Please follow these recommendations for proper fire and smoke detection:

  1. Use color cameras. With black and white cameras, the detection quality can be noticeably worse.
  2. The video resolution must be at least 640x480.

  3. FPS directly affects detection efficiency; in most cases, the default value (1 detection per 10 seconds) is sufficient to detect smoke or fire which develops in more than one minute.

  4. Smoke or fire must be visually separated from the background.

  5. The area of smoke / fire must be at least 10% of the area of the frame.
