Case Study: Your Homes Newcastle improves fire safety with MOBOTIX thermal detection

Your Homes Newcastle (YHN), UK - Customer Case Study

Your Homes Newcastle (YHN), which manages over 26,000 council properties, sought to enhance fire safety in its multi-storey blocks. The key challenges were ensuring resident safety through the early detection of fires, enabling a rapid verification and response to incidents, and minimizing potential damage to property. To address this, they partnered with vendor Mobotix to pilot an innovative thermal detection system.

The solution involved installing Mobotix M16 thermal cameras in bin chute rooms to continuously monitor for unexpected heat patterns. The system instantly alerts OpenView Security's control centre and the fire service, allowing for a rapid assessment and response. This integration by Mobotix into the existing infrastructure provided an early warning system with no disruption to residents, significantly minimizing the potential risk to lives and property.
