Default Engine bay fire detection with video camera

How about a battery powered home smoke detector?

I don't know how it would respond to the high temperatures in the engine bay during normal
operation (ambient temperature in summer + engine heat), or the effect of air turbulence on the
detector, so I suspect it'd take a lot more testing than I'm interested in doing.
