What is the difference between a manual and automatic fire monitor?

A manual fire monitor requires a person to physically operate the monitor by manually adjusting the angle and flow of water. On the other hand, an automatic fire monitor is controlled by a computerized system that uses sensors to detect and respond to changes in heat, smoke or fire. The system can adjust the direction and flow of water without human intervention, which can be useful in situations where the risk to human life is high or where manual operation is not feasible due to distance or physical obstacles.
