PROMOTION Performance cameras Businesses are under constant pressure to effectively safeguard people and property. For both the security and fire industries, IP cameras are an increasingly popular option for providing the best protection possible. Ranges such as Honeywell’s Performance series can offer users superior image clarity and definition, enabling them to support a more sophisticated security solution ne of the biggest challenges for fire Odefence systems is unwanted activations. For businesses looking to minimise these events, IP-compatible fire threat verification is one of the best options. In the past, security and fire systems have been considered two separate elements of building design. However, the rise of new Internet of Things technology has led to improved systems that can incorporate both requirements. By combining video content analytics technology from CCTV monitoring with standard smoke and flame detection, businesses can develop an integrated, effective warning system against fire. With performance cameras in place, fire alarms can be verified in real-time, a huge advantage for company owners. The fire verification market continues to suffer from the alarming frequency of false alarms, which has led to a number of fire and rescue services no longer responding to alarms that haven’t been physically verified. Consequently, it is vital to have a solution in place for verifying the authenticity of the alarm as it occurs. Investing in a fire detection system with performance cameras and video analytics also provides customers with improved situational awareness. In some cases, users are offered convenient mobile visibility from anywhere, which allows them to take informed and immediate action to prevent casualties and minimise damage to the property. Video footage is also important for post-event analysis of the breakout. By reviewing a recording of the fire, those in charge can determine what started the fire in the first instance and take the necessary steps to avoid a future reoccurrence. Performance cameras and video verification are particularly beneficial for hazardous or unmanned facilities, or for large buildings where it takes more time for the smoke to reach the ceiling detectors. Examples of such environments include shopping centres and warehouses. For a number of these types of sites, video is a necessary instalment to ensure adequate protection against fire and the personal safety of any occupants. Additionally, performance cameras and video verification can be a worthy investment for numerous small and medium-sized businesses looking to protect their assets across a range of industries. Given the significant financial impact that fire can have on businesses, investing in these technologies is an option that should be strongly considered. The capabilities of these combined security and fire systems have only improved in recent years. The CPU power in cameras has improved substantially, and the overall quality of images has also increased. The growing prevalence of IP-enabled technology in the market has led to a surge in popularity for these combined technologies, both in homes and businesses. As the technology becomes more affordable, sites that already have a fire/smoke detection system installed have even more reason to integrate IPcompatible fire threat verification.
