摘要

Fire detector installations comprise fire detectors as sensor devices for detecting fires, smoke, flames or other signs of fire, and are used in both public buildings, such as schools or museums, and in private buildings. The invention relates to a fire detector device (1) for detecting fires and or signs of fire in an area to be monitored, said fire detector device comprising a camera element (2) for recording image data in the area to be monitored, and an evaluation element (7) designed to detect a fire or signs of fire by evaluating the image data. The fire detector device (1) is designed as a multi-criteria detector and comprises at least one other sensor element (3, 12, 13, 14) for fire detection.
