What is UNE 23007-14 and why does everybody mention it?
It is the standard that says how a detection and alarm system is designed, installed, commissioned and maintained. CTE and RSCIEI say whether it is needed; UNE 23007-14 says where each detector goes, how much area it covers, how the building is divided into zones, what is checked at commissioning and what is done at each inspection. RIPCI refers to it, so it is not a good-practice recommendation.
The numbers a project is argued over come from it: the area one detector watches, the maximum distance from any point to the nearest detector, the ceiling height above which a point detector stops being any use, the maximum size of a zone and how far you can have to walk inside one looking for the element that went off.
It is also the one requiring that every detector be tested within a twelve-month period. Maintenance limited to looking at the control panel does not meet that part, and it is the easiest to spot by reading a certificate.

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.
