Thermal Imaging Fire Detection
Early fire detection is crucial for businesses as it helps to prevent fires from occurring and causing damage to assets and endangering lives. This technology is instrumental in hazardous areas, such as scrapyards and shredder facilities, where fires are difficult to detect and control.
Early Warning Fire Detection System
Multispectral and thermal imaging cameras and sensors have revolutionised how industrial facilities detect and combat fires. This is because multispectral cameras and smart sensors detect small changes in temperature and moisture levels, often indicators of a potential fire. Additionally, thermal sensors and thermal imaging cameras can detect heat signatures that are invisible to the naked eye, allowing firefighting systems to quickly locate hot spots and enact plans to prevent the initial fire from escalating.

This high-quality range of Teledyne FLIR smart sensors and cameras also identifies areas at risk of ignition and enacts planned preventative measures before a fire starts. Automated firefighting responses are all controlled remotely and be activated manually or automatically with data supplied by our fire detection systems. Examples of these actions are:
Turning on a sprinkler system
Shutting down a system
Targeting the hot spot to be soaked in firefighting foam
FLIR thermal imaging cameras monitor temperature changes in fuel storage and laundry facilities, preventing fires and enhancing safety. They identify hot spots in warehouses and detect spontaneous combustion in materials like coal and wood chips.

The benefits of multispectral and thermal imaging cameras for fire detection are clear - they will detect fires and alert them earlier, significantly reducing the impact of these harmful events. As a result, staff are protected, property damage is reduced, and ultimately your business is protected. Contact us regarding thermal imaging for fire detection and prevention using the form below:
Thermal Imagining for Fire Detection Cameras FAQ’s
-
Thermal imaging cameras, such as the FLIR A500f and A700f Advanced Smart Sensors, are used for early fire detection and prevention in industrial and outdoor settings. They identify increased temperatures associated with potentially hazardous conditions, providing automated early warnings to help prevent fires.
-
These cameras feature high-temperature detection capabilities, on-camera analytics, and alarm systems that enable quick and reliable identification of hotspots or dangerous conditions. This allows organisations to act promptly to prevent fires, protect assets, and ensure safety.
-
Businesses in the following sectors commonly use these systems:
Recycling centres
Industrial facilities
Warehouses
Power generation plants
Fuel storage facilities
Thermal imaging cameras are frequently used for pile-burn monitoring in waste management facilities or coal collection areas. They operate 24/7 to provide automated early warnings of potential fire hazards, ensuring safer and more efficient operations.
-
The recommended cameras for fire detection include:
AX5 Series: Models A38, A68, A50, A70
AXX Series: Models A400, A500, A700 smart sensors
FH Series: Models FH ID, FH R
The cameras offer enhanced spot, area, line, polygon, and polyline analytic functions, allowing better definition of areas of interest and object curvatures. This helps to monitor and address potential risks effectively.
-
These cameras detect fires and issue alerts earlier than conventional systems, minimising property damage and safeguarding staff. By reducing the impact of harmful events, businesses can maximise uptime, improve safety, and lower maintenance costs.
