Phoenix Energy Nigeria Limited

Phoenix Energy Nigeria Limited, the authorized Nigeria agent for all Fike Fire Alarm, Fike Video Image Detection Technology and Fike Fire Suppression has installed and commissioned a state‐of‐the‐art system to protect Unilever’s new Mega Distribution Centre (Warehouse) facility in Agbara, Ogun State, Nigeria. We combined Video Fire Detection (VFD) with traditional fire alarm technology, the solution ensures any fire is detected at the earliest opportunity, before any serious damage is done to the stock in the warehouse.

The system consisted of Fike’s SigniFire VFD and CyberCat® Fire Alarm systems closely integrated to provide the overall fire detection solution. SigniFire continually analyses images from its cameras, looking for tell‐tale characteristics that indicate the presence of smoke and/or flames. This processing and analysis is built into each camera. Thirty‐two IP cameras covering the warehouse area were connected to an IP Network Video Recorder (NVR) for recording. Each camera’s alarm output was also connected directly to the Cybercat® system, ensuring continued protection even if the IP network or NVR failed.
