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The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.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.
March Network Encoders allow you to expand the capabilities of an existing analogue video surveillance system. The range includes the Edge 4e encoder, Edge 16e encoder and the Decode Station.
The Encoder supports the integration of analogue video onto an IP video network and manages the decoding and display of all video streams.
In addition to optimising the performance of an existing analogue surveillance system encoders make it easy to migrate incrementally and cost-effectively to IP video networking.
