FireVision - Using video monitoring to detect fires early on

The sooner a fire is detected, the less damage it can cause. Indeed, prompt fire detection is crucial when it comes to protecting people’s health and property. With FireVision Securiton offers a solution which detects fires quickly and reliably at the earliest possible stage, with sharp and unwavering eyes. The automatic image analysis verifies image after image several times a second – without ever tiring.

With its precise event detection FireVision ensures that any potential sources of hazard are continuously monitored, especially in large buildings and premises that cover a large area. The system permanently evaluates the images received from the surveillance cameras. Even if only the merest traces of smoke or fire are detected, it automatically triggers an alarm and switches the video sequences through to the surveillance monitors. The emergency services are immediately given a precise picture of the situation, enabling lightning-quick, targeted interventions.

Dust, heat or soot can seriously affect the operation of traditional fire detection systems. And yet it is precisely in the sort of environments characterised by high emissions of such elements that the outbreak of a fire can have disastrous consequences: tunnels, production facilities, workshops, ships, etc. FireVision continues to operate perfectly even under difficult conditions. Given that it monitors the potential sources of hazards by visual means, the system is practically immune to these disruptive elements. And because it scrutinises the images from the surveillance cameras separately for smoke or fire, it provides twice the level of detection security.
