Video Smoke & Fire Detection


Experience the next generation of fire safety with Woodcock AI  an intelligent smoke and fire detection system that works seamlessly with your existing CCTV network. Using advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision, it continuously monitors live video feeds to detect the earliest visual signs of smoke or flames.

Our technology analyses footage from standard CCTV cameras in real time, recognising even the faintest traces of smoke or fire before they escalate into a serious threat. Instant alerts enable rapid response, helping to reduce damage, protect assets, and safeguard lives.

Self Learning AI

Unique to Woodcock AI is the pioneering of self learning artificial intelligence for smoke and fire detection. The system adapts to each individual camera environment, constantly retraining itself to understand the true presence of smoke or fire. This process eliminates the chance of false alarms or missed detections entirely. By recognising natural movement and adapting to changes in weather that would normally cause confusion, it becomes a world first in reliability. The result is a detection system that can be trusted without question.

Why CCTV-Based AI?


Combining wider coverage, enhanced accuracy, and early detection with dual security and fire safety functionality. The smart, economical choice that outperforms conventional alarms and thermal CCTV, safeguarding lives and property with cutting-edge technology. Embrace the power of AI for a safer tomorrow.

Visual Smoke & Fire Detection

Designed to protect large areas where traditional air sampling may be too slow, Woodcock AI works indoors and outdoors using your existing cameras with no extra hardware. Analysing live feeds in real time, delivering clear video clips for rapid decision making and complementing heat and point smoke detectors, adding broader coverage and improved safety.

Each detected event is automatically saved as an MP4 clip, providing valuable evidence for audits, training, and incident reviews. Flexible scheduling options allow you to pause alerts during planned maintenance or other non-critical periods. You can define privacy zones and polygon-shaped detection areas for each camera to ensure compliance and focus on relevant spaces. Manage and monitor everything through an intuitive web dashboard or our mobile app, with role-based access controls that let you assign different permission levels for team members, partners, and stakeholders.

Rapid Deploy Smoke & Fire Detection


The worlds only fully remote Video Smoke & Fire Detection technology. For sites without established network infrastructure, we also provide self-contained camera towers with solar power, 4G/5G/Starlink connectivity, and battery backup. These extend detection to construction sites, temporary yards, and remote or rural locations while still integrating directly with control systems.

The Edge NVR

The Woodcock AI edge-based video processing unit brings the power of AI smoke and fire detection directly onto your local network, eliminating the need for high-bandwidth streaming to the cloud. Designed for rapid response, it analyses footage from your existing CCTV cameras in real time, detecting even the faintest signs of smoke or small flames in under four seconds. This self-contained unit operates independently of internet connectivity, making it ideal for sites with strict security requirements or limited bandwidth. With built-in relay outputs, it can trigger fire panels or other safety systems instantly, ensuring immediate action. Its compact design, robust processing capabilities, and simple plug-and-play setup make it a practical, reliable choice for continuous on-site fire monitoring.
