To configure the Fire detector, do the following:
- Go to the Detectors tab.
- Below the required camera, click Create… → Category: Production Safety → Fire detector.
By default, the detector is enabled and set to detect fire.
If necessary, you can change the detector parameters. The list of parameters is given in the table:
| Parameter | Value | Description |

The default values (5 frames for output and 0,1 FPS) indicate that the tool will analyze frame over 50 seconds span. The detection tool analyzes 1 frame every 10 seconds. If it detects smoke/fire on 5 consecutive fames, the detection tool will trigger an alert.

(see Configuring a detection area):
- Right-click anywhere in the preview window.
- Select If you want to specify the detection area by one or more rectangles, select Detection area (rectangle) to set one or several rectangular areas. If you specify a rectangular area, the detection tool detector will work only within its limitsanalyze only this area. The rest of the FOV will be frame is ignored.Select
- If you want to specify the detection area by one or more polygons, select Detection area (polygon) to set one or several polygonal areas. If you specify one or several polygonal areas, the detection tool detector will process analyze the entire FOV while the remaining frame. The part of the FOV will be frame not included in the specified polygons is blacked out.
Info title NoteYou can configure detection areas similarly to privacy masks in Scene analytics detection tools (see Setting General Zones for Scene analytics detection tools).

must select the detection area (
