Video Fire Detection

Cameras that detect heat are nothing new, but all of the fire detection technology on the market today relies upon thermal imaging. FCamX™ relies on the far more accurate infrared (IR) signature, a readable amount of which is produced instantly by a nascent fire – unlike the thermal signature. A filter allows IR light pass through instead of visible light, rendering detection extremely quick and almost wiping out false alarms.
It is in the accuracy of the reading and the lack of false alarms that FCamX™ really excels. Heat detection systems can be made to give a false reading by almost any heat-producing equipment – aero-engines, pipes, generators etc – or by random excessive movements or lights – flashing beacons, vehicle lights, moving parts etc. By using the IR signature to confirm the presence of a flame, FCamX™ cuts out these unnecessary alarms, making your fire response quicker, more accurate and more efficient.
We specialise in implementation into the waste industry however this technology can be installed in almost any environment from aircraft hangers to food processing or oil fields to tunnels.
Detection time is on average 10 seconds and flame can be detected at up to 180m away from the camera. This early detection linked to a BS-5839 fire system can provide the early warning needed for environmental and insurance requirements.
