Questions · Fire detection
Who does the alert reach? Is the fire brigade called?
First the people inside, and that is the only thing the regulation always guarantees: sounders, messages and visual signals. Then whoever is named in the building plan: the duty manager, the guard, the maintenance mobile. And if there is a monitoring contract, an alarm receiving centre, which verifies and calls 112.
The fire brigade does not get it directly. In Spain there is, as a general rule, no connection from the fire alarm panel to the fire station: the one who calls is a person or the alarm receiving centre, by telephone. That is why the part of the alerting that gets neglected most is not technical, it is organisational: having it written down who calls, with what details, who opens the door, where the drawings are and what is done while they are on their way.
Neither RIPCI nor CTE require, as a general rule, that detection be connected to an alarm receiving centre. The insurance policy and some activity licences often do ask for it, and it is worth it whenever the building spends hours with nobody inside. What has to be tested on handover day, with the phone in front of you, is that the signal arrives, that it identifies the right site, and what happens if nobody answers.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
