AVIOTEC's cutting-edge technology offers flame and smoke detection for locations with no light. Due to separate additional infrared illumination, unlit applications can be monitored with video-based fire detection delivering pin-sharp images.
During the daytime, the device shows coloured pictures and shifts to monochrome night mode when visibility drops below a pre-defined level. When daylight returns it automatically switches back to colour mode. The video-based fire detection AVIOTEC IP starlight 8000 is delivered with the new firmware. Existing installations can be upgraded to the new technology by a free firmware update.
Flame and smoke detection in 0 lux environments with IR illumination
A video-based fire detection is also an option for applications where there is no lighting available. Due to infrared illumination, fewer light sources need to be installed e.g. for nighttime surveillance reducing the fire load and energy costs noticeably.
In environments with no light AVIOTEC IP starlight, 8000 working in monochrome mode can perform both: fire detection and remote optical verification.
Fall-back level due to automatic switch if illumination fails
The integrated day and night switch ensures reliable fire detection and video surveillance
If the visible illumination fails, i.e. in tunnels, it is important to ensure that video-based fire detection is working uninterruptibly and that staff members in monitoring centers still have all the necessary insights into the situation.
The integrated day and night switch ensures reliable fire detection and video surveillance. It gives operators enough time to solve the failure of light sources. This saves time-consuming and error-prone human investigation. Full redundant 24/7 illumination is not required anymore.
Unobtrusive video surveillance with infrared
During the nighttime, burglars cannot spy on possible intrusion targets due to missing visible light or light sources while fire detection can be ensured. No visible illumination is used which helps to prevent burglary and arson.
Combined intelligent video analytic rules also allow tracking down intruders without visible light. Next to 24/7 fire detection, the new AVIOTEC version enables 24/7 intelligent video analytics for comprehensive safety solutions.
