IoT Sensor Integration
A live feed from your land - with instant alerts.
LandSure's IoT sensors put a live instrument on the ground itself - real-time monitoring from your land. Each sensor pairs with a rugged, cellular-connected gateway and reports continuously into your LandSure sensor dashboard, sending instant SMS and email alerts the moment something changes. Satellite tells you the trend. A sensor tells you the moment it moves.

Understanding the difference
Satellites and sensors measure different things. Both matter.
A satellite sees the earth from roughly 700 kilometres away, using radar pulses that bounce off the ground. It covers vast areas with extraordinary precision - but it passes overhead every 12 days. A tilt sensor is 5 centimetres from the ground. It measures angle changes in real time and transmits every few minutes - but it covers one specific point. These are not competing technologies. They are complementary layers of the same system.
| InSAR Satellite | IoT Sensors | Combined | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Whole property + area | One precise location | Full area + pinpoint |
| Update speed | Every 12 days | Continuous / real-time | 12-day baseline + live |
| What it captures | Wide-area movement trend | Live point readings & events | Cross-validated |
| Deployment | No installation | Installation required | Satellite first, sensor where needed |
| Weather | Sees through cloud | Works in any weather | Always on |
| Best for | Long-term trend | Immediate event | Complete picture |
Start with the satellite. Deploy sensors where the data says you should be looking closer.
How a LandSure sensor works
Three layers, working as one.
Every LandSure sensor is really three things stacked together. The probe senses, a rugged gateway transmits over the cellular network, and your dashboard shows the reading and raises the alert. Because the gateway is cellular, it keeps reporting from a remote hillside, cliff edge or paddock with no power or internet on site - and never depends on your home Wi-Fi.

Rugged, cellular-connected unit
LandSure shows data & sends alerts
Industrial-grade, cellular-connected instruments - not consumer smart-home gadgets. Rugged, weatherproof housings built for exposed sites, reporting into your LandSure sensor dashboard.
The sensor line
What LandSure's sensors measure.
Satellite monitoring tells you the trend. LandSure sensors tell you the moment it changes - physical, real-time monitoring installed on your land, reporting straight to your LandSure sensor dashboard. Four sensors, each matched to a specific ground or water risk.
The four sensors
Land Stability Sensor
“Feel the ground move before the trend does.”
A physical tilt sensor anchored to the slope, structure or ground you're watching - measuring angle change in real time, day or night, rain or shine.
- 3-axis tilt (X/Y/Z, ±90°, ±1°) + movement events
- IP67 housing, 5+ year battery, NFC setup
- Cellular - no home Wi-Fi needed
Soil Moisture Sensor
“Saturation is the warning sign before movement.”
A buried probe tracking soil moisture, temperature and conductivity continuously - because rising saturation is one of the earliest triggers of slope movement.
- Moisture 0-100% (±3%), temp -40 to 85°C
- Built-in cellular - no separate gateway
- Waterproof probe, multi-year battery
Flood & Water-Level - Continuous
“Forecast becomes fact, in real time.”
A non-contact ultrasonic sensor reading water level continuously - a live reading of the water, right where it matters.
- Level 3-450cm (±1cm) + ambient temp
- Non-contact, mounts above the water
- IP67, ~10 year battery
Flood & Water-Level - Instant Alarm
“The moment water reaches the line that matters.”
A contact-triggered alarm for the exact point where rising water first becomes a problem. Pairs with the continuous sensor for trend + instant trigger.
- Binary presence trigger, under 50ms response
- Relay output to the on-site gateway
- IP66 weatherproof
Sensors are an early-warning and confirmation tool - not a substitute for on-site inspection. They work alongside your geotechnical engineer, giving continuous ground-truth between satellite passes.

Please read before you buy. A LandSure report is a satellite measurement. It is not an inspection, an engineering assessment or a warning system, and satellite radar does not measure all land equally well. Nine things to know before you buy.
