Digital processing in real time, using common place, camera enabled, processors to determine when visible smoke is present at the scene. Faster than most household smoke detectors, on average.
Our algorithms extract information from still pictures and video data
The algorithm makes an informed decision based on the extracted features
Once smoke has been detected and confirmed, the app will sound an alarm and send a mobile notification
Smoke Detective has developed and patented a soon-to-be industry standard technological platform that will turn any camera-enabled smart device into a smoke detector without the need for calibration or additional hardware. Our software is a visual based smoke detection system designed to work on the device, in the cloud, or at the central station.
We would like to thank all of the organizations that have helped us. We would not be here without them.
