Fire Alarm Systems
Automatic fire alarm systems are designed to monitor and detect heat and/or smoke presence inside a building. The main purpose of a fire alarm system is to notify building inhabitants that there is a presence of a fire situation, allowing them to evacuate the occupied space safely before it is too late.
There are two types of fire alarm systems: Conventional and Addressable. Conventional fire alarms have been around for quite some time and cost much less than addressable systems however, as the technological and manufacturing advancements have progressed, the cost factor has been narrowing every year.
