Fire Safety in High-rise buildings.
If you are responsible for Fire safety or are a resident of a high-rise, multi-occupancy property you will be only too aware of the increased awareness of the need for enhanced fire detection and evacuation processes.
The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.
Many properties have deployed a waking watch service; this is a fire protection service and involves marshals patrolling to lookout for potential signs of a fire. They are also responsible for raising the alarm.
These services are costing property owners and residents thousands of pounds. A Waking Watch service can be replaced by a wireless Fire Detection System. This meets all the required standards and is quickly and easily installed. The total one-off cost of a Fire Detection System can be less than 10 weeks of a Waking Watch service.
The Avalon Mk1 Digital Video Recorder (DVR), also known as the ATV Falcon, is a digital Multiplexer / Recorder. It can be networked for local or Internet viewing of live or recorded footage. There are three versions of this DVR – 4, 9 or 16 camera models. Recorded footage can be copied from the DVR onto a USB stick or directly onto a PC (if networked) using the IRAS or Rasplus software. This DVR records up to 50 images per second and supports full Duplex (DVR continues to record even if users are searching, playing back or copying recorded footage). Alarm inputs and outputs allow footage to be ‘marked’ for event searching and for external devices to be activated, i.e. Alarm Siren / Flashing Lights. There are multiple search options – Date/Time, Calendar or Event. Continuos recording in Disk Overwrite mode.
RasPlus CCTV Software (Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7)
RasPlus CCTV software is not compatible on earlier versions of the Avalon DVR. Please contact AlertSystems to confirm if this software will work on your DVR.
