Fire Sentry- Smoke Detection System- Smoke Detectors- Visual Smoke Detector
Visual Smoke Detector uses Camera Surveillance
The principle of operation of Visual Smoke Detection is based on the sophisticated computer analysis of the video image, i.e. the area covered by the CCTV camera’s field of view. With the Fire Sentry VSD system, detection zones can be placed anywhere within the camera view, on or around the areas and items to be protected. The ability to visually verify the alarm condition from the front end processor screen or CCTV surveillance monitor represents a powerful new tool in the very early detection of fire.
Fire Sentry´s VSD-8 Visual Smoke Detection System™ is Factory Mutual approved, and is a world first in delivering early warning of fire at the incipient stage, using cost-effective, tried and tested equipment combined with leading edge image processing technology. This technology has been subject to rigorous scrutiny by the Nuclear Power industry, one of the world’s most demanding applications for fire detection systems.

The fire safety industry is unrelenting in the demand for fire detection products that respond quickly to potential fire conditions without generating unwanted, or nuisance alarms. These are the reasons for the growing interest in CCTV based fire detection systems, which feature comprehensive coverage, reliable performance and fast detection capability, on screen visual verification and false alarm immunity.
Fire safety professionals constantly seek the benefits of the early warning of potential fires. If it were possible to place hundreds of smoke, heat or flame detectors in close locations above or around the items or areas at risk, this would enable a fast response to a potential fire, saving valuable time even in voluminous areas or where a high airflow may be present. But such a solution is not possible from a practical or financial point of view. Or is it?
Such a system is now available from Fire Sentry Corporation. The principle of operation of Visual Smoke Detection is based on sophisticated computer analysis of the video image, i.e. the area covered by the CCTV camera’s (sensor) field of view. With the Fire Sentry Visual Smoke Detection, (VSD), System, detection zones can be placed anywhere within the camera view, on or around the items or areas to be protected. The ability to visually verify the alarm condition from the front-end processor screen or CCTV surveillance monitor represents a powerful new tool in very early fire detection.
