MOBOTIX VdS Thermal Technology for Optimal Protection of People, Facilities and Goods
Trust the MOBOTIX premium fire protection solution! The MOBOTIX M16 VdS thermal camera is intended for use in environments with an increased risk of fire. The solution offered by the camera and additional components is certified by VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH, Europe's largest institute for corporate security, with the approval number G 222015.
Strong advantages - best reliability!
Approved by fire protection institution VdS
Early fire detection for fast intervention
Forwards events to the control center
Automatically triggers an alarm
Cost-effective fire protection solution
Energy-efficient system (PoE/8 W)
MOBOTIX cameras are robust and weather-resistant
Easy installation and system integration
Efficient fire protection
MOBOTIX thermal cameras detect fire sources reliably and early. Often even before a fire starts, and even from a distance of up to 60 meters. This means that the spread of fire can be effectively fought or, at best, prevented.
Thermal TR technology impresses with its fast, low-cost installation. It is much simpler than with linear heat detectors, for example. In addition, the system can react more quickly. Heat is detected before it even reaches the ceiling. Unlike aspirating smoke detectors, the
MOBOTIX M16 TR is not dependent on the development of smoke.
Monitoring of Outside Areas and Warehouses
- Large, cluttered areas
- Material buildup and bulk goods, e.g. waste in waste management or grain in food processing
- Warehouses with chemicals, wood or paper
- Hard-to-reach areas
Reliable Monitoring of Indoor Areas
- Large rooms and buildings (e.g. halls, high ceilings)
- Warehouses with highly flammable goods
- Inaccessible and unclear areas (dust, fog, darkness)
- Locations open to the public (e.g. schools, airports, public buildings, workplaces)
Monitoring of "Power-Sensitive Areas"
- Triggers an alert if production facilities overheat
- Monitoring of server rooms
- Monitoring of charging stations (electric vehicles and charging stations)
Versatile and Flexible — Applications Beyond Fire Protection
Thermal cameras are ideally suited for monitoring sensitive areas (perimeter protection) day and night, while respecting privacy (data protection). Intruders can be detected and an alarm can be triggered without having to recognize the individuals' faces.
Sophisticated System for Outstanding Protection
Overvoltage Protection, Power Supply and Connection to the Control Center
MOBOTIX thermal radiometry (TR) cameras feature a calibrated thermal image sensor. The cameras measure thermal radiation across the entire image area and trigger an event if thresholds are exceeded (camera alarm, network message, etc.). The system architecture for the VdS-approved solution consists of the M16 camera and three interface boxes and is equipped with special software as standard.
It is also possible to upgrade a MOBOTIX M16 TR thermal camera that is already in use to the VdS level by updating the corresponding software and integrating the interface boxes mentioned above.
System Features and Architecture
- Detected temperature measurement range between 50°C and 200°C.
- Temperature-related events are triggered when the threshold is exceeded in one pixel
- The system must be operated with an approved power supply in accordance with DIN EN 54-4
- Three image angle and range variants:
- 45° x 32°, measuring distance up to 40 m
- 25° x 19°, measuring distance up to 50 m
- 17° x 13°, measuring distance up to 60 m
- Integrated microphone and speaker
- PoE thermal camera with a maximum power consumption of just 8 W
Effective Thermal TR Tool
Two examples of the impressive thermal technology:
In an empty ship with an area of 2,500 m, the burning of a small 20 x 20 cm piece of cardboard was enough to trigger an alarm immediately. An industrial company used MOBOTIX Thermal TR technology for fire protection in the production process and increased productivity by 5% at the same time!
