Questions · Fire detection
The kitchen sets the detector off every day, what goes in there?
A kitchen does not get a smoke detector: it gets a heat one, and the regulations themselves treat it as a separate zone. CTE considers it a special risk room according to the installed power —low above 20 kW, medium above 30 and high above 50—, and from that classification hang the compartmentation, the doors and the conditions of the room.
Automatic suppression in the hood is compulsory when the installed power goes above 20 kW in Hospital and Residential Public use, and above 50 kW in the other uses. That system, with its extinguishing agent and its gas shut-off, is fitted and maintained by a fire suppression company: it is not our part. Ours is that its trigger signal reaches the control panel, is identified for what it is and stops whatever has to be stopped.
The smoke detector goes outside, in the opening that smoke would come out through towards the dining room or the corridor. That way what really matters is detected —that the fire has left the kitchen— without the system going off every time somebody uses the griddle.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
