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

Provide server based analytics to existing cameras

Enhance ROI of an installed security system

Inexpensive insurance to avoid catastrophic event

Open Network Video Interface Forum Standard ◦ Allows standard for connectivity ◦ Can now process IP cameras on a network ◦ Do not have to write multiple interface drivers

Not authorized as an NFPA / UL / FM system

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.
