New Fire Systems to Improve Safety
GENTECH is showing off new addressable fire alarm systems. The new alarm system incorporates unique notifying technology called Exit Point to clearly guide people to the nearest exit when the alarm is activated. GENTECH has also introduced the First Vision fire system, which enables fire fighters to find specific information on the source of the fire alarm via a small screen installed near the entrance of a building. The screen will display information such as the source of the detection, fastest route to the fire, and other exit points. The new smart systems should enable fire fighters to tackle a fire faster, thereby significantly reducing the probability of loss of property or life.
