GECKO SMA-HR

The Gecko SMA-HR accelerograph is the ideal solution for structural monitoring of buildings. With its earthquake-observatory grade sensor, you can detect the natural frequency of your building from small, non-damaging earthquakes, as well as perform highly accurate dynamic analysis of the structure after the largest of earthquakes.

The acceleration sensor is sensitive enough to record earthquakes that are not detectable by human perception, so it is certainly capable of recording the motion of any earthquake that may be large enough to be of concern to building safety.

Gecko accelerographs will store over a year of continuous time series data on its memory card, will generate alarm signals when a major seismic event is detected, and will operate for 12+ hours without mains power should an earthquake interrupt the mains AC supply.

Gecko data is streamed in real time to a local PC running our Streams software that will display the data on the screen with a colour-coded visual indicator of intensity for rapid response when an earthquake has been felt.Waves, our data analysis program, and Streams are available for Windows, macOS, Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi.
