Modern fire alarm systems use advanced, networked technology and are often powered through low-voltage or Cat6 cables. Addressable devices—such as smoke detectors and pull stations—communicate directly with the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), allowing for faster, more accurate alerts. Many systems now support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), reducing wiring needs and simplifying installation. This IP-based approach improves reliability, scalability, and integration with other building safety systems. These systems can also connect with emergency lighting and voice evacuation for a coordinated response. With real-time monitoring and remote access, fire protection is now smarter and more responsive than ever.
