Video surveillance is used mostly for detecting unwanted visitors and controlling the activity of the others. However, there are many more threats to both life and business to be accounted for. The fires are, unfortunately, a rather common type of emergencies all over the globe. For example, in the US during 2013 alone over 1 million fires left nearly 16000 people injured and over 3000 dead. How many of them could have been prevented? Every single one. After all, the fires have to start somewhere, and if they are detected by smoke detector cameras and extinguished immediately after that, the damage is minimal. Therefore, the chief concern in preventing fires is early detection.
One of the new features of Xeoma is a “Smoke Detector”.
