FireVu is introducing the first fire detection technology that combines Visual Smoke Detection (VSD), flame detection and now temperature sensing technology in the form of being built in thermopile.
The Multi Detector will offer users a solution that will identify and analyse smoke and heat patterns to raise alerts.
VSD technology operates by identifying characteristic smoke patterns across a video image. It analyses changes in a range of variables such as colour, brightness, contrast, shape, edge content, motion, colour matching and loss of detail to alert operators early to potential fire danger.
The addition of a thermopile to detect radiated heat will give the advantage of raising alerts by using a completely different technology – a double check.
It will help distinguish potential triggers for false alarms. Steam, for example, can be excluded as a danger point by setting heat criteria above temperatures likely to be encountered.
