Client:National Orchestra Hall

Year:2010

Solution:2 VFDS™ systems with 16 bullet cameras

Situation:Traditional fire and smoke detection devices do not work effectively in the high ceiling above the stage. As well as the need to provide safety for people, the loss of the many precious instruments stored in the Orchestra Hall show room would be devastating for the Symphony Orchestra.

Client:Taiwan Military Oil Tanks

Year:2010

Location:Oil Storage Tank (Taiwan)

Solution:10 VFDS™ systems with 64 bullet cameras
