What it is.
Disaster Prevention is a smart monitoring system that detects heat and fire risks before they become dangerous.
It uses thermal cameras to measure temperature and find hotspots that could lead to fire. The system can monitor machines, storage areas, production lines, or battery rooms.
This allows companies to act early and prevent accidents.
Why is it important?
Fires and overheating can cause serious damage to people, property, and the environment. In many cases, traditional systems only react when smoke or flames already appear.
Thermal cameras can detect heat changes much earlier, before a fire starts. This gives teams more time to react and prevent damage.
This is especially important in places with flammable materials, heavy machinery, or batteries.
How it works
The system uses thermal cameras to continuously measure temperature across the monitored area.
If the temperature rises above a set limit, the system sends an alert or triggers an action.
Possible actions include:
- Sending an email or system alert
- Showing a warning on a monitoring screen
- Playing a warning message on site
- Shutting down a machine
- Activating a sprinkler or fire system
This helps stop problems before they become serious.

Could you spot the fire on the left?
Fire prevention
Fire Prevention uses thermal cameras and AI to detect hotspots and heat build-up before a fire starts. Instead of waiting for smoke or flames, the system identifies risks early and sends real-time alerts so action can be taken immediately.
Machine Overheating Prevention
This solution monitors machine temperature and detects overheating parts before they fail or cause a fire. The system can track multiple areas at once and send alerts when temperatures exceed safe levels.
Battery Overheating Prevention
Battery systems can overheat during charging or operation, which can lead to fire, gas release, or damage. This solution monitors battery temperature and detects early signs of overheating before it becomes dangerous.
Early heat detection for fast intervention and reduced risk of injury, damage and financial losses through fire or overheating
Simultaneous measurement of up to 20 separate zones from a distance of up to 72m (this is the CNPP-certified distance; conditions vary among different focal lengths and certification types)
