FireVu

FireVu is an advanced embedded Video Smoke Detection (VSD) server designed to operate over an IP network. Using D-Tec’s advanced, mathematical algorithms it is capable of determining the presence of smoke within each of its eight available analogue camera inputs (PAL or NTSC). Operators can be alerted either remotely over the system’s network or local to the unit via relay outputs.

Each camera image can have up to 16 fully independent, configurable zones, allowing the user complete flexibility on setting up the areas to be protected with their required sensitivity levels. System configuration is carried out via a series of web pages using a browser such as Internet Explorer, while system monitoring and reviewing is carried out using D-Tec’s NetVu ObserVer client software.

All alarm events are recorded to disk with configurable pre and post event video, allowing the operator to witness (and download) the event, including who or what created it.

The system is a 19” rack-mountable unit, utilising in-house manufactured Visual Signal Processors (ViSPs) to process the images.

Each unit possesses 16 configurable relay outputs and can accept up to 16 alarm inputs. Numerous servers can be joined to a network to create a multi-camera system for larger installations.
