Warehouse fire safety moves to CCTV systems
In today's large scale warehouse environments, an essential requirement is the ability to identify that there is a fire at the earliest possible stage, enabling swift action to bring it under control
Said Ian Moore, Managing Director, D-Tec: "We are extremely pleased with the results of the IMS study, underlining as it does our status as the world's leading provider of Video Smoke Detection (VSD) solutions.
This is a position we are confident of maintaining with the introduction our IP-based FireVu system with all the potential this offers for remote, off-site, monitoring and more recently the integration of our VSD technology directly into CCTV cameras.
"We have always had a strong export focus and, working with our partners in key markets, have now reached a position where more than 80% of our business is outside the D-Tec home market in the UK".
Prestigious projects which are now protected by the D-Tec FM (Factory Mutual) approved VSD include the massive 600 metre wide Royal Airwing Hangar complex at the Dubai International Airport - the world's largest privately-owned aircraft hangar - and the Sydney Harbour Tunnel (SHT) where VSD has been retrofitted to CCTV cameras to protect the 90,000 vehicles which transit the tunnel every day.
James McManus, Research Analyst at IMS Research commented: "D-Tec has an impressive installed base for video based smoke detection and has proved that it is a real alternative to traditional fire detection technologies in a wide range of applications".
