How to keep your business flame free
We all know how detrimental fire can be especially when it starts to affect a business. As something capable of spreading so quickly, it’s important to tackle the blaze as early on as possible.
What is fire prevention?
With the use of thermal imaging, you can monitor the surface temperature of anything within the cameras field of view.
By installing a complete fire monitoring system in your business, the cameras can be used in conjunction with specially tailored fire detection software, that can trigger alarm sensors before temperatures reach alarming and unsafe levels.
What Industries can Fire Prevention be Used?
WASTE –
Due to pressure where waste is stored and the gases produced waste, the piles can spontaneously ignite, so a thermal camera system can alert you straight away if this happens.
FUEL –
As we all know, fuel is extremely flammable. If fuels were to combust, it can lead to a lot of damage to your business and employees. With the installation of the thermal cameras, this risk is automatically reduced.
WAREHOUSES –
Thermal cameras can detect a fire before it has ignited, so warehouses with flammable materials can extinguish the fire before the stock is either damaged or destroyed as well as reducing the danger to their employees.
IGNITABLE HEAPS –
Substances like wood chip, fertiliser and coal are all flammable materials. When materials like fertilisers are stored, explosions can occur due to the decomposition into two separate gases. The mass storage of coal and wood chip can also ignite; with infrared cameras monitoring these hot spots, this prevents spontaneous combustion from occurring.
Benefits of Fire Prevention Monitoring
ROUND THE CLOCK MONITORING –
Thermal cameras will be monitoring your site 24/7 so you don’t need to worry about your site not being observed.
ALARM SYSTEMS –
If a high temperature is detected, the thermal camera will liaise with the fire detection software and trigger an alarm system to notify you of the temperature increase.
EXTINGUISH FIRES –
Rather than calling for emergency services to extinguish a fire, you can get the thermal camera to trigger a water cannon/ sprinkler system simultaneously with the help of the fire prevention software.
PRECISE AREA MONITORING –
We will visit your site before ordering the equipment and installation, so we can determine where the infrared cameras will need to be installed, offering you a complete installation package.
REMOTELY CONTROLLED –
If camera positions need to be adjusted, we can dial in remotely to your site, rather than having to visit your site and alter positions manually. This helps to save you money and get problems resolved quickly.
What system is right for you?
Maybe you’re a company that doesn’t have spontaneous fires often, or maybe you have them all the time, whatever the situation is we have you covered.
If you can contain a fire, then the temperature alarm system is something that could be ideal for you as it monitors the area and will continue to find any peaks in temperatures.
However, if you have fires at a wider scale, we can also look at the installation of a remote fire fighting system to tackle a fire. This works by linking a water cannon system to the thermal alarms, allowing the ‘hot spot’ to be extinguished as soon as the alarm sounds.
How can we help?
If you decide that fire prevention is something your business needs or could benefit on, we can offer you a package catered to your needs.
We will arrange a site visit with you, for us to discuss what sort of system you will need and where the cameras will need to be located.
Once we have established all of the above, we can look at ordering and fitting the system for you as quickly as possible for your business to be protected.
If once the system has been installed, you find you're having problems with the programme or equipment we can dial in and solve the issue immediately for you. However, if you decide that us dialling in, isn't something that will work for you, we can offer a full onsite package to suit your needs.
