Whether they are buildings of historic significance or stunning new creations, FireVu protects them.

From historic national treasures such as London Guildhall and the Houses of Parliament to futuristic landmarks such as The Gherkin and the Co-Op’s new headquarters, all entrust their fire safety to FireVu’s Video Smoke Detection technology.

There can be no compromise over using the most effective fire safety solutions for each site’s requirements. Both present different challenges. Historic buildings demand that fire detection systems are unobtrusive and do not affect the integrity of the original designs. Yet, there can be no compromise over using the most effective fire safety solutions for each site’s requirements.

VSD can zone in on key areas (screening out less important areas), detecting the first signs of smoke and flames – FireVu understands the behaviour of smoke and flame patterns and alerts the user immediately to any danger.

FireVu’s detection points can be concealed while offering the fields of view to monitor and protect these high value assets.

Modern creations generally present a different challenge. High-rise buildings, often with voluminous spaces such as storeys high atria, present problems to fire detection systems that rely on smoke particles reaching detection points. Smoke stratifies and in some properties will not reach sensors above certain heights. Yet, even in modern buildings, such as The Gherkin, it was specified that the system had to produce as little “clutter” as possible while monitoring 25 metre deep light wells.

FireVu using Video Smoke Detection is unaffected by such challenges. It can be placed discreetly out of the way, yet its field of view is unhindered. FireVu does not need smoke to reach detection points, it can visually alert designated staff to smoke and a host of other changes that can indicate the start of a fire.

Hotels, leisure and shopping facilities, private commercial property such as banks and public sector buildings all enjoy the fire detection properties of FireVu.

Smoke & Fire solution

NetVu’s FireVu is able to see the movement of smoke or the presence of flame across a CCTV image by identifying their unique characteristics. These include assessing changes in brightness, contrast, shape, edge content, loss of detail, motion and colour matching.

FireVu is triggered at the earliest signs of smoke and can be focused on areas of particular interest. Its ability to offer visual verification, remotely or on-site, can help prioritise emergency responses. Click on FireVu image (right) for large diagram >>

Latest FireVu flame detection algorithm

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest upgrade to the FireVu flame detection algorithm available now with the FireVu 500, our premier video fire detector. The FireVu 500 uses intelligent flame and smoke algorithms to analyse the camera image in order to quickly and reliably detect fire. This latest update has increased both the robustness of the algorithm and the detection range. The detector will react to the presence of even a small fire* in the specified field of view in under 30 seconds. <<Read full article>>

The VSD system is now in operation in a variety of applications throughout the world, either installed as a working system or on trial. Typical applications that can benefit from a VSD smoke detection system include:

Details

Aircraft Hangars

High value aircraft demand the best fire detection technology. Visual Smoke Detection identifies danger early. VSD does not need to wait for smoke to reach sensors and the challenge of smoke stratification slowing detection is not an issue.
Details

Tunnels

It is now mandatory for all tunnels over 500m within the EU to have a fire detection system, it must be a Video Smoke Protection solution if the tunnel is more than 3000m.
Details

Commercial

FireVu provides fire detection solutions for high value property, be they cultural treasures such as London Guildhall or modern icons such as the City of London’s Gherkin. FireVu systems deliver against challenging specifications while adhering to architectural sensitivities and regulations.
Details

Oil Fields

Fire detection is of primary importance in an oil and gas environment. Speed is of the essence in preventing costly and life threatening results. FireVu offers alerts at the first sign of danger, enabling action to be taken.
Details

Waste Management

Fires at waste management sites are paid for by the environment, the emergency services and the local community, but they also cost you and your business. There is a major fire at a waste management or recycling site every day in the UK.

Food Processing

Visual Smoke Detection technology can concentrate on specific danger areas and also provide early alerts across large and voluminous areas. Food processing presents many fire dangers from machines and materials. VSD provides early detection against numerous sources of fire.
