Specifications

Outdoor Protective Housing

The outdoor protective housing for our condition monitoring package has an IP66 environmental rating, allowing it to withstand harsh conditions. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 50°C thanks to an integrated PTC heater that activates below 15°C and a fan for temperature distribution. The 24V DC power supply powers the 70W system at 3A normal draw (6A peak). An air purge collar provides additional protection.

IR Camera PI 640i

Within the rugged aluminium housing, the package contains a PI 640i infrared camera for thermal imaging. This camera offers 640 x 480 pixel resolution, a 32Hz frame rate, and a thermal sensitivity of 40 mK. Various lens options provide a 15° to 90° horizontal field of view. The PI 640i runs off USB or PoE via the included server.

Visual Camera

Also enclosed is a 720p visible light camera with 1280 x 720 resolution at a frame rate of 30Hz. The 1/4″ lens size enables up to 65° diagonal field of view. Like the IR camera, the visual camera is powered by the USB server via USB or PoE.

Together, the high-performance IR imaging and visual monitoring cameras enclosed in the protective housing allow continuous operation in harsh environments for critical asset protection and process oversight.

What is an Infrared Fire Detection Camera?

An infrared fire detection camera is a specialised device that uses thermal imaging technology to detect heat signatures associated with fires. It can identify hotspots and potential fire risks before they become visible to the naked eye. These cameras are valuable in early fire detection, firefighting, and preventive maintenance in various industries and buildings.

What Cameras are Used for Fire Detection?

Fire detection cameras typically include: 1. Infrared (thermal) cameras: Detect heat signatures 2. Visual spectrum cameras: Identify smoke and flames 3. Multi-spectrum cameras: Combine IR and visual imaging 4. UV flame detectors: Sense ultraviolet radiation from fires 5. Video smoke detection cameras: Use advanced algorithms to identify smoke patterns These specialised cameras offer early fire detection in various environments, enhancing safety and response times.

Why is Early Fire Detection and Quality Control so Important?

Early fire detection and quality control are crucial because: 1. They save lives by providing rapid alerts 2. Minimise property damage and financial losses 3. Reduce downtime in industrial settings 4. Prevent small issues from escalating into major incidents 5. Improve overall safety compliance 6. Enhance insurance coverage and potentially lower premiums 7. Protect valuable assets and data 8. Maintain business continuity and reputation

What Industries Benefit From a Fire Detection System?

Fire detection systems benefit numerous industries, including manufacturing, warehousing, energy production, and data centres. They're crucial in healthcare facilities, hotels, and educational institutions. The transportation sector, including airports and train stations, also relies heavily on these systems. Chemical plants, oil refineries, and other high-risk industrial environments particularly benefit from early fire detection to prevent catastrophic incidents and protect valuable assets.
