1.3 ScalableSystemArchitecture
A Fike Video Analytics system is comprised of at least one FVA‐IP camera, a video management system, and the
monitoring solution. You can connect any number of FVA‐IP cameras and network recorders via standard LAN /
Ethernetnetworktoexpandthesystemtomeetenduserneeds(limitof32cameraspernetworkrecorder).FVA‐IP
cameras can be powered by a FM approved fire alarm control panel(FACP),anapprovedsecurityandfirecamera
power supply with battery backup, or as a supplemental means a Power‐Over‐Ethernet (POE) switch with battery
backup.WiththeFikeVideoAnalyticsvideomanagementsoftware,anyapprovedPCworkstationcanbeusedasa

softwaremonitoringstationsthatmakesFikeVideoAnalyticssystemsscalabletoanysizeapplication.

Obstructions
The FVA‐IP camera relies on “seeing” smoke and flames. The presence of intervening structural members and/or
intermittent opaque objects or materials in front of the cameras can compromise its ability to respond to the fire.
Obstructions in the cameras FOV are acceptable, as long as the obstructions do not compromise the ability of the
systemtodetectthedesiredfiresizeandtypeintheallottedresponsetime.Mountcamerastoensureobjectsthat

2.3 DetectionRange
After proper camera positioning, detection range is the second most important consideration. The most sensitive
detectionalgorithmtodistanceisflamedetection,becauseitreliesondirectflameimagepatternanalysis.Todetecta
flame, the pattern must be at least 7 by 7 pixels in size. Youcanperformcalculationstodeterminearelationship
between the distance and lens angle to the fire size at detection. The range of potential smoke sources and their
correspondingopticaldensitiesmakesitdifficultto theoretically estimate theexactdistanceat whichathresholdof

2.4 EnvironmentalConsiderations
TomaximizethefiredetectionpotentialoftheFikeVideoAnalyticssystem,thecameralensesshouldbeproperlyset
upto ensuresharpimages.UsingaportableTVwiththeBNCconnectionattachedtothebackoftheIPcamerawill
allow localized adjustment to optimize the image focus. Lenses should be clean and free of scratches. Camera
positioningshouldconsiderlight saturationandconsistency,mountingintegrity,humidity, airborneparticulates,and
otherpotentiallydamagingambientconditions.Brightlightsourcesshouldbelocatedbehindthecameras.
The area to be protected should be uniformly illuminated; fluctuations caused by natural light should be limited.
Camerasshouldbesecurelymountedtopreventvibration,swinging,andothercameramotion.Excesshumiditymay
causefoggingofthelensesthatmaytriggerthesystem.
