See the smoke before the sensor ever would.
Conventional smoke detectors do not work in open yards, high-bay warehouses or parking structures. Video fire analytics do. Our cameras recognize smoke plumes and flame signatures, and an operator confirms and calls it in — often minutes ahead of any alarm panel.
Supplementing — not replacing — your fire alarm system.
Video fire detection is an additional layer for the spaces your code-required system cannot cover: lumber and pallet yards, EV charging areas, dumpster enclosures, encampment-prone edges, high-ceiling warehouses and vehicle lots. A live operator eliminates false dispatches by looking before calling.
- Smoke and flame analytics on existing or dedicated cameras
- Operator verification on live video within seconds of detection
- Direct notification to fire services and your emergency contacts
- Thermal camera option for hot-spot detection (battery storage, equipment)
- Same-night incident report with time-to-detection documented

Spaces where video fire detection matters
Yards & outdoor storage
Lumber, pallets, tires, scrap and dumpsters — the most common ignition points and the hardest to cover with sensors.
High-bay & industrial
Open warehouses and plants where smoke takes too long to reach ceiling detectors.
Lots & EV charging
Vehicle fires and charger thermal events in structures and open lots, including thermal monitoring.
Calibrated per camera, verified by a person.
We enable fire analytics on cameras with a clear view of risk areas and calibrate against lighting, steam and dust at your site. On detection, an operator confirms visually, calls fire services with the exact location, and notifies your contacts — then stays on camera to guide responders.
About fire & smoke detection
No — it is a supplemental early-warning layer. Your code-required fire alarm system stays in place; video detection covers what that system cannot.
Calibration during setup teaches the analytics the normal conditions at your site, and a live operator looks before anyone is dispatched. False fire dispatches are extremely rare.
Yes, with a thermal camera. Rising surface temperature triggers an alert long before visible smoke.
