Notification Solutions and Services

Our revolutionary self-testing capability enables testing through control units, greatly reducing interruptions to building occupants and business operations. The devices are electronically supervised 24/7, giving facility managers greater control and confidence that systems are ready to perform. Notifications come via texts, horns, strobes, or speakers. Our advanced addressable notification solutions can help protect your people, property, and business operations.

Network Solutions

Network solutions are an efficient way to help protect large or complex facilities. Networking helps improve survivability. For example, fire detection networks can allow units to communicate on the evacuation of a specific block of floors versus an entire building. Our solutions also offer client server capability, creating the ability to monitor activity from anywhere.
