CORE and FLEX
Ciqurix video flame detection systems are available in two versions, known as FLEX and CORE. The same ground-breaking fire detection technology is used across both ranges, but the hardware and control systems differ.
FLEX is a CCTV system and is used for supplemental fire detection. Devices are connected using standard ethernet cabling and can potentially make use of existing network infrastructure (where suitable).
CORE is a fire system and is used for primary fire detection. It is designed to be compliant to BS5839-1:2017 (UK fire standard), uses fire-rated cabling, and will operate from its internal battery supply for over 24 hours. Each device is connected directly to a CORE Control Hub or Extension Hub with fire-rated 4-pair STP cable using the Ciqurix QLS protocol.
CORE PERFORMANCE.
CORE is a fire system which provides primary fire detection using multi-spectral video analytics onboard each detection device. It is designed for compliance to BS5839-1 (UK fire standard), uses fire-rated cabling, and will continue to operate from its internal battery supply for over 24 hours during power failure.

HOW IT WORKS - FLAME DETECTION USING OUR DUAL LENS TECHNOLOGY
DUAL LENS TECHNOLOGY – Ciqurix detectors process visual and infrared images simultaneously, using analytics to identify the physical presence of a flame. We are not looking for by-products of a fire (be it smoke or temperature). Our detectors are looking for colour, brightness, shape, flicker, movement – and they are looking for all of this over time. When enough of these things are present (not all of them necessarily, but enough of them) – a fire event is declared and actioned.
