Fire Safety in Digital Infrastructure
Starts with Flir Early Fire Detection
Early Fire Detection
Data Centers
Safety That Pays Off
Data centers run 24/7 on tight margins for risk. Overheating hardware in densely packed racks, batteries cycling inside UPS rooms, and hidden faults in electrical panels can all spark fires that stop services, damage equipment, and put people in danger.
Flir’s advanced thermal imaging solutions give you continuous visibility of heat before it becomes fire. By detecting abnormal temperatures long before smoke, flame, or traditional sensors respond, you can protect uptime, stay compliant, and safeguard your reputation. Zero downtime starts with zero fire risk.
Smart Electrical Panel Monitoring
Faulty joints, loose lugs, or overloaded breakers inside electrical panels can create hot spots and arcing that go unnoticed until something fails—or ignites. Traditional inspections are periodic snapshots, leaving long gaps where risks can grow.
Flir compact fixed cameras provide continuous thermal “watch” over critical panels, switchgear, and power distribution boards. By correlating temperature trends with load data in your monitoring systems, you can pinpoint abnormal heating, prioritize maintenance, and prevent short-circuit surprises that threaten both safety and service levels.
UPS Rooms: Protect the Power That Protects You
Your UPS infrastructure is the last line of defence against outages—and a major source of heat. Continuous energy flow, ageing batteries, and stressed connections all raise the risk of thermal runaway and electrical fires in these rooms.
With Flir thermal monitoring installed on UPS cabinets, junctions, and battery strings, you’ll see dangerous heat patterns long before they become critical. Real-time alarms and automation via Flir SDK integrations help you respond instantly, keeping backup power stable, safe, and always ready when your data center needs it most.
Server Farm Protection
Overheating processors, high-density racks, and restricted airflow make server halls especially vulnerable to hidden hot spots. A single failed fan, loose connection, or cable fault can quickly escalate, and manual checks can’t keep pace with 24/7 loads and rapid changes in demand.
Flir fixed thermal imaging cameras and smart sensors continuously watch aisles, racks, and cable routes for early signs of trouble. Integrated with BMS or DCIM dashboards, they trigger automated alerts when temperatures drift beyond safe limits—so your team can rebalance cooling, move workloads, or intervene before heat turns into downtime or fire.
