GKB's Video Fire Detection System (VFDS™) is a solution which utilizes VID (Video Image Detection) technology to detect flame and smoke, both during the daytime and at night. VFDS™ consists of video-based analytical algorithms that allow integration between analog cameras and advanced servers to create a complete flame and smoke detection system. VFDS™ is able to cover large areas, with immediate visual verification capability. The system provides an answer to the inadequacies inherent in conventional flame and smoke detection, such as: slow detection times; an inability to conduct immediate and remote verification; the need for regular inspection and maintenance; and an intensive, costly initial installation. It is easy to install and configure, providing hassle-free convenience to system integrators.

Competitive Advantage:

• Protection for a larger area with faster detection

VFDS™ is able to achieve much faster early stage detection in large areas than conventional flame and smoke detection devices. It provides practical protection for large facilities, especially ones with excessive ceiling heights, which suffer from very slow detection times when conventional devices are installed.

• Field of view detection

VFDS™ has no limits to the distance and range of its detection capabilities as long as it is within the camera's field of view. It provides a practical protection solution for a wide range of outdoor facilities, as the physical migration of flame or smoke to detectors is not necessary for detection.

• Immediate visual verification with live video

VFDS™ provides real-time visual verification to determine if an alarm is real, and its level of seriousness. All still and video images are also recorded for future assessment so as to help with an investigation into the cause of fire, as well as aiding improvements in detection
