Networks

A seismic network in Grillo Cloud is a collection of sensors working together to monitor ground motion in a geographic area.

What is a network?

A network represents:

• A group of related sensors
• A geographic monitoring area
• A unit for event detection (if enabled)
• An organizational boundary for data

Examples of networks

• Regional network - Sensors across a city or state
• Campus network - Sensors around a university or corporate campus
• Building network - Sensors monitoring a single structure
• Research network - Sensors for a specific study or project

Network hierarchy

Organization
└── Network
    ├── Sensor 1
    ├── Sensor 2
    ├── Sensor 3
    └── Events (detected from network data)

A network belongs to one organization and contains multiple sensors.

Creating a network

To create a new network:

1. Navigate to your organization
2. Click "Networks" in the sidebar
3. Click "Create network"
4. Enter network name and details
5. Click "Create"

Best practices

Network organization

By geography:

• "Northern California Network"
• "Mexico City Network"

By purpose:

• "Research Network - Project Alpha"
• "Early Warning Network"

By building/campus:

• "Main Campus Sensors"
• "Building A Monitoring"

Single vs multiple networks

Use one network when:

• All sensors serve the same purpose
• You want unified event detection
• Sensors are in the same general area

Use multiple networks when:

• Sensors serve different purposes
• You need separate event detection
• You want to organize by location/building
• Different teams manage different sensors
