FLIR thermal imaging cameras go a step further by providing an early warning response to hot spots that are detected. This is important for all types of warehouses but in particular for those that contain contents that are prone to spontaneous combustion, or highly flammable.
Having introduced ultimate solutions that help in preventing fire incidents and disasters, in this section, WESAM offers solutions to identify “at an early stage” fire incident by using state-of-the-art automated thermal monitoring system (FLIR A310-series made in the USA) and trigger the necessary alarms and send necessary alerts to personal for immediate intervention before the actual fire takes place.
Depending on the previously set temperature alarm, a thermal imaging camera will detect fire in either the incipient or the smoldering stage. A smoke detector relies on smoke production to detect the developing fire, so it will only detect the fire at the end of the smoldering stage or at the beginning of the flame stage. CCTV cameras rely on color contrast, so it will only detect the fire in the flame or fire stage, depending on lighting conditions.

The use of the FLIR A310 thermal imaging camera is not restricted to warehouses, it can also be used for outdoor applications, such as this coal pile. The thermal image clearly identifies a fire that is about to erupt in the coal pile.
