records to see how quickly water rose during past rainy seasons, then use that information to set monitoring thresholds for each station.
An alert system needs accountable roles. Before going live, we define notification recipients, out-of-hours responsibilities and the actions required at each level.
DoRare Station is a non-contact radar water-level station powered by solar panels and batteries. A camera captures actual images for comparison with measured values, providing field data for tracking water levels and setting monitoring thresholds.

The guidance below comes from our actual water-level station installations. Each point explains what we did, what we learned and what it means for your area.
Our experienceIn 2026, we installed 20 DoRare Station units along rivers in 4 Thai provinces, with additional weather stations at 5 locations. Each cabinet has a camera that photographs a staff gauge for AI readings approximately every 15 minutes, plus a radar sensor for a separate water-level measurement.
What we learnedShowing the actual staff-gauge image beside its reading lets operators visually check that the displayed figure matches water conditions, and retain the image as supporting evidence.
What does it mean to you?Your stations should therefore have a way to cross-check readings from day one, such as a camera with a clear view of the staff gauge or an initial comparison with readings taken by staff.
Read the case study: 20 water-level stations across 4 provincesOur experienceIn the same project, every control cabinet runs on solar panels and batteries and sends data through a 4G router with a SIM card. The cabinet status page shows the battery, fan, router and SIM data usage, and operators can select from 4 power modes.
What we learnedField stations are remote and unattended. If the system cannot report a low battery or a lost connection, operators cannot tell whether missing readings are caused by water conditions or equipment. Power and communications planning is therefore part of the measurement system.
What does it mean to you?Before designing the system, we ask about mobile coverage and power sources at each location. Equipment alerts, such as an offline camera or low battery, are configured separately from water-level alerts.
See cabinet status monitoring in the 20-station water-level case studyOur experienceIn the same project, operators can set 3 levels—normal, watch and critical—for each station. When the critical threshold is reached, the system sends a LINE or email alert as configured.
What we learnedEach location has its own staff gauge and camera position. Scale calibration and alert thresholds must therefore be configured per station, rather than using one setting for the entire system.
What does it mean to you?Before launch, prepare a list of the roles that should receive alerts at each level and station, including those responsible outside office hours.
