Abstract: An automated system for environmental monitoring that allows to control large forest areas in on-line mode and to timely detect the landscape fires has been developed. Each IP camera is equipped with a special swivel base with two independent (horizontal and vertical) drives. The system software enables the control of the cameras and communication with sensors and controllers in the robotic mode. The system provides for significant increase in the promptness of detection of changes in the radiation background indicators and emergence of fire outbreak areas; besides, it would save time and effort, reduce material and financial expenses on the activities to localize and eliminate radioactive forest fires and reduce the economic and environmental impact due to accidental and seasonal fires.

Key words: forest fire, monitoring, radiation background, rotating video-camera, environmental impact.
