Abstract – The fire is a kind of disaster threatening the social will avoid the dependence on the experience of skilled
wealth and humanity’s safety. They cause threats to the personnel. The fire detector is those involving a fair amount of

2. RELATED WORK
There are four basic types of automatic alarm initiating devices
to detect flame, smoke, heat, and fire gases. Parameters such as
temperature and air movement are as relevant to fire detection
as the maintenance of the indoor working environment.
Generally, fire detection technologies are divided into two
groups, one is vision based that analyses video frames and other
one is sensor-based fire detection. Once the fire is detected the
sensors get activated. This information is a warning signal in

smoke detector are the most commonly used fire detection
devices. To overcome the problems of foggy weather and
smoke motion analysis is also included in the vision-based
technique to detect smoke accurately. These fire alarm systems Fig.1.The fire alarm system architecture
