Description
Summary:In the presented scientific article, we focus on the issue of prevention and protection of forests against forest fires using the analytical-design method. We try to find out through professional publications which preventive measures serve to effectively prevent the occurrence of forest fires. The first part summarizes and describes the detection methods that are actively used for the detection and early detection of forest fires. We compared stationary fire protection camera systems in Europe and the world with camera systems in Slovakia. Subsequently, the advantages and disadvantages of individual detection methods are analyzed. The second part presents the benefits of pilot operation of a stationary detection system and proposed recommendations for a new location of their installation, model schemes and methods of effective operation.
