Video-Based Fire Detection
UTRC is a leader in the development of effective visible spectrum Video Fire Detection (VFD), enhancing the capabilities of ordinary video cameras and signal processing to reliably identify the onset of a fire in advance of lives becoming threatened or property destroyed. A video-based detection system offers a wide range of performance capabilities and might present the best option when monitoring environments that are unusually cramped (such as tunnels or mines) or extraordinarily open (such as aircraft hangars or warehouses).
