Intelligent fire detection and surveillance solution

1 January 2014 Surveillance, Products & Solutions

Due to the inherent nature of their design, many of today’s modern, large structures are not adequately protected against smoke and fire. Features like large atriums, vast open areas and high ceilings, can make the use of traditional smoke and fire detection methods impractical, ineffective and difficult to maintain and operate. High airflow and smoke stratification can prevent smoke from reaching spot-type smoke detectors, adding to the ineffectiveness of traditional fire detection in open area facilities.

SigniFire by Fike is a video, flame, smoke and intrusion detection solution. The camera-based SigniFire detection system visually detects the presence of fire or smoke at its source, independent of airflow in the area. SigniFire represents a critical advantage for early warning fire detection, identifying and reacting to fire situations in their earliest stages, and protecting lives and property.

Advantages of Visual Based Fire Detection (VBFD) over conventional means of detection:

1. Early warning as fire is detected at the source.

2. CE, UL, FM and NFPA approvals.

3. Perfectly suited for large open areas.

4. Simple installation.

5. Has intrusion detection capabilities (fire and security in one camera).

6. Visual verification of the fire.

SigniFire is a total video, flame, smoke and intrusion detection solution – scalable and ideal for new facilities, stand-alone systems and some retro-fit projects.
