This specialized category of applications manages and controls the operation of fire detection and suppression systems. Functionality includes monitoring sensors, activating alarms, providing system status, and recording events. These systems are vital in commercial, industrial, and residential settings for life safety and property protection.
The utilization of computer-based control offers significant advantages over traditional hard-wired systems. These include enhanced monitoring capabilities, detailed reporting, faster response times, and remote access for diagnostics and maintenance. Moreover, integrating these systems within broader building management platforms allows for coordinated emergency responses and resource allocation.
