Bosch Aviotec 7.70: detección de incendios con iluminación IR en entornos de 0 lux

The new firmware version of this video fire detection solution allows system deployments in environments without lighting.

The development of Aviotec 7.70 represents a significant advance by Bosch in video fire detection in completely dark environments. This new version is also available for applications with infrared lighting and 0 visible light lux.

The Aviotec camera technology now offers flame and smoke detection in locations without light. Thanks to the additional infrared lighting and video analytics of version 7.70, it is possible to monitor scenes with zero lighting for fire detection via video with clear images.

Before the new version 7.70, now available for download from the manufacturer's website, this solution could only be applied in spaces with a certain level of lighting, at least, 2 lux, so that the surveillance camera could operate in color mode.

With this firmware update, the camera can operate in black and white mode, while maintaining fire detection functionality, so that infrared illuminators can be used to view the area and monitor the situation even in complete darkness.

Since traditional lighting is not needed for camera operation, energy costs are significantly reduced, especially in continuous operation environments 24/7.

Besides, otra de sus ventajas es que incluso cuando falle la iluminación tradicional y haya condiciones de luz muy escasas, por ejemplo en un túnel o en sótanos, el cliente puede conservar la funcionalidad de detección de incendio y de control del espacio.

Otro elemento no menos importantes es que si una instalación tiene menos luces encendidas se reducen los riegos de incendio por fallos en el funcionamiento o recalentamiento de las luminarias.
