Ruggedized Flame detection camera | ESCS

Ruggedized Marine Flame Detection Camera

This flame detection camera significantly enhances onboard safety by providing early and reliable fire detection, even in challenging environments like engine rooms or cargo holds. Using dual-spectrum sensing (UV/IR), it can identify flames within seconds, minimizing response time. Unlike traditional smoke detectors, it works effectively in open or ventilated areas. Its real-time alerts enable crew members to act swiftly, preventing fire escalation. This technology helps protect both lives and valuable assets at sea.

Ruggedized Marine Flame Detection Camera

ATEX & IECEx Certified Cameras

Our Explosionproof flame detection cameras are fully compliant with ATEX and IECEx standards, making them ideal for high-risk hazardous zones on offshore platforms and tankers. We provide surveillance equipment that meets the highest safety requirements.



Ethanol/Methanol Detection

Our flame detection camera stands out by reliably detecting invisible flames from fuels like Ethanol and Methanol, thanks to its sensor-based UV/IR technology. Unlike AI-based cameras that rely on visual cues, our system identifies actual flame signatures—even when they are not visible to the human eye or standard optics. This ensures critical early detection in hazardous areas. It operates effectively in all lighting conditions, including total darkness or bright sunlight. With no dependency on video analysis, it reduces false alarms. This makes it the ideal choice for high-risk environments where invisible fires pose serious threats.

  • Commercial Shipping: Cargo, tankers and container vessels
  • Offshore: Oil Rigs, Offshore Support (OSV), Windfarm and support vessels
  • Passenger transport: RoRo, Ferries & Cruise ships IMO Resolution MSC.550(108)

IMO Resolution MSC.550(108)

The new IMO Resolution MSC.550(108) emphasizes enhanced fire safety on ships, especially in enclosed or high-risk areas. Flame detection cameras are crucial under this resolution as they provide rapid, reliable fire detection—even in conditions where smoke detectors are ineffective. Their ability to detect flames in open spaces, moving air, or from invisible fuels like ethanol/-methanol supports compliance with the updated fire protection standards, improving crew and vessel safety. The IMO Resolution MSC.550(108) enters into force on 1 January 2026.

In summary:
  • Newbuild vessels: full compliance required from 1 January 2026.
  • Existing fleet: implementation required at the next applicable official survey after 1 January 2028.
