In some high-temperature industrial environments, for example, ordinary sensors might sometimes produce false alarms. By contrast, CCTV may be better able to distinguish the early signs of fire as a result of changes in light conditions, thermal sensing and the ability to detect flames.

 

A reduction in false alarms will minimise unnecessary disruption to routine operations, while faster detection of genuine fires will facilitate a quicker response and, consequently, a reduced risk of loss and damage.
