The software detected smoke in camera images and alerted temple staff.

The image-recognition software ran on an Advantech IPC-730 computer with a SKY-QUAD-5000A-32 accelerator card. Advantech reports processing about one frame every five seconds.

The software analyzed CCTV images and sent smoke alerts to temple staff through LINE.

AI門神 detected smoke through cameras that already covered the temple and alerted staff through LINE. The night clerk reached the room with an extinguisher. Firefighters arrived eight minutes later.

A clerk attempted to extinguish the fire. Firefighters controlled it after the temple called the fire service.

The system's documented contribution is the first alert. By the temple's own log it detected smoke at 05:30, a minute before the lithium batteries burst at 05:33. It messaged the front desk, the general manager and the chairman in sequence over LINE. That is how a chairman asleep in Nara came to follow the fire on the temple's cameras. The suppression was human. The clerk's extinguisher failed once the batteries burst. The Yunlin County Fire Bureau's eight trucks and eighteen firefighters, called at 05:36, controlled the fire at 06:10. UDN reports that a residential smoke alarm (住警器) sounded as well. The Third Brigade commander 陳岳謄 attributed the containment to the building's reinforced-concrete structure and the crews' quick arrival without mentioning the AI. The LINE relay from the vendor is the chairman's account, not the bureau's.

According to the temple’s log, AI Door God detected smoke at 05:30 and sent alerts through LINE. The chairman followed the developing fire through the temple’s cameras.

Assumed alternative: the temple's overnight duty staff relying on their own watch, without the AI smoke alert

The temple reports that the software detected smoke about one minute before the batteries burst. A conventional smoke alarm also sounded. The AI alert’s separate effect on the damage is unmeasured.

Not assessed

The temple’s account supplies the alert chronology. A residential smoke alarm also sounded. The fire service attributed containment to the building’s concrete structure and the firefighters’ arrival, without identifying a separate contribution from AI.

Cameras need to cover rooms where a fire could start. Alerts need to reach staff who can respond within minutes. Conventional smoke alarms remain necessary.

2 follow-up entries. Outcome unresolved: 2.

25 August 2026. In August 2026, after the Zhinan Temple fire in Taipei, UDN reported Wude Temple still relying on its AI alarm system combined with the cameras, recounting the February fire as the case that proved it; no other temple adopting the system is reported.

The fire damaged one office, while the main hall and worship areas remained usable. The temple stayed open. The fire bureau credited the concrete structure and firefighters’ arrival for containment. The AI alert provided earlier warning, but the evidence does not isolate its contribution to the damage avoided.

Fire safety (religious site). Temple and cultural-asset protection: AI video analytics on existing CCTV.

AI門神 (“AI door god: temple AI fire-and-theft prevention system”) was built to run AI image recognition over a temple's existing CCTV. It was built to detect excess smoke, flame and suspicious behavior, and to alert staff by SMS, LINE or email. CTS reported in December 2024 that Wude Temple's door-god system would sound an alarm at once on abnormal smoke. Flagging smoke before a fire was exactly its designed purpose.
