Quick answer: The Flame Detection Camera Unit is the video flame detection camera we build for open sided e-bike shelters, where a smoke chamber is the wrong sensor because the draught takes the smoke away before it can be measured. Wanlin Fire is an e-bike shelter fire suppression manufacturer and export supplier in China, covering ai flame detection camera for e-bike shelters plus the flame detection, wireless control, valve and pump, nozzle layout and monitoring parts that a two-wheeler parking shelter needs. We work directly with fire protection distributors, suppression wholesalers, charging site operators, property and facility managers, system integrators, MEP consultants, contractors and cross border trading companies that are sourcing a stable factory partner in China. What changed: partner margin on shelter kits normally lands around 32% through factory direct sourcing, per-model documentation, layout drawings with stated duties and flexible MOQ with long-term partner stock programs. The comparison took 23 days and was decided on drawings rather than on unit price: which supplier could state the camera count, the nozzle spacing and the pump duty in writing.

An estate with a paved courtyard had been quoted for trenching across it, and the quote had killed the project for a season.
The client had inherited a mixed estate: three generations of fire equipment, two of which had never been commissioned.
The client compared a fire ball row, a wired sprinkler scheme and the wireless package, and the tiebreaker was the commissioning evidence each one produced. Andi Kurniawan signed off the first AI Video Flame Detector for Two-Wheeler Parking order covering 28 shelter sites in the Philippines, and the specification was rebuilt around detection logic, coverage and the measured water supply rather than around a brand name.
The trial ran for 23 days on one shelter while the rest of the estate stayed on the old arrangement, which gave the client a direct comparison rather than a claim. Two courtyards, one supply, and a listed boundary wall between them that could not be touched. That was the whole brief.
The failure is rarely the device. It is the assumption that a device sized for a room will behave the same way under a draughty canopy.
A site in Manila had detectors that tripped on dust every few weeks, so the managing agent muted them. After that the shelter had no detection at all, and everybody knew it.
Field case: A pack under a scooter seat vented and flamed at knee height. The ceiling device three metres away stayed silent for the whole event, and the fire was found by a resident walking past.
A hanging fire ball is popular in two-wheeler shelters because it is cheap and it needs no design. It functions when flame reaches the sphere. That single condition is the problem, because a lithium pack fails at seat height under a seat, and the fire has to travel to the device before anything happens. A shelter fire does not wait for that trip.
We sell water based systems, so we have an interest in this comparison and we state it plainly. The honest argument is not that powder does nothing. It is that a one shot device with no cooling and a short reach does not fit a fire that propagates along a row of fuel.
The sequence is short on purpose, because the whole argument for automatic suppression in a shelter is that it happens before anyone can be involved.
The delay to actuation and the run period are configuration values, not factory defaults nobody has checked. Both are stated in writing with the project drawings, and both can be set to what the local code expects.
Supply is the part of a shelter design that decides whether the layout is real. A drawing that the water cannot feed is a drawing, and the most common specification error in this category is a pump selected from the shelter floor area instead of from the nozzle count and the spray duty.
Wanlin Fire is recruiting local partners for two-wheeler shelter protection. Our cooperation models are written for three kinds of buyer: the distributor holding stock and service in their own market, the trading company consolidating across several product lines, and the project buyer answering a performance clause on a tender. Because detection, control, valve and pump and the nozzle set ship from one factory, a partner can fill a container with a complete shelter configuration under a single bill of lading.
Partners across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America run this model today. Cross border trading companies looking for a source factory are welcome to start with a sample shelter kit and move to container volume once their own market testing is done.
What follows is the actual specification, written as the values we confirm in writing for a project rather than as a range of numbers. The Flame Detection Camera Unit is the video flame detection camera we build for open sided e-bike shelters, where a smoke chamber is the wrong sensor because the draught takes the smoke away before it can be measured.
The shelter range covers the flame detection camera, the wireless control module, the zoned solenoid valve with the pump set or the tank and booster arrangement, the rotary nozzles, the bracket and pipe set, and the monitoring option, so one shelter is protected by one configuration rather than by parts assembled from several suppliers. Part numbers are issued per configuration and stated on the datasheet supplied with the quotation.

Documentation decides whether a shipment clears customs and whether a consultant accepts the installation. Wanlin Fire supplies real documents for applicable models instead of a generic statement, and we recommend that every buyer verifies the certificate information for the exact configuration they intend to purchase. Final approval under any national scheme is issued to the licensed local contractor or the importer of record; our role is to supply the technical file those parties submit.

Every export kit ships with the documentation set for the destination: declarations per model, hydraulic calculations for the issued layout, radio compliance files for the band plan in use, and labelling in the language the market expects. Final acceptance always rests with the market authority having jurisdiction, and we recommend the importer of record verifies the exact configuration before ordering.
Buyers comparing suppliers in this category end up weighing the same things: whether the document matches the configuration, whether the drawings exist before the order, and whether anyone answers a pump duty question in writing.
Shelter projects add their own requirements. Parking density has grown faster than the structures were designed for, batteries are charged overnight by people who are asleep, and the sites are usually managed by whoever holds the keys rather than by a fire engineer. Buyers comparing European, North American and Japanese brands, or weighing a local trading supplier against a factory, usually end up judging the same things we are judged on: whether the drawings exist before the deposit, whether the duty is calculated from a measured supply, and whether anyone answers a pump question in writing.

A shelter project follows a fixed order of work, and skipping the survey is the usual reason a kit arrives that does not fit the site. A standard shelter project then follows 8 steps:
These comments came back after the first discharge test and the first audit, which is when opinions are worth having.
A: A smoke chamber needs smoke to reach it. In an open sided shelter the wind takes the smoke away before it builds a layer under the canopy, which is the reason smoke heads in these shelters either stay silent or trip on dust and exhaust. The camera reads flame directly, so it does not wait for a smoke layer that the draught is removing.
A: A shelter up to 100 square metres is normally covered by one or two cameras aimed down the charging rows. What decides the count is the camera field of view, the canopy depth and any column or partition that blocks the sight line. Send the shelter drawing with the canopy height and we state the camera count and the aiming plan in writing before you order.
A: Flame recognition runs on the flame signature rather than on overall scene brightness, so it works when the shelter lighting is poor. The practical limit is a camera pointed straight at a strong light source or into direct sun, which is why the aiming plan comes with the layout rather than being left to the installer.
A: Recording and retention are configuration items, and the retention rule is set by whoever operates the site because in many markets it touches privacy rules. We supply the camera and the recording options; your operator sets the retention period that the local rule allows.
A: The camera is the detection device, not the actuator. It sends the flame event to the control module over the wireless link, and the module opens the solenoid valve and starts the pump. That split is deliberate: the decision to discharge water sits in one supervised unit, so a single camera fault cannot start a discharge on its own.
What changed: By working directly with manufacturer Wanlin Fire, Manila Fire Safety System Integrator Andi Kurniawan gained 32% margin headroom while keeping competitive installed pricing. With verified per-model documentation, layout drawings with stated duties, video flame detection practice with local code submittal support per installation, referenced to the fire detection and alarm standard in force in the destination market, detection matched to an open sided shelter, private label branding, a supply survey done before the quote and after-sales spare programs, Wanlin Fire became their long-term e-bike shelter suppression supply partner in the Philippines. We are a source factory actively recruiting local partners, and cross border trading companies are welcome to start with a sample shelter kit and grow into container programs.
