IP Based CCTV in Ireland – The security and surveillance world is moving from analogue to IP (Internet Protocol) video. More and more, people and organisations are looking for an IP-based solution. The benefits include higher-resolution video, greater intelligence and more flexibility. And the system is relatively easy to install.
With network video, there is almost no limit to where video can be captured or watched. IP video can be easily integrated into existing IT and communication infrastructures. That means you can use available networks, as well as hardware and software. In brief, both live and recorded video footage can be delivered whenever and wherever you want it.
What’s the difference between an addressable and a non-addressable fire alarm system?
A standard non-addressable fire alarm system usually includes a fire alarm control panel (FACP). This receives information from devices throughout the property that detect changes associated with fire, such as smoke. Generally a map of the building, placed at a strategic location, shows zones and indicators that illuminate when there is a fire in a particular zone.
An addressable fire alarm system is much more advanced. It has more programming flexibility and single-point detection. Common programming features are fire-door release, signalling to other types of fire equipment such as sprinkler systems, door access control override to assist evacuation, phased evacuation for multi-level buildings, smoke damper shutdown, and monitoring station alert.
