VIDEO/PHOTOS: Cameras that utilize AI and thermal imaging could detect fires early enough to allow firefighters to arrive and stop them before they destroy entire sites, according to Drew Dixon, VP of Operations at Dixon Security Cameras. These kinds of cameras used to come with a hefty price tag, but prices have come down, allowing more companies to buy them and put them to use.
Massive flames like the ones seen at a Lehi construction site last week or multiple sites in Ogden earlier this year began with a spark. The goal is to get to it before it spreads and leaves construction sites devastated. “The faster you can find a problem, the faster you can stop it,โ Dixon said.
Dixon has cameras all over the area, including at construction sites. He explained how the cameras work using AI and heat detection. “They just kind of detect that increased temperature and usually the spread and the way at which it moves,โ Dixon said.
