CCTV Flame Detector - 20/20CTIN (NTSC) & CTIP (PAL)

The SharpEye CCTV Flame Detector (20/20CTIN and 20/20CTIP) is a self-contained, triple-spectrum, optical flame detector that incorporates a video color camera. The detector's IR sensors and spectral band pass filters have been selected to ensure the greatest degree of spectral matching to the radiant energy emissions of fire and the lowest degree of matching to non-fire stimuli.

The color video camera enables the user to investigate the monitored area, to identify the fire's source and location, and help select the best response to the situation (activation of fire suppression means).
Configuration can be made to issue a live color video picture signal at all times, on request or only when a fire is detected. Therefore, the detector is also useful for standard CCTV purposes.

The patented triple IR circuit is designed to respond only to flickering radiation signal (1 to 10 Hz) in the spectral bands ranging from 4.0 to 5.0 microns. The SharpEye CCTV Flame Detector is extremely sensitive. It can detect a 1ft.2 (0.1m2) gasoline pan fire at 100 ft. (30m) in less than 10 seconds. The sensitivity is user-programmable, offering 4 ranges of detection.

The video signal output of the CCTV Flame Detector can be either NTSC or PAL.
