Early Fire Detection and Infrared (IR) Camera Systems IR camera systems are the first to alert before a fire develops. They see a warming-up of material early in the fire development process before forming smoke particles or flames. IR cameras operate on the heat transfer principle of radiation.

It consists of various fire detectors that detect smoke and heat at an early stage and transmit them to the fire alarm system control panel. This coordinates the alerting of the fire department, internal warning signals and controls important fire protection devices such as smoke extractors and fire barriers.
