CCTV and Fire Detection System Integration

The biggest vulnerability of the Fire Detection and Alarm Systems is false alarms. Too many false alarms cause the operators to refrain from performing their functions or to act more slowly after a while. Therefore, the verification of the alarms quickly and precisely will be extremely useful in preventing incidents if the operator only enters the alarm zone in the actual alarms and runs the emergency scenarios . The greatest force in fire fighting is rapid detection and intervention , because fires in high-rise buildings may expand to unstoppable levels in a few minutes.

Prevention of False Alarms

From time to time, we go to public and private enterprises in order to carry out a Risk Analysis. In our examinations, we even observe that certain panels are turned off because there are constantly false alarms. When the system is examined, it is observed that alarms are received due to smoking, welding, detector contamination, natural events, wild animals, etc. in addition to infrastructure problems, but since the site cannot be monitored, a person goes to the site and examines where the detector is and a very serious loss of workforce occurs.

However, if the closest camera image is displayed simultaneously when an alarm is received from any detector and the alarm moment event video can be viewed with a single click, a large part of the false alarms will be eliminated. This is possible with the use of integrated systems.

Benefits of Integration

With this integration, you can see all your devices on the map. If there is a problem with any detector, any panel or any alarm input in your Fire Detection and Alarm System, the color on the map turns to red and the camera image at the closest location appears on the screen. The system is simultaneously forcing you to verify the alarm. It allows you to interfere in the fastest way by allowing you to perform a series of operations such as informing the police, informing the fire department, adding some notes, opening some doors manually or automatically, and making announcements.

Similarly, CCTV Systems, Fire Detection Systems, Access Control Systems, Alarm Systems etc. can be monitored on the screen of a single computer and alarms can be easily managed online.
