SmartEAR®
Water loss is an invisible but costly problem for any water supply. And nobody knows this better than water managers and service providers, who are faced with the daily challenge of detecting and repairing leaks at an early stage. Not every leak is obvious - many remain undetected for a long time, causing damage to the infrastructure and leading to unnecessary costs.
One of the most powerful NB-IoT noise loggers in its class!
The smart noise logger detects even the smallest changes in the pipe network and makes leaks audible before they become real problems. Automated, precise and reliable, the system records acoustic signals around the clock and sends the data directly to a central platform. Water leaks are thus detected at an early stage without the need for time-consuming manual inspections.
The installation is very simple
SmartEAR is placed at strategic points in the network and starts monitoring immediately. An intuitive POSEYEDON user interface provides you with all the relevant information directly - available at any time and from anywhere. This not only saves valuable time, but also significantly reduces the personnel required for regular checks.

Latest technology
The use of LTE-M / NB-IoT technology ensures secure, fast and reliable data transmission. In addition to these basic advantages, this technology offers additional benefits and secure data transmission.
- Extended coverage
- Energy efficiency
- Cost efficiency
- Scalability
Precise leak detection with intelligent frequency analysis
The SmartEAR® noise loggers offer more than just classic noise detection - they enable a detailed analysis of the levels per frequency band. A particularly unique feature is the individual setting of the threshold values per frequency band, which enables more precise leak detection even in demanding environments.
Targeted frequency adjustments can help to minimize noise and reliably identify real leakage signals, especially in the event of high levels of interference from the power grid or other external influences. SmartEAR® therefore offers a powerful and flexible solution for even more accurate leak monitoring in drinking water networks.

Summary
After installation, SmartEAR® continuously monitors the drinking water network and detects the smallest noises that indicate a leak. The intelligent algorithms analyze these signals and help to locate leaks early and precisely. All recorded data is stored securely in the POSEYEDON® cloud and is available at any time for further analysis and action.
This makes everyday life much easier for water managers and service providers. SmartEAR® relieves them of the time-consuming, manual search for leaks and enables them to act quickly and in a targeted manner. Instead of large-scale excavations or time-consuming inspections, leaks can now be found quickly.
With its robust design, long battery life and simple installation via the SmartEAR®-GO! app, the system is tailored to the requirements of water supply. It saves time, reduces water losses and minimizes unnecessary costs - an efficient solution for daily operation that helps to protect and optimize supply networks in the long term.

FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions
SmartEAR® is an innovative acoustic leak detection system that has been specially developed for the early detection of water leaks in pipe networks. It uses highly sensitive sensors and advanced algorithms to identify and analyze the sound of leaks.
SmartEAR® enables utilities and network operators to efficiently and accurately locate leaks before they cause major damage or water loss. The technology is designed to simplify the leak detection process and increase the efficiency of water loss reduction.
SmartEAR® is ready for use in just a few minutes. The device is simply positioned at the desired measuring point, switched on - and it starts recording and analyzing sounds from the environment.
Thanks to the user-friendly operation and fast acoustic detection, leak detection can be started immediately without time-consuming set-up or calibration. In conjunction with POSEYEDON®, the recorded data can also be analyzed directly and integrated into a comprehensive network monitoring system.
The Li-metal cell (hereinafter referred to as the battery) of the SmartEAR® lasts up to 9 years, depending on use and environmental conditions. This eliminates the need for costly regular battery changes, and the device remains reliable in use for many years.
As the battery is not permanently installed, it can be replaced if necessary without having to replace the entire device. SmartEAR® is therefore a low-maintenance and long-term solution for leak detection.
SmartEAR® uses the LTE-M and NB-IoT radio standards for wireless data transmission. These technologies ensure a reliable connection, even in remote areas or underground installations. Thanks to its low energy consumption, the system remains operational for up to 9 years without the need for frequent battery changes. In addition, real-time data transmission enables fast and precise leak detection. Integration with POSEYEDON® allows the data collected to be processed efficiently and used for intelligent leak monitoring.
The data from SmartEAR® is transmitted directly to a central cloud platform via the LTE-M and NB-IoT wireless standards. From there, it is transferred to POSEYEDON®, where it is processed, analyzed and used for intelligent leak monitoring.
Our POSEYEDON® Cloud is hosted on Microsoft Azure servers in Germany to ensure the highest security and data protection standards. Cybersecurity is a top priority for us, which is why all data is protected with 128-bit encryption. This ensures that sensitive information is processed securely and reliably at all times.
No, no additional hardware is required to set up SmartEAR® - apart from a cell phone or tablet with our app for iOS & Android. The intuitive app makes it easy to set up, control and analyze the collected data, so SmartEAR® is ready to use right out of the box.
SmartEAR® offers various mounting options to ensure flexible and reliable installation in different environments.
The device can be securely attached to water pipes, hydrants or other network components using a magnet (which is included in the scope of delivery). This mounting option offers quick and easy installation, regardless of the local conditions.
