Introduction. The fire safety of the protected object is determined by the possibility of reliable fire detection. Insufficiently effective operation of the fire alarm system can lead to the death of people, unacceptable material and other damage. The video surveillance system, being one of the main links of the engineering security system, monitors emergency situations in real time and, in particular, a breakout of fire at the protected object. Goals and objectives. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state and trends in the development of video surveillance equipment aimed at improving the fire safety of protected objects. Tasks include regulatory justification of the use of video surveillance in fire alarm systems, review of methods of fire detection by video surveillance and improving their effectiveness under the influence of interfering factors, as well as evaluation of the effectiveness of video surveillance in fire protection systems. Methods. The methods of the system analysis and probability theory are used. Results and discussion. The requirements of regulatory documents for detectors with a video detection channel for their effective operation in fire alarm systems are considered. The main directions of development of means and methods of application of video surveillance in fire protection systems are defined. It is shown that reducing the risk of non-detection of fire to an acceptable level can be achieved by increasing the probability of effective operation of the fire alarm system, as well as by increasing the positive impact of the video surveillance system, which is a part of the complex security system of the object. Conclusions. Video surveillance significantly increases the efficiency of fire detection. It allows you to get a visual picture of the state of the protected object, which has such a high information content that no other security means can provide. The use of video surveillance equipment in fire alarm systems, as well as their integration with industrial and fire automation systems is one of the main reserves for increasing the fire safety of facilities.

Introduction. Rationale of the topic of this article is the need to improve the effectiveness of fire detection. One of the modern solutions to this problem is the use of video technology. The article is aimed at developing a method to assess the effectiveness of video surveillance in the fire protection system on the basis of the formed mathematical model.Methods of research. The fire risks theory is used for formation of mathematical model. The potential fire detection risk is introduced as a quantitative measure of the possibility of undetected fire occurrence at the protected facility, development and implementation of its consequences for people and material valuables. It is calculated as the product of the maximum probability of fire by the probability of its non-detection by the technical means and alarm systems used. The efficiency of video surveillance use in the fire protection system is determined on the basis of compliance of the complex risk index of fire non-detection with the permissible value.Research results. The possibilities of increasing the efficiency of fire detection through the use of video technology are considered. Reducing the fire detection risk can be achieved by using video channel fire detectors that reduce the time it takes to reliably detect a fire. The probability of reliable detection is an important parameter of the detector during its operation in the fire alarm system and characterizes the degree of performance of its main function. The main ways to improve the efficiency of fire detection are the improvement of fire detectors with video channel, the joint use of fire video detectors and other detection devices, such as automatic multi-criteria detectors, thermal imaging сamera, as well as the use of photo and video in centralized surveillance systems.Conclusions. The offered method of estimation of efficiency of application of video surveillance in fire protection systems can be used for a substantiation of parameters of technical means (systems) of the fire alarm system and passive fire-fighting measures established on the facility.

В настоящей статье рассматриваются вопросы развития пожарных извещателей, контролирующих появление дыма, превышение заданного значения температуры и скорости ее роста, наличие угарного газа и использующих мультикритериальные алгоритмы для оценки обоснованности сигналов тревоги. Анализируются результаты проведенных отечественными организациями сравнительных испытаний мультикритериальных и традиционных «пороговых» пожарных извещателей и возможности их применения на судах в составе систем пожарной сигнализации. Определено, что при повторении одних и тех же модельных очагов пожаров зафиксированные значения контролируемых параметров отличались незначительно. При этом для каждого модельного очага можно было обнаружить свои характерные черты. Сделан вывод о том, что внедрение мультикритериальных алгоритмов обработки информации в судовые системы обнаружения пожаров не только сокращает время обнаружения пожара, но и позволяет расширить функциональные возможности системы. Используя мультикритериальные пожарные извещатели в системах пожарной сигнализации можно будет распознавать, что именно горит: дизельное топливо, ветошь, изоляция электрического кабеля или что-либо другое. Отмечается, что требования к судовым мультикритериальным системам сигнализации обнаружения пожара нашли свое отражение в Правилах классификации и постройки морских судов Российского морского регистра судоходства. This article discusses the development of fire detectors that control the appearance of smoke, the excess of a given temperature and the rate of its growth, the presence of carbon monoxide and use multicriteria algorithms to assess the validity of alarm signals. The results of comparative tests of multicriteria and traditional fire detectors conducted by domestic organizations and the possibility of their use on ships as part of fire alarm systems are analyzed. It was determined that when the same model fires were repeated, the recorded values of the controlled parameters differed slightly. At the same time, for each model focus, it was possible to detect its own characteristic features. It is concluded that the introduction of multicriteria algorithms for information processing in ship fire detection systems not only reduces the time of fire detection, but also allows you to expand the functionality of the system. Using multi-criteria fire detectors in fire alarm systems,it will be possible to recognize what exactly is burning: diesel fuel, rags, electrical cable insulation, or anything else. It is noted that the requirements for ship multicriteria fire detection alarm systems are reflected in the Rules for the Classification and Construction of Marine Vessels of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.

<pre>There are several differences between the two types of alarm systems, conventional systems and addressable systems. It is important to carefully determine the introduction of a fire alarm system according to the installation environment. Talking about the main difference relates to how the connected device communicates with the main control panel by sending a signal. Cost is another factor that can be a determinant of your chosen fire alarm system. In this paper, we proposed smart addressable fire detection system. In the proposed system, <span>IoT</span> was used and the network was constructed using <span>ZigBee</span> module. In the configured network, it consists of a local server and a control server. The local server controls the addressing sensor and sends the information obtained from the sensor to the control server. The control server receives data transmitted from the local server and enables quick fire action. In the actual implementation, the local server used the Lycra controller and <span>ZigBee</span> module. In addition, the control server used the Raspberry Pi and <span>ZigBee</span> modules and connected to the Ethernet so that the administrator could monitor or control the local server.</pre>

The number of casualties in fire-related accidents has increased recently as fires have increased. Among facilities that reduce casualties in case of fire, the alarm is a fire-fighting facility that allows occupants to quickly evacuate to a safe space through alerts in case of danger. Location indicator lamps indicating the location of the transmitter in alarm systems play a very important role in the event of a fire. In the event of a fire, an alarm is issued through the transmitter, and fire transmitters ensure prompt action. However, performance control of the location indicator is not performed during inspection of the legal firefighting facility; only the lighting condition is checked. It is essential to maintain the performance of the location indicator of the transmitter, which can induce rapid evacuation and reduce casualties. This study investigated the performance state and management method of a position indicator lamp that can easily recognize the location of the transmitter. In the case of aging position indicators, it was found that the luminance was low and that identification could not be secured.
