Our Fire Alarm Mass Notification Solutions
Unified Emergency Alert Platforms
We engineer systems that unify voice, strobe, and panel-based alerts into a centralized platform. Building occupants receive real-time evacuation instructions through speakers and visible strobes, with the ability to target specific zones or floors for faster, safer responses.
Visual & Mobile Notification Features
To meet NFPA 72 and UL 2572 requirements, we integrate strobes, horns, and LED displays to provide intelligible alerts in noisy or hard-to-reach areas. Every message is designed to be seen and heard, clearly and without confusion.
Advanced System Monitoring
Our systems include 24/7 monitoring and diagnostic tools to ensure they’re reliable. We track system health, alert for component failures, and generate automated reports for Chicago Fire Prevention Bureau compliance.
Connected Safety Starts with Full-System Support
