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.
