Infinity ID2 Fire Alarm System

Being responsible for a large property requires protecting your employees or tenants against the risk of fire. Fire alarm systems ensure that if a fire were to break out, you would be able to alert everyone with your addressable fire alarm or commercial fire alarm.

Commercial fire alarms are ideal for commercial properties looking to guard against fire risks. A commercial fire alarm system will have certain features including identifying the zone which may have triggered the alarm off.

An addressable fire alarm system goes one step further and is able to identify the actual detector that was set off, giving you the opportunity to investigate the cause. For this reason, addressable systems are more popular, with the additional feature of naming certain detectors.
