SigniFire™ Applications
 Warehouses
Warehouses, big box stores, and distribution
centers have implemented video image detection to monitor day to
day operations, provide security, reduce shrinkage and theft,
deter arson, and detect fire and smoke during the incipient
stages. These facilities are ideal for VID because of the large
volume and high amount of assets per square foot. Cameras are
generally placed looking over loading and unloading docks,
packing areas, battery and forklift maintenance areas, high
hazard areas such as aerosol rooms, and over the tops and down
aisle ways.

Energy
Coal, hydro, and nuclear plants benefit from
implementing VID through early detection and situational
awareness. Most fires in power plants originate at the lube oil
system on large rotating turbines and generators. Early
detection and video verification will limit loss of assets as
well as avoid a plant shutdown. Cameras have been installed in
turbine halls, battery rooms, tripper rooms, over nuclear fuel
rod pools, and compressor stations.

Marine
Ship applications consist of generator rooms,
propulsion rooms, turbine rooms, pump rooms and other general
machinery spaces. VID systems have been tested by the US and
Royal Navy’s and is implemented on large ships using networked
system to provide command and control with video and alarm
information.

 Manufacturing/Industry
Plant fires spread quickly when combustible
material is readily available. VID has been installed in areas
where expensive machinery that is vital to day to day operations
is located and to cover entire facilities that due to the
operation and environment could not be covered by conventional
methods.

Education
In schools and universities arson is the single
greatest cause of fires; water damage from sprinklers does the
rest. With the growing implementation of cameras and mass
notification in educational institutes, VID provides intrusion
detection and situational awareness in addition to smoke and
fire on one system. Large corridors or open entry ways, arenas,
gymnasiums, auditoriums as well as labs and libraries are
suitable for VID.

Airplane Hangars
The cost of an airplane hangar is minimal
compared to the loss of the potential aircraft inside which may
add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, plus loss of revenue
due to disruption of service. VID provides early detection and
the opportunity for early suppression or nuisance rejection
before an expensive AFFF dump.

Transportation
In
addition to airport and marine installations mentioned above
tunnels, subway and train stations benefit from the early
detection and video features supplied by VID systems.

Cultural Property
Priceless, irreplaceable
contents are easily damaged by smoke. Cameras are widely used
throughout these properties and many have high ceilings that
reduce the effectiveness of conventional detectors. In addition,
motion zones can be placed around door and artifacts to provide
an added layer of security.
