FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS
Fire alarm system monitoring is a service that ensures continuous supervision of a property's fire alarm systems, providing an immediate response in case of fire detection. This monitoring service is designed to enhance safety and reduce the risk of extensive fire damage by ensuring that fires are reported and addressed as quickly as possible. Here’s a detailed overview of how fire alarm system monitoring works and its key components:
- Detection: The fire alarm system includes various detectors and sensors, such as smoke detectors, heat sensors, and manual pull stations, strategically placed throughout the property.
- Signal Transmission: When a fire detection device is activated, it sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, which serves as the central processing unit for the fire alarm system.
- Alert to Monitoring Center: The fire alarm control panel then immediately transmits this alert to an off-site monitoring center. This transmission can occur through various communication channels, including telephone lines, cellular networks, or the internet.
