High-Resolution Thermal Monitoring Camera

The SAFETIS EV is a thermal fire safety sensor designed for real-time, high-resolution temperature monitoring and early fire hazard detection in industrial, security, warehousing, energy, and building automation environments. Using a dense array of 19,200 active temperature sensors scanning up to 9 times per second, it continuously monitors surface temperatures across its field of view, detecting abnormal heat patterns and triggering configurable alarm outputs before incidents escalate to fire.

The SAFETIS EV uses 19,200 active temperature sensors arranged in a dense array that simultaneously and continuously measures the temperature at 19,200 points across the monitored field of view. This sensor density provides comprehensive area coverage without mechanical scanning or moving parts, enabling reliable detection of localised hotspots at any position within the monitored zone — including small-area anomalies that a coarser sensor grid would miss between measurement points.

No. The SAFETIS EV has a built-in SMART evaluation system that performs all temperature data processing and alarm threshold evaluation directly on the device, without requiring an external computer, server, or processing unit. All ROI thresholds are evaluated at every scan cycle by the onboard processor, and alarm outputs are triggered directly from the onboard evaluation. This standalone architecture maintains full alarm function even if network connectivity is lost or external systems are unavailable.

Yes. The SAFETIS EV supports Modbus RTU via RS485 and Ethernet for seamless integration with PLCs, fire alarm control panels, building management systems, and industrial automation platforms. The Modbus interface exposes zone temperatures, alarm states, and device status as standard Modbus registers readable by any Modbus-compatible control system. Ethernet connectivity additionally enables remote monitoring and configuration via the built-in webserver and desktop software from any networked workstation. Digital and relay outputs provide direct hardwired connections to fire alarm panels, suppression system triggers, and annunciator panels without requiring network connectivity for alarm delivery.

United Spectrum Instruments is the official distributor of SAFETIS EV in India and provides end-to-end support including application consultation and ROI layout design for the specific facility, system configuration and alarm threshold setup, installation guidance and commissioning, Modbus and relay output integration with fire alarm panels and building management systems, operator and safety personnel training, and responsive after-sales technical support. United Spectrum Instruments ensures smooth deployment and long-term performance of the SAFETIS EV in fire detection, safety monitoring, and industrial automation applications across India.

Both the SAFETIS EV and SAFETIS EV-C share the same core thermal sensing technology — 19,200 active temperature sensors, up to 9 scans per second, approximately 0.1°C sensitivity, dual-threshold ROI alarms, onboard SMART evaluation, and Modbus RTU RS485 + Ethernet connectivity. The SAFETIS EV is positioned as the high-resolution monitoring platform with a configuration-dependent temperature range (typically up to approximately 400°C) suited to a broader range of monitoring and fire detection applications including high-temperature industrial processes, energy infrastructure, and security surveillance. The SAFETIS EV-C specifies a defined range of −10°C to 400°C including the lower negative temperature limit, making it explicitly suited for cold storage monitoring, outdoor deployments in cold climates, and applications where the monitored environment may fall below ambient. The housing descriptions also differ slightly: the EV-C specifies a rugged aluminium body; the EV specifies a compact rugged industrial design. United Spectrum Instruments advises on the appropriate model for each customer’s specific application environment and temperature monitoring requirements during pre-sales consultation.

The SAFETIS EV’s temperature range specification of ‘typically up to approximately 400°C (configuration dependent)’ means the effective upper measurement range can be adjusted through configuration to match different application scenarios. Higher upper temperature ranges allow monitoring of very high-temperature targets (industrial furnaces, kilns, molten metal operations) while trading off sensitivity at lower temperatures; lower configured ranges maximise sensitivity and measurement resolution for ambient-temperature monitoring applications where fine temperature discrimination is the priority. The appropriate temperature range configuration for each installation is established during commissioning based on the maximum temperature expected in the monitored area and the required alarm threshold resolution. United Spectrum Instruments advises on the correct range configuration for each application during the system design phase.

Yes. EV charging stations and battery energy storage systems (BESS) present specific fire risks from lithium-ion battery thermal runaway — a rapid, self-sustaining exothermic reaction that is preceded by localised cell heating that the SAFETIS EV’s 19,200-sensor array and 0.1°C sensitivity can detect before thermal runaway occurs. The SAFETIS EV’s continuous scanning at up to 9 scans per second enables real-time temperature monitoring of individual battery modules and cell clusters, with ROIs configured for each module bay or rack. The dual-threshold alarm system provides a warning output at the threshold associated with battery temperature elevation (prompting operator investigation and charging system shutdown) and a critical output at the threshold associated with imminent thermal runaway risk (triggering automated suppression system activation). This application is directly relevant to India’s rapidly expanding EV charging infrastructure and grid-scale battery storage deployment.

The SAFETIS EV’s effectiveness for large warehouse volumes depends on the sensor’s field of view at the mounting height and distance from the monitored storage areas. The sensor’s 19,200-pixel array provides high spatial resolution within its field of view, enabling reliable detection of localised hotspots in storage racks. However, a single sensor installation covers one field of view at one mounting position — very large warehouses with multiple independent storage areas typically require multiple SAFETIS EV units, each covering its assigned zone. United Spectrum Instruments evaluates the warehouse layout and storage rack configuration during system design to determine the number and positions of sensors required for complete coverage, with ROIs configured for each storage bay or aisle within each sensor’s field of view.

The SAFETIS EV integrates with building management systems via its Modbus RTU interface (available over both RS485 and Ethernet), which is compatible with all major BMS platforms that support Modbus including Honeywell, Siemens, Johnson Controls, Schneider, and others. The BMS Modbus driver polls the SAFETIS EV’s Modbus registers at a configured interval, reading current zone temperatures, alarm states (warning and critical per ROI), and device health status. This data is presented in the BMS alongside HVAC, access control, lighting, and other building system data — enabling the facilities management team to monitor thermal fire safety status from the same BMS console used for all other building systems. Alarm events from the SAFETIS EV can trigger BMS-managed responses such as HVAC shutdown (to prevent fire spread through ductwork), access control lockdown, and facility-wide alert notification through the BMS.

The SAFETIS EV’s alarm outputs continue to function normally regardless of network connection status. Because all alarm evaluation is performed by the onboard SMART evaluation system rather than a connected external server, the digital and relay alarm outputs are triggered directly by the onboard processor whenever a monitored ROI exceeds its configured threshold — with no dependency on the Modbus network connection, the Ethernet link, or any external system being available. Network connectivity affects only the Modbus register data available to connected PLCs and BMS systems and the remote webserver access — the hardwired digital and relay outputs that connect directly to fire alarm panels and suppression systems remain fully operational through any network interruption.

Yes. The built-in Ethernet webserver enables remote configuration, real-time thermal image viewing, ROI management, alarm threshold adjustment, and alarm event log review from any web browser on the facility network — without requiring desktop software installation on the remote access workstation. The desktop software application provides more advanced configuration and analysis capabilities for initial system setup. Modbus TCP over Ethernet enables remote reading of all zone temperatures and alarm states by connected SCADA or BMS systems. For facilities with multiple SAFETIS EV units across large sites, centralised remote monitoring via the webserver or SCADA Modbus integration enables a single security or safety monitoring centre to oversee all units without dispatching personnel to each sensor location
