Abstract

The invention relates to a smoke detection device 1, said smoke detection device 1 being connectable to at least one monitoring camera 2 which is designed to capture images of a monitored area, said monitored area comprising at least one stationary lighting object 3. The smoke detection device comprises an analyzing device 4, said analyzing device 4 being designed to detect at least one smoke detection feature in the monitored area in order to detect smoke in the images. The analyzing device 4 detects the at least one lighting object in the images, and the analyzing device 4 detects a change of a light scattering of the at least one detected lighting object 3 as the at least one smoke detection feature.
