The Spanish Meteor and Fireball Network (SPMN) is an interdisciplinary join approach with the main aim to study interplanetary matter. Our network started operation on a continuous basis on 2004. Sky monitoring was achieved on the basis of the development of the first all-sky CCD camera capable of obtaining almost full sky coverage with an astrometric accuracy of about 1 arcmin [1] (see e.g. Fig. 1). The successful testing of this prototype for meteor and fireball detections [2] has been followed by the development of other detection techniques as e.g. high sensitivity video detectors [3], and forward scatter meteor detection. The SPMN is already developing and testing new instruments and software with the main goal of creating a new concept of fireball monitoring: an instantaneous patrol of the day and night. In fact, since 2005 SPMN video and CCD detectors are providing online information on meteor and fireball activity. Control software is able to inform us on the appearance of unusual activity in order to perform additional experiments, and for quickly alerting the astronomical community about these outbursts. This is interesting to increase the data coverage of encounters with cometary dust trails [4, 5].
