Video Flame Detection.
Video flame detection (VFD) uses cameras and AI-driven image analysis to identify flames visually — instead of waiting for smoke, heat, or gas to physically reach a sensor.
Algorithms recognise the flicker frequency and orange/yellow spectrum unique to real flame
Purpose-built optical sensors (not general cameras) for hazardous/Ex-rated zones (e.g. Micropack, Det-Tronics, General Monitors)
Faster, more reliable detection where traditional sensors struggle.

Visible + infrared combinations cut false alarms from reflections, lighting, or welding sparks
Detects before smoke has dispersed enough to reach a point detector
Flame identified in seconds — far faster than smoke migration to a point detector
Multi-spectrum analysis filters out reflections, lighting, and welding sparks
