SmokeCatcher-Milestone integration

 

SmokeCatcher is a reliable early warning system for smoke detection in critical indoor environments. By adding the SmokeCatcher video analytics to your visual security camera, SmokeCatcher offers superfast smoke detection in places where traditional smoke detection systems fail due to slow detection or too many false alarms.

SmokeCatcher will feed the video captured by SmokeCatcher compatible cameras into the Milestone XProtect VMS. When the SmokeCatcher video analytics system detects a smoke incident, users will receive event notifications and metadata, including bounding boxes over the live and recorded video. Also, pre- and post-event recording of smoke incidents is fully integrated into the Milestone environment.

SmokeCatcher can spot initiating fires directly at the source, practically from any distance. This is a huge speed advantage compared to conventional smoke detectors that need to make physical contact with the smoke. With SmokeCatcher, there is no need to wait until the smoke has reached the ceiling. Since it is so fast and since it allows for visual verification, SmokeCatcher provides the operator with valuable time to make a well-founded decision. That decision could be calling the emergency services and avoid further damage or human suffering. Or it could be ignoring the alarm and if possible isolating and containing the fire in order to prevent the entire operation to close down and run into costs.
