About Smoke Detective

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.

Our Goals

  • Dramatically Increase the number of working smoke detectors by enabling existing video cameras and other camera enabled smart devices to monitor for smoke
  • Make current monitoring systems more efficient and accurate. A human watching a single video monitor for more than twenty minutes loses 95% of their ability to maintain the needed attention to discern significant events such as the presence of smoke. Many facilities have dozens or even hundreds of cameras; we believe Smoke Detective can help make your existing security protocol more efficient and effective.
  • Reduce the trauma caused by fires, once finalized Smoke Detective plans to give the basic Smartphone app away for free, dramatically increasing the number of smoke detectors and as a result, reducing fire losses.

Statistics

While the frequency of commercial fires has decreased slightly over the last few decades, the actual cost of fire-related property damage has skyrocketed. It’s estimated that fires in commercial properties cost owners over 2.4 billion dollars per year. Shockingly, 52% of the larger fires occurred in a building that did not have smoke detectors present or functioning.

Essential Fire Statistics for Business Owners

During 2014–2018, local fire departments responded to an estimated average of 24,300 home fires per year in which smoke alarms should have operated but failed to do so. These fires caused an average of 410 deaths and 1,310 injuries annually.

National Fire Protection Association

Smoke Alarms in US Home Fires

The data available for 2017 indicates that nearly 100 people died in business fires for that year and well over a thousand were injured. The fatalities stretch from offices, warehouses, industrial and manufacturing plants and beyond, so it’s vital to establish and practice fire safety and evacuation drills no matter what type of business you run.
