Early fire detection on the CCTV cameras you already have.
ONFIEX adds an early-warning layer to your existing camera network, so your team can look at smoke and flame sooner. Built for warehouses and factories.
Most sites already have the cameras. Few use them for fire.
Smoke detectors wait for smoke to reach the ceiling. In high-ceiling sheds and stacked storage, that can take time. Your cameras are already watching the same space.
Cameras sit idle on fire risk
CCTV is usually used to review incidents after the fact, not to flag early warning signs.
Nobody watches every feed
A small fire can show up on one camera while no one is looking at that view.
Nuisance alerts wear teams down
Steam, welding sparks, dust and sunlight can confuse any camera. We test for these on your site first.
How it works
We start small, on a few cameras, and prove it on your site before anything is rolled out wider.
Free assessment
A site walk and a review of 4 to 8 camera feeds: angles, lighting, coverage and risk areas.
Risk scorecard
Each priority camera is scored for suitability, with clear no-go conditions where the view is not good enough.
Supervised shadow pilot
Detection runs alongside your current setup with your approval. Your alarm systems and procedures stay unchanged.
Review and decide
We go through alerts, false alarms and gaps together, then you decide what, if anything, comes next.

What the system is designed to do
Capabilities of the on-site edge AI system we work with. How well each one performs is tested on your cameras during the assessment and pilot, not assumed.
Starts from your existing views
Designed to use the CCTV views already covering your priority areas. We review angle, distance, lighting and activity for each view before choosing which to use.
Looks for visible smoke and flame
Video analytics look for fire and smoke that becomes visible in the camera view. Known non-fire patterns, like steam or sparks, are reviewed per view.
Alerts with context
Designed to send the image, site and camera name to the people you choose, so they can see what is happening and where.
Channels your team already uses
Alerts can go to WhatsApp, a dashboard, SMS, phone or a siren, depending on what your site wants to connect.
Runs on-site, on an edge system
Detection is designed to run on an edge AI system installed inside your facility, so video is analysed where your cameras are. Some alert channels, like WhatsApp, still need network access.
Proven on your cameras first
Controlled tests on your own camera views check detection and the full alert path before anything goes live.
Recording is not warning.
A camera can record a small fire while nobody is watching that view. The idea is simple: when fire becomes visible, the right people get the picture and the place, quickly.
- The image from the camera view
- The site name
- The camera name
Where it fits
Sites with a high fire load and cameras already in place.
Your existing CCTV
We work with the cameras you have and tell you honestly where they fall short.
Smoke and flame only
We focus on visible smoke and flame. No thermal cameras, no extra hardware to buy for the assessment.
People stay in the loop
Alerts go to your team to check. Humans make the call.
Questions buyers ask
Plain answers before a first visit.
Can it work with our existing CCTV cameras?
That is the starting point. During the free assessment we review each camera view for angle, distance, lighting and site conditions, then pick the views worth using. Some views may not be suitable, and we will say so.
Does it replace our fire alarm system?
No. It is an extra visual early-warning layer. Your certified fire detection and protection systems stay on and unchanged.
What does our team receive alerts?
The image, the site and the camera, through channels set up for your site, such as WhatsApp, dashboard, SMS, phone or siren.
Does video need to leave our facility?
Our system is an on-site edge AI system. Detection is designed to run on a unit installed inside your facility, so video is analysed there. Alert channels such as WhatsApp or a cloud dashboard need network access to deliver messages.
How do we know it will work at our site?
We test it on your own camera views with controlled checks, and look at the full alert path, before anything is proposed for go-live.
