Standard Rain Gauge Monitoring
High Resolution Rain Data for Broadacre & Dryland Farming
The Wildeye Online Rain Gauge is a self-emptying, low-maintenance, online rain gauge that provides a cost effective and convenient way to collect rainfall measurements. Unlike traditional manual rain gauges, the Wildeye rain gauge is effectively read every 15 minutes in 0.2mm increments - so not only does it tell you how much rain fell, but also precisely when and at what intensity.
Furthermore, unlike manual gauges where data needs to be manually transferred to long term records, data from the Wildeye rain gauge is delivered directly to the cloud for convenient and secure storage and access. And for completeness, you can even upload your existing manual rainfall records.
