Fire Watch Detection System
    Early Fire Detection

    Detect Fires In Minutes Not Hours. Save Lives & Property.

    While traditional fire detection waits for smoke, our thermal cameras see heat build-up hours before flames appear. This isn't just early warning, it's fire prevention that saves lives, protects assets, and keeps your business running.

    Comprehensive Fire Prevention & Business Protection

    Last year, a recycling facility in Burnaby lost $2.3 million when a smoldering pile of electronics caught fire overnight. Our thermal cameras would have detected the heat build-up 6 hours earlier, when the fire could have been stopped with a garden hose. That's the difference between a minor incident and a catastrophic loss. Our Early Fire Detection service protects construction sites, warehouses, and self-storage facilities across Canada, giving you that crucial window of opportunity through live video monitoring and AI detection.

    How We Deliver Business Protection

    Here's how our thermal detection system works in real-world scenarios, based on thousands of installations across Canada.

    1

    Detect Fires Before They Start

    Our thermal cameras detect temperature changes as small as 0.1°C, spotting hot spots before they become dangerous. At a Vancouver site, we detected a faulty panel heating to 85°C, saving them from a $500K loss.

    Faster Response, Lower Losses

    When our thermal cameras detect a temperature spike, our monitoring centre receives an instant alert. Operators verify the threat and contact your personnel within 30 seconds. At a Calgary warehouse, this rapid response saved $1.2M in inventory.

    Continuous 24/7 Protection

    Unlike smoke detectors that fail in dusty environments, our thermal cameras work 24/7 in any condition. At a Toronto facility, we detected a smoldering pile at 3 AM when traditional detectors were blinded by dust.

    Reduced Insurance Costs & Liability

    A Vancouver manufacturer reduced their fire insurance premiums by 40% after installing our thermal detection system. Their insurer rewarded them with better coverage at lower rates. The system paid for itself in 18 months.

    Business Benefits That Protect Your Bottom Line

    Here's what our clients say makes the biggest difference to their operations and bottom line.

    Detect Fires Before They Start

    Our thermal cameras spotted a bearing failure on a conveyor belt motor before it could spark a fire. The maintenance team replaced the bearing during scheduled downtime instead of dealing with an emergency shutdown. "That one detection saved us $50K in lost production," the plant manager told us.

    Faster Response, Lower Losses

    At a Winnipeg distribution center, our system detected a forklift battery overheating at 2 AM. The night supervisor was notified immediately and disconnected the battery before it could ignite. Traditional smoke detectors wouldn't have triggered until flames appeared, by then, the entire loading dock could have been lost.

    Continuous 24/7 Protection

    A Halifax shipyard uses our thermal cameras to monitor welding operations 24/7. During a night shift, the cameras detected a welding torch left on a wooden scaffold. The monitoring centre immediately contacted the foreman, who shut off the torch before it could ignite the wood. "Without those cameras, we'd have lost the entire dry dock," the safety manager said.

    Reduced Insurance Costs & Liability

    An Edmonton chemical plant's insurance company reduced their premiums by $180K annually after installing our thermal detection system. The insurer recognized the proactive approach and offered better coverage terms. "The system paid for itself in the first year through insurance savings alone," the CFO told us.
