Fire alarm visualization can save lives and minimize costs

Zenita has developed and installed fire alarm visualization for customers using the Pacom Unison parent system. Presentation of alarms takes place easily on monitors that are strategically placed at customers. The purpose is for staff to be able to quickly see where in the building a detector for the fire alarm has been activated and quickly able make decisions and act to save lives and limit damage.

“A superior security system such as Pacom Unison provides great opportunities to make critical information, such as fire alarms, easily accessible and easy to understand for staff so that they can act quickly” - says one of the systems specialists at Zenita Security

Benefits of Fire Alarm System Visualization‍

A visual solution of the fire alarm system reduces the response time for the personnel who can then more quickly locate and investigate where the detector has been activated (where there may be a fire). If the fire is contained at an early stage, a relief effort may be possible, which may mean that the business does not need space. Quick decisions and actions are especially important in, for example, healthcare, where staff have a special responsibility for patients who are unable to evacuate themselves in the event of a fire. If the staff is able to carry out a remediation effort early, it creates contingencies so that damage, clean-up and restoration costs after a fire are greatly reduced.

• Reduces response time for staff
• Extinguishing can be carried out at an early stage
• Evacuation may be restricted or need not be carried out
• Damage costs for remediation reduced

Alarm system where visualization can be used

A visual solution of, for example, assault alarms or burglar alarms at large facilities such as malls, sports stadiums or critical infrastructure, makes it easier for personnel to pinpoint exactly where the detector has been activated. Simplified and more accessible critical information allows decisions to be made more quickly and thus minimize personal injury and property damage.
