Fire Door Open/Blocked Exit Detection and Alarm SolutionAI-powered vision solution detects fire door left open and blocked emergency exits via existing cameras, providing instant alerts for swift response.
Fire doors and emergency exits are critical safety components that save lives during emergencies. Leaving these doors open or blocking their access not only poses safety risks but also violates regulations.
Hype Vision leverages your existing IP/CCTV cameras to deliver AI-driven analytics that detect when fire doors remain open or emergency exits are obstructed, offering real-time alarms and notifications for rapid intervention.
We use AI with your current cameras to detect fire doors left open or blocked emergency exits, delivering immediate alerts through multiple alarm channels.
Challenge: Fire Door and Emergency Exit Safety
Fire doors and emergency exits must remain open and accessible for fast evacuation during fires or other emergencies. In practice, these doors can be left open accidentally or blocked, risking personnel safety and violating legal requirements.
Manual inspections are time-consuming and cannot guarantee continuous monitoring. Hence, automated, continuous surveillance solutions are essential.
Our Solution: AI Analysis from Camera Images
The Hype Vision platform integrates with your existing IP/CCTV cameras via RTSP or ONVIF protocols. Our proprietary "Hype-Model" AI family detects fire doors left open and obstacles blocking emergency exits from the video feed.
Using object detection, classification, and pose tracking techniques, our AI model continuously assesses whether the door is open or closed and if any obstructive objects are present in front of the exit.
- Compatible with any brand and existing cameras
- Privacy-focused, KVKK-compliant anonymous analysis modules
- On-premise deployment ensures data security
- Real-time alarms and notifications
- Multiple integration options (panels, WhatsApp, VMS, PLC, ERP, REST API)
Example Alarm Scenario
In a manufacturing facility, the system detects if a fire door is left open for 5 minutes and immediately sends an alert to the control panel. Simultaneously, the security officer receives a WhatsApp notification.
If a pallet or material is placed in front of the door, blocking the exit, the system triggers a popup alarm on the VMS. Operators and relevant teams can take immediate corrective action.
Camera and Lighting Requirements
Our system generally works with your existing IP or CCTV cameras, provided they capture the fire door at a clear angle and resolution.
Adequate lighting around the door area during most hours is important. Industrial cameras and lighting solutions may be added for quality assurance if necessary.
For poor lighting conditions, infrared (IR) support or high-sensitivity cameras are recommended to ensure clear images.
Installation and Integration Steps
1. Ensure RTSP or ONVIF access to existing IP/CCTV cameras.
2. Install Hype Vision software on an on-premise server or closed network environment.
3. Register camera feeds to the platform and activate Hype-Model analysis modules.
4. Configure alarm trigger times and sensitivities based on monitoring requirements.
5. Integrate preferred notification channels (WhatsApp, SMS, PLC, ERP, REST API, etc.).
6. Monitor performance during the pilot phase, implement improvements, and finalize deployment.
Measured Outputs and Performance
The system continuously reports how long doors remain open, presence of obstacles, and total alarm counts.
These insights support safety and occupational health management by enabling preventive measures in high-risk areas.
At pilot completion, site-specific success rates and compliance are validated prior to full-scale rollout.

Frequently asked questions
How does the fire door open and blocked exit alarm work?
Images from your existing cameras are analyzed using Hype-Model AI. When a door is left open or its exit is blocked, the system promptly sends alarms and notifications.
Is special camera hardware or equipment required for the system?
Typically, existing IP/CCTV cameras are sufficient. However, image quality and angle affect detection accuracy. Industrial cameras and lighting are recommended for low light or detailed monitoring.
How are alarms and notifications delivered?
Alarms can be sent via control panel integrations, WhatsApp or SMS alerts, VMS popups, PLC or relay triggers, ERP/MES systems, and REST API connections.
What is the duration and scope of the pilot implementation?
The pilot usually lasts 2 to 4 weeks, including system installation, accuracy testing in active areas, integrations, and operational feedback gathering.
How is data privacy and KVKK compliance ensured?
Hype Vision uses anonymous analysis modules that avoid processing personal data. On-premise deployment keeps data within the facility, supporting KVKK compliance.
