Configuring the Fire and Smoke Detection module🔗

To use the module, enable and configure it.

Launch the Eocortex Configurator, go to the /config/svg/ico-tab-cams.png Cameras tab, select a camera in the list located on the left side of the page, and set up the motion detector on the Motion detector tab on the right side of the page.

Then switch to the Analytics tab and enable the module using the /svg/ico-switch-on.png toggle.

Clicking the /config/svg/ico-settings.png button opens the module setup window.

In the opened settings window, select the needed detection options: Smoke and / or Fire.

Select detection algorithm:

  • Based on motion detector

  • Based on neural networks.

Note

The Based on neural networks algorithm provides higher detection accuracy.

Warning

For the Based on neural networks operating mode, it is required Eocortex Neural Networks; a video card with the parameters matching the module’s requirements is also necessary.

When smoke is detected, it is necessary to select the mode in which it will be detected:

  • Sedentary smoke: a mode for the better smoke detection at a great distance from the camera.

  • Movable smoke: a mode for the better detection of close smoke when the smoke changes rapidly.

Warning

The module will start working only when the settings are applied.
