Hardware Overview

Grillo offers two sensor models designed for different deployment scenarios. Both sensors use high-quality MEMS accelerometers to detect ground motion and stream data in real-time to the Grillo Cloud.

Grillo One

The Grillo One is a strong motion sensor designed for fixed indoor installations. It uses a low-noise MEMS accelerometer to capture vibrations and ground shaking from small to strong events.

Key features:

  • Low-noise MEMS accelerometer (3 channels)
  • WiFi and Ethernet connectivity
  • Compact design for indoor use
  • Captures small to strong ground motion

Grillo Pulse

The Grillo Pulse adds cellular connectivity and is designed for remote or field deployments. It combines the same low-noise MEMS accelerometer as the Grillo One with a vertical geophone, providing 4 channels of seismic data capable of capturing micro-seismic events up to strong shaking.

Key features:

  • Low-noise MEMS accelerometer + vertical geophone (4 channels)
  • Captures micro-seismic to strong ground motion
  • WiFi and cellular (LTE) connectivity
  • Battery backup for power outages
  • Weather-resistant design
