Outperform aspirating smoke detectors

SMART Fire & Safety 2024 Products & Solutions

The Aviotec 8000i IR camera achieves, on average, three times faster detection times than current aspirating smoke detectors*, significantly improving speed. Its enhanced AI algorithms also allow for greater reliability and accuracy in distinguishing real fire situations from false alarms. Based on an actual fire or trouble signal, the alarm can be transmitted to a local network, or by two relays, to the central fire panel. Trouble signals could, for example, result from a tilted camera, a blocked lens or a power failure.

Included integrated infrared (IR) illuminator

The new camera further increases fire safety by providing fire protection 24/7 thanks to its integrated infrared (IR) illuminator. Within its specifications, it ensures the camera is fully operational even in total darkness (at 0 Lux), reliably detecting smoke and flames with pure infrared illumination. No additional lighting is required, not even any emergency lighting, making it easier and more cost-effective for specifiers and installers to use the camera.

Simplified installation

Installation of the camera is further simplified by the fact that it is a one-product solution, meaning that no accessories are required. The rugged IP 67 (waterproof) housing, IR-illuminator, new 4-megapixel sensor and motorised lens are all integrated into one unit. In addition, Aviotec’s Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) eliminates the need to install power cables.

Expanding applications

The new features of the Aviotec 8000i IR camera open up a range of new applications, improving fire safety in particularly challenging environments such as manufacturing, where hazardous materials stored outdoors can easily ignite. Irrespective of the weather and lighting conditions, Aviotec’s flame and smoke detection can help to prevent fires from spreading into buildings by detecting fires in open spaces directly at the source, without the need for smoke to reach a fire detector installed indoors, such as on a warehouse ceiling.

Another area where the new Aviotec camera helps to improve fire safety is in train, metro, and bus stations where brakes or electricity can be a source of fire that takes standard fire alarms too long to detect. Aviotec also helps improve fire safety in electric car charging stations where batteries can catch fire. Charging stations are often located in half-open parking garages or outdoors, where the wind can blow smoke in different directions. The highly sensitive AI algorithms of the Aviotec 8000i IR camera with deep learning technology help to detect smoke in windy conditions.

“The new Aviotec 8000i IR is the result of more than a decade of expertise in video-based fire detection. Thousands of Aviotec cameras operating in 72 countries reflect our customers’ trust in this proven technology,” says Patrizia Bogers, Global Business Development Manager Aviotec.
