Milestone's XProtect video management software supports the full line of Bosch IP cameras including analytics, access control and now the new fire detection solution.
Using intelligent algorithms in video surveillance, Bosch AVIOTEC can identify smoke and flames as soon as they come into the range of the camera rather than waiting for smoke to migrate to smoke detectors that are often installed on the ceilings of a building. By detecting fires at the source rather than the ceiling, cameras can issue an alarm within seconds compared to point detectors that can take critical minutes to detect an alarm condition. AVIOTEC is based on intelligent algorithms to distinguish between real fires and disturbance values like reflections, movements or backlights. This guarantees more reliable detection with almost no false alarms.
The AVIOTEC video-based fire detection system scales well from a single camera to a networked system of distributed cameras with a central console and video management system such as Milestone XProtect. Using Bosch's Dynamic Transcoding technology, AVIOTEC can relay alarms to an existing fire alarm panel or transmit them via Ethernet to a monitoring center or to a mobile device like an iPad, thanks to the low bandwidth requirements. Receiving HD-quality video images in real time gives firefighters a good understanding of the current situation even before they arrive on the scene.
