Konica Minolta Introduces Thermal Video Fire Detection for Uncompromising Safety

In a world where fire risks are ever-present, Konica Minolta delivers advanced thermal video fire detection based on Mobotix technology, ensuring early and reliable protection even under the most demanding operating conditions. Unlike traditional systems, this innovative solution functions without disruption from dust, moisture, or other environmental factors. The Mobotix M73 Thermal camera, certified according to the EN54-10 standard, continuously measures the temperature of every pixel and provides thermal imaging, while the optical (day/night) sensor enables clear real-time visual verification of alarms.

The advantages of this solution include fast and precise detection, robust durability, and a wide temperature range, combined with reduced false alarms and easy integration into existing security systems. Konica Minolta integrates this technology seamlessly into current safety infrastructures and enables remote monitoring via web interface, significantly enhancing the overall level of facility protection and security.

The solution is particularly valuable in recycling plants, warehouses, battery facilities, wood processing sites, and historical buildings — any environment where early fire detection is critical to safeguarding people and protecting property.
