Abstract:
With the fast advancement of technology in the area of the CCTV’s, different applications for the said technology is being developed right now. Aside from the fact that there is a law that dictates that all businesses in the Philippines are required to install and maintain CCTV’s if they fall on at least one of three categories, people use CCTV’s to monitor their properties even remotely. One relatively new application for the CCTV is fire detection. Current fire detectors are prone to errors because smoke detectors can be set off even with the smoke from a cigarette and other types of smoke that isn’t produced by fire. This system makes use of computer vision in analyzing the video inputs from the CCTV camera.
