D-Tec is acknowledged as the pioneer and world leader in the innovation of CCTV Smoke Detection and D-Tec’s products are specified by name worldwide.

D-Tec’s CCTV Smoke Detection has been developed to overcome many of the problems associated with smoke detection. It provides solutions for previously unsolvable fire detection scenarios, working externally as well as internally and represents a true technological breakthrough in fire prevention.

CCTV Smoke Detection is based on the computer analysis of video images provided by standard CCTV cameras. D-Tec’s CCTV Smoke Detection automatically identifies the particular motion pattern of smoke and alerts the system operator to its presence in the shortest time possible. This enables a fast response to a potential fire, saving valuable time even in voluminous areas or where a high airflow may be present.

In situations ranging from turbine halls to historic buildings, road tunnels, rail depots, warehouses, shopping malls, aircraft hangars and many others, D-Tec’s camera-based fire detection system has become established as the front line in the field of fire protection.
