BiKal IP CCTV Claims Lives Can be Saved with Video Smoke and Fire Detection

A video smoke and fire detection system has been developed by UK tech firm BiKal IP CCTV. Released to the public this October, the video smoke & fire detection system promises to help save lives, costly environmental damage and help secure industrial processes by alerting authorities to fire threats over large areas in real time allowing a rapid & organised response.

London, United Kingdom, October 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- BiKal’s smoke & fire detection system reaches areas that regular fire alarm systems cannot reach. In wide open areas, large open buildings, industrial areas or constructions sites, it can be either impractical or too expensive to deploy traditional fire detection systems. However, the new fire detection system from BiKal can be deployed anywhere in a matter of minutes using just a camera saving time and costs.

The fire detection system from BiKal consists of a software / computer platform that performs video analytics, a process of analysing video data for pre-defined rules, in this case the detection of smoke & fire patterns. Video can be captured from most existing or modern network CCTV cameras offering seamless compatibility & integration with new or old surveillance systems. When the possibility of fire is detected, an alarm is generated producing live video of the event in a pop-up window with options to notify other emergency staff via e-mail & SMS.

The system can also be supplied with its own high definition camera and be deployed in indoor, outdoor & rugged locations. The system can utilise renewable energy for power & make use of wireless communications offering a complete standalone wireless unit.

The smoke & fire detection system is particularly useful in dealing with modern day problems & environments having the potential to serve as an early warning system for forest fires to detecting hazardous events at industrial sites from oil rigs to gas platforms. Public areas can also be secured during events such as carnivals or protests to helping with detection of burning cars and other anti-social events. With options such as 2 way audio, video operators can immediately react to events and co-ordinate fire teams to respond before further damage can occur.

The smoke & fire detection system is a part of BiKal’s flagship surveillance software, EyeSoft, and its video analytics library.
