AVIOTEC Fire Detection (on AVIOTEC e-server)

AVIOTEC e-server is a small on-premise edge server (ctrlX CORE X3) enabling a camera flexible video fire detection. The solution is operated and configured within the AVIOTEC Fire Detection App.

As we continue to explore advancements in technology and listen to our customers’ evolving requirements, the edge-server solution offers greater adaptability.

It integrates seamlessly with existing camera networks and later with next releases into video management systems and remote access.

The solution provides a smooth integration of a fire detection into the customers´ security environment allowing a parallel use to the content analysis functions of the cameras.

Key markets for AVIOTEC, such as production and logistics, public buildings, and transportation can benefit from even more targeted solutions. Why? Our solution also offers flexibility in camera selection, allowing users to choose from a variety of ONVIF-compliant Bosch-tested IP cameras for specific use case requirements.

Unmatched detection performance by deep learning algorithms deliver high fire detection accuracy and robustness. The edge-server solution combines rapid edge processing with robust edge-server support on a flexible, high-performance, future-proof platform.
