Why You Should Integrate Fire Systems Into Your Security Network?
BSIA Spectrum Magazine article by Peter Lackey, Fire Manager UK & Ireland, Johnson Controls
Fire and security systems have traditionally been operated separately, with no intercommunication. The regulatory and technical hurdles meant that managers rarely considered the potential benefits. However, with the industry under pressure and technology improving by the day, now is the time to reconsider system integration.
Integration can offer monitoring teams an additional layer of visual insight into the building, enabling them to quickly make sense of alerts coming through the system. Overall, it improves your understanding of what’s going on in the building – essential for good security.
