Flame Recognition & Thermal Imaging Cameras – Industrial Safety Monitoring

Flame Recognition Alarm Cameras

Flame Recognition IP Cameras are specialized wired security cameras designed for early fire detection in industrial and high-risk environments. Using intelligent video analytics, these cameras can identify open flames in real time and trigger instant alarms—often faster than traditional smoke detectors. With PoE connectivity for stable 24/7 operation, high-resolution imaging, and integration with alarm systems, flame detection cameras are ideal for factories, warehouses, gas stations, chemical plants, and energy facilities. They enhance fire prevention strategies by providing visual verification and rapid response to potential hazards. Used in:
