1.0 IntroductiontoFikeVideoAnalytics
FikeVideoAnalyticsissoftwarebasedtechnologythatusesanalyticstocontinuouslymonitorvideo—frame‐by‐frame,
pixel‐by‐pixel ‐‐ to detect anomalies characteristic of smoke, fireandmotion.WiththeFikeVideoAnalyticsvideo
managementsoftwareuserinterface,FikeVideoAnalyticsearlyfireandsmokedetectioncapabilityisunmatchedby
anytraditionalsmokedetectiontechnology.

FikeVideoAnalytics,locatedwithinaTexasInstrumentschiponboardtheFVA‐IPcamera,candetectaflamingfireina
7 by 7 pixel area, aswell asboth ambient and plume like smoke patterns.  The FikeVideo Analytics system is also
capableofdetectingreflectedfirelightoffwallsorobjectssothatafirecanbedetectedeveniftheflamesarenotin
thecamera’slineofsight.

NOTE:ThereflectedfirelightalgorithmisnotanFMapproveddetectionmethod.

Unlikespot‐typesmokedetectorsortemperaturesensors,TheFVA‐IPcameraisavolumesensor,whichobservesand
identifiesthefireconditionwithintheentireobservedspaceoftheCCTVcamera.Thisfundamentaldifferenceresults
infasterfireandsmokedetectionand,mostimportantly,provides a visual picture of the situation to responding
personnel.Intheeventofafireortheproductionofsmoke,theFVA‐IPcamera“sees”theeventandissuesawarning
signal.

EachFikeVideoAnalyticssystemincludes:

 AtleastoneFVA‐IPCamera.
 Thevideomanagementsoftwareuserinterface.
 AVideoManagementSystem.

1.1 FVA‐IPCamera
TheFVA‐IPcameraisacolorcamerawithamicron1/3‐inchCMOSMT9M11Imager,TexasInstrumentsTMS320DM642
chip,DigitalMediaProcessor,128MBRAM,andbatterybackeduprealtimeclock.AllcamerasacceptafixedIrisand
fixedFieldOfView(FOV)CSmountlenssuppliedbythemanufacturerfor2.8mmand8mmFOV.Eachlensallowsfor
focusadjustments.TheFVA‐IPCameraprocessesvideoinreal‐timetransmittingthevideothroughcoaxoranetwork
tothemanagementsystemandtheFikeVideoAnalyticsvideomanagement software.  When an early warning
conditiondoesoccur, theFikeVideoAnalytics createsaneventfileandsendsittothevideomanagementsoftware
operatingonaremotePCworkstationinthesystem.Theon‐dutyoperatororremotemonitoringcenterreceivesan
earlywarningnotificationalongwithlivevideofromthelocation.
