| New system for fire detection and visual assessment Detector Electronics announced xWatch, a video surveillance system that provides high-resolution monitoring from within Det-Tronics X-Series flame detectors. xWatch also can operate as a stand-alone device to monitor hazardous areas typical to petroleum and chemical manufacturing. The xWatch monitoring system, combined with a Det-Tronics' flame detector, is suitable for remote or hard-to-access areas. Both devices view the same 90º cone of vision. Continuous, real-time video provides the operator with surveillance capabilities during normal operation. If a fire is detected, the operator has the knowledge for accurately assessing the risk and location of the fire in the monitored area to initiate the appropriate response. xWatch is an economical and effective video imaging solution. It can be retrofitted into an existing C7050 Detector by replacing the tube module with the camera module, reducing installation costs. Users can add a video switcher or server for a live video feed and view the output on a DVR or computer monitor. Video recording equipment provides the ability to review all activity before, during, and after the event occurs. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
