Video Image Fire Detection
Video Flame and Smoke Detection Benefits and Applications
Presented by:
Mac Mottley, General Manager Fike Video Image Detection
Current State of Video Flame and Smoke Detection technology
Using existing Security Cameras
Benefit of Video Flame and Smoke Detection
Applications
Situational Awareness
“Flexible fire detection for challenging applications”
Video Image Fire Detection (VID)
Conventional detection devices are challenged by large volumes or high ceilings
Smoke Stratification Issues
Sprinkler systems designed for building protection, require heat to activate
First responders require early, “actionable intelligence” to avoid costly fire damage and firefighter injury.
Post fire event investigation
VID uses video analytics (software algorithms) to emulate human-eye fire recognition.
Analyze each frame (640 x 480) pixel by pixel using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) high and low pass filters (4.5 million data points per second)
Converts 15 frames of pixel data to one normalized pattern in one second.
Neural Network “Trained” with 1000’s of real and false fires.
Uses visible spectrum video images from stationary cameras
Looks at pixel luma value
Analytic process identifies characteristics of flames
Alarm and video output to user interface
Filter removes residual light, leaving only light that is originated from flames.
• Smoke Detection Algorithms
Smoke Signature Recognition
Smoke Aging (red-orange older, blue newer) for movement
Motion detection zones are setup in FOV
Detection zone may be attached to a schedule
Motion detection event categorized similar to a fire event
Environment Dictates Type of Housing ◦ Explosion Proof ◦ Dust or dirt ◦ NEMA 4x (water proof) ◦ Climate controlled (heat or cool) ◦ Wiper or air curtain
Handles up to 32 IP cameras
Available in 3TB (2U) and 6TB (3U) storage configurations
Wintel platform
Rack mountable
Ruggedized option available
View active alarm conditions Receive an audible voice warning Locate the event on building and site plans Coordinate response efforts
Video Management VID IP Network cameras CAT 5 Computer Cable IP Infrastructure (Switches) Network Video Recorder (NVR) Remote Monitoring Software Fire Alarm Dry contacts Monitor Module Fire Alarm Panel

• Recognizes Use of Flame & Smoke VID Systems • Flame VID Classified as Radiant-Energy Sensing
Detector • UL – 268B Video smoke detection • FM – Uses FM 3260 (new FM 3232) and UL 268. • FM 5-48 (Jan. 2011) Recommends video smoke
detection • Property/Business Continuity vs. Life Safety

Large scale fire tests have been carried out by NIST in both 15m and 22m high aircraft hangars. These tests show that sprinklers can be expected to operate in these high ceiling areas as demonstrated by the following results; For the 15 m high facility “The 2.0 m diameter pan fires with heating rates ranging from approximately 5.6 MW to 6.8 MW, were the smallest size fires to activate any automatic sprinklers. The 2.5 m diameter pan fires (tests 6b and 8), which produced estimated heat release rates of 7.7 MW also activated a number of 79 °C to 93 °C automatic sprinklers.” The 79 °C sprinklers tested utilized a quick response thermal element.

Loss associated with that Fire
High Sensitivity in High Hazard
• Stable environment
• Detect fire, smoke and possibly
fuel/oil vapor prior to fire
Who caused the fire? What caused the fire? Where is the fire? When did the fire start? How big is it?
Installed on standard PC Provides video surveillance, smoke,
flame and motion detection View and record the condition that
caused the alarm View and manage system via internet Send email alerts Audible voice warning Locate the event on building/site

Flexibility to reduce false alarms or provide targeted detection
Mask or section areas of camera view to: Disable smoke or flame detection
Enable motion detection
Scheduler allows programming to times of day and days of week
• System alarms when smoke or flame crosses plane, out of masked area
• Detection zones target specific equipment
