A new fire detection system has been developed to provide warning of outdoor fires over extensive areas.
Opgal (Karmiel, Israel) designed the Warning Eye fire detection solution. This device can monitor large areas from forests to factories, oil fields to nuclear stations, wooden structures to urban areas. It has unique video analysis software for early detection of fires even in small areas and can identify numerous fire spots simultaneously both at short and long range.
The system sends automatic alarms to local fire-fighting control room when fire, heat, and/or smoke are detected. The 360-degree scan and powerful CCD (charge-coupled device; an electronic memory that records the intensity of light as a variable charge) zoom features of the device allow for better view orientation in the problem area.
Opgal Optronics Industries is a leading global manufacturer of innovative thermal imaging safety systems and infrared cameras, as well as safety applications for detection of gas and hazardous material leaks, and for fire detection.
