Safety instructions
In this document, the following symbols and notations are used to draw attention to special
situations:
Danger!
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
!
Warning!
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
!
Caution!
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Notice!
Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the equipment or
environment, or data loss.
General Safety Messages / Notices
!
Warning!
Do not moisten the electronic appliances inside of the lens.
It may cause fire or electric shock. In this case, shut off the power supplied to the lens
immediately.
!
Caution!
Do not leave or store the lens under direct sunshine.
The lens may focus rays of light on a near-by object and cause fire.
!
Caution!
In case of unusual behavior, smoke, noise or smell coming out of the lens, shut off the power
immediately and pull out the lens cable.
Notify the installer or sales agent from which you purchased the product.
Notice!
Avoid obstructions in the field of view!
Covered fires cannot be detected correctly. An unobstructed view of the detection area is
necessary.
Notice!
Activating video-based fire detection sets camera settings to a specific preset.
This preset affects several camera settings as long as this mode is activated.

Notice!
No detection of moving fire.
Moving fires will not be detected by the video-based fire detection.
Notice!
Indoor use only.
This product is designed for indoor use only. Outdoor use is not allowed.
Notice!
No direct connection to fire services in EN54 compliant installations.
Authorities can allow a connection to fire services after verifying alarms in a monitoring
center.
Notice!
Minimum Illumination required.
To ensure the proper functioning of the video-based fire detection algorithm, a minimal
illumination of 7 lx is required.
Notice!
No existing standards.
There are no existing EN standards concerning the video-based fire detection.
Notice!
Calm wind conditions only.
Strong air currents can cause false alarms by raising dust or debris similar in appearance to
fire and smoke.
Notice!
Respect data protection.
The relevant data protection and privacy rules are to be complied with.
Notice!
Avoid backlight.
Backlight can disturb the video-based fire detection algorithm.
Notice!
Optimized smoke detection.
The video-based fire detection algorithm is optimized for smoke of smoldering fires.
Notice!
Qualified personnel only.
Assembly and installation must only be performed by qualified personnel.

Notice!
Reduced detection distances at image margin area.
Due to optical distorsion of the lens, the maximum detection distances at the image margin
area are reduced.
Notice!
Avoid image regions with continuous upward motion.
Continuous upward motion might lead to false alarms.
Notice!
Make sure the camera is firmly mounted.
Camera shake might lead to false alarms. Avoid vibrations of the camera and the camera
environment.

Introduction
Disclaimer
Video Fire indication systems are video content analysis systems. They give indications for
fires and are designed to supplement fire detection systems and human guards in
monitoring centers.
Video Fire indication systems are confronted with a higher amount of challenges
considering scenery and background compared to conventional fire detection systems. It
cannot be granted that fire is detected in all scenery settings. Thus the video fire detection
system shall be seen as a system that enhances the probability of early fire detection, with
the restriction that it might detects false alarm. It shall not be seen as a system that
ensures fire detection in all possible image scenarios.
About this manual
This manual has been compiled with great care and the information it contains has been
thoroughly verified. The text was correct at the time of printing, however, the content can
change without notice. Bosch Security Systems accepts no liability for damage resulting
directly or indirectly from faults, incompleteness or discrepancies between this manual and

All hardware and software product names used in this document are likely to be registered
trademarks and must be treated accordingly.
The operation manual provides an overview of possibilities and fields of application of the
video-based fire detection. It should be a guideline for customer-specific application planning.
Conventions in this manual
Terms concerning the adjustment of the smoke and flame algorithm, such as menu options,
commands or text in the user interface, are written in bold.
Definition of optical terms
The reflected light coming from the field of view arrives at the camera lens. The image sensor
of the camera transforms the light into electric signals. This electrical image is the basis for
further data processing. This chapter contains basic descriptions of optical terms.
Illumination
Illumination is an important influencing factor for sensible optical systems. Natural light shows
the huge range of illumination values from direct sunlight (~100.000 lx) to full moon on a clear
night (~1.0 lx). A luxmeter can be used to measure the light levels.
The following table provides an overview of typical illumination values in different application
areas:

In general a well illuminated monitoring area is advantageous for the video-based fire
detection. Backlight should be avoided.
Focal length
The focal length of an optical system defines the distance between a light refracting lense and
the focal point. Field of view, maximum distance and field angle are dependant as shown in
the graphic below.
4.1
6.5
9
The maximum width of the field of view may be realized by the minimum focal length. This
adversely affects the maximum distance to a detectable fire.
The maximum distance to a detectable fire may be reached by adjusting the largest focal
length which decreases the width of the field of view to the minimum.

Monitoring Area
The monitoring area defines the effective space that can be observed by the video-based fire
detection. It is depending on the setting of the camera lens.
