Abstract
A fire detection apparatus 1 including a wind ascertainment device 6 and an evaluation device 3, and connectable to at least one monitoring camera 2 for recording image data of a monitoring region. The evaluation device 3 includes a control unit 7, configured for evaluation of wind parameters provided by the wind ascertainment device 6. The evaluation device 3 includes an image processing unit 4 configured to evaluate at least one fire detection feature from the image data transmitted from the monitoring camera 2, wherein the control unit 7 switches the image processing unit 4 to different fire detection operation modes in dependence on the wind parameters.
