Abstract
The invention relates to a particle detector, systems, and methods for detecting the presence of particles in a volume of air, most particularly it relates to detection systems and methods that use multiple modes of detection to detect the presence of particles. Preferably the particles being detected are particles that indicate an actual or incipient fire, or pyrolysis, such as smoke.

32. An alert system including:
-
at least one first input to receive a signal indicating a sensed condition from a sensor system that indicates the presence of smoke and/or fire; at least one second input to receive a signal derived from a video capture system; the alert system being configured to indicate a first alert condition based on the at least one first input; and
to indicate a second alert condition in the event that the sensed condition is verified by the signal derived from the video capture system. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35)
