Smoke and fire detection
Protect people and property with video management software and other video technology.
Streamline health and safety
Detect smoke and fire with the latest hardware and analytics
Integrating smoke and fire detection with your video management software (VMS) can help your organization prevent loss of life and property damage. You can integrate two types of smoke/fire detection devices to your VMS — a smoke/heat sensor or a camera that uses analytics to detect smoke or flames based on visual behavior. Each hardware choice has its own pros and cons, but the choice to integrate the technology with your VMS has many benefits.
When a traditional smoke/heat sensor is used with your VMS, you will be able to immediately establish situational awareness in order to decide what your response should be. You can also program automatic responses, such as alerts/notifications for the VMS operator and emergency services. This is also true when you use a camera that detects smoke or fire with your VMS, but the added benefit with this choice of detection device is that you can save time as a camera will be able to identify smoke or fire before the smoke/heat has reached it.
Using video technology and a VMS in conjunction with your choice of smoke and fire detection is also beneficial because of video archiving. Reviewing past footage can help you to diagnose fires and identify problems in order to make adjustments that could improve your health and safety procedures.
