Fire Shield Systems offers a state-of-the-art, thermal detection system designed to ensure that heat spots and rises in temperature are constantly monitored. We take a proactive approach to mitigating the risk of fire.
Fires can cause significant damage to any business. Constant temperature monitoring, coupled with the right suppression is key to properly protect your assets and avoid disruption to your business.
Our thermal imaging fire detection cameras detect hot spots and temperature rises before they ignite, giving you the opportunity to manage fire risk proactively rather than reactively, reducing your overall risk.

Are thermal imaging cameras right for me?
Although they’re used for a wide range of applications, thermal fire detector cameras are increasingly used in:
- Waste and recycling plants
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Wood processing plants
- Biomass and waste to energy facilities
If you’re working with combustible materials or your processes create a lot of dust, thermal cameras will give you the early warning you need to help mitigate the risk of fire.
How do thermal imaging systems work?
All objects emit thermal radiation which is invisible to the human eye. Thermal imaging cameras pick up this radiation and convert it into an image which is calibrated to a temperature scale, allowing us to see subtle temperature changes and all heat sources in an environment.
As well as giving us the ability to analyse heat sources on a monitor, this data can also be processed by the system itself, allowing for automated reaction where appropriate.
By detecting subtle changes in temperature, thermal imaging fire detection systems react to any areas where temperatures are increasing rapidly, reaching dangerous levels or where embers are developing in pockets not visible to other methods of fire detection.
Thermal cameras can also be integrated with your fire suppression system, completely automating your response to fires and enabling you to focus on evacuating safely in the event of a fire. When combined with their continuous recording capabilities, you can be confident your business is protected from fires 24/7.
Can infrared cameras detect smoke?
There are different types of infrared cameras. Active IR systems, also known as ‘night vision’ cameras, may be blocked by smoke. Thermal imaging systems for fire detection work on the longer wavelengths of IR emitted by hot surfaces and objects, including fires. As a result, they effectively see through any smoke to detect the heat of the fire and sound the alarm.
Why Fire Shield Systems?
If you need to ensure early fire detection, we will work with you to create the best, bespoke thermal camera fire detection solution for your business and link it with a suppression system to create a complete fire protection solution.
We have over 25 years’ experience designing, installing and maintaining fire detection and suppression solutions, giving us the knowledge to account for every eventuality and resolve any issues quickly and effectively.
When installing your system, we won’t simply ‘install it and forget it’. Instead, we take the time to ensure you’re completely confident with the system and are always available to provide support through our regular training and re-training session at your location. Our fleet of engineers covers the whole of the UK and Ireland..
