The requirements for cameras that will work with the Smoke detection module are shown in the following table.

Camera

  • Resolution should be at least 640x480 pixels
  • Number of frames: the response rate of the detection module depends on the number of frames per second, by default, it is 1 per every 10 seconds (in most cases, it is enough to detect a smoke that lasts more than 1 minute)
  • It is recommended to use color cameras. With black and white cameras, the recognition quality may be much worse

Object images

  • The area of smoke should be at least 10% of the frame area
Lighting requirements
  • Objects should be visually separated from the background and from each other.

The hardware and software requirements are shown in the following table.
