Questions · Intruder detection
Can I have intruder detection, fire detection and video in the same building and on the same screen?
On the same screen, yes; on the same system, no. Fire detection is an independent installation, with its own regulations, its own loops and its own control panel, and its devices are not hung off the intruder zones.
What is done, and it is where the value is, is making them talk to each other: the fire trigger releases the doors it should and silences what has to be silenced; an intrusion brings up the cameras in that zone and sends the image with the alert; the access control tells the alarm that whoever has just come in had permission. Where the piece of software exists it is done in software, and where it does not, with volt-free contacts, which is old, cheap and works. What matters is that somebody is given the job of thinking about the three of them together.
And a limit worth being clear about: in fire, what we design and maintain is the detection, which is electronic. Water suppression —sprinklers, hose reels, pump sets— is mentioned because you have to take it into account to understand the whole, but it is not our part.

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.
