Zone-based detection
Accurate identification of the area and event type.
Detection and alerts
Integrated alarms to detect, notify and trigger a response
An effective alarm detects a condition, communicates it reliably and activates a procedure. Intrusion and fire require different technologies, standards and responses, even when monitored from one platform.
What problem does it solve?
Poorly positioned sensors, unmaintained areas and unmonitored communications cause failures and false alarms. The system must be designed for the building, its use and its criticality.
Coverage in Argentina: TECA designs and integrates projects for businesses, industries, institutions and distributed operations in Buenos Aires and other regions of Argentina.
Expected outcomes
Reliable alerts
Sirens, communications and notifications with fault supervision.
Integration
Connection with video, access control, monitoring and emergency procedures.
What we assess before implementation
- Building risk, occupancy and layout
- Sensor types and coverage by zone
- Applicable standards and competent authorities
- Communications, backup power, testing and maintenance
Important limitation: Fire protection systems must be designed and maintained according to applicable standards and requirements. Integration does not replace mandatory certifications or inspections.
How we work
- Assessment of risks, operations and existing infrastructure.
- Design of architecture, coverage, communications and integration.
- Installation, configuration and testing using representative scenarios.
- Documentation, training and maintenance criteria.
Frequently asked questions
Can the alarm notify my phone?
It can send notifications, but primary communications and monitoring must include redundancy according to the risk.
Can it integrate with cameras?
Yes. When an alarm is triggered, video from the area can be displayed for verification and recording.
How often should it be tested?
Frequency depends on the system, applicable regulations and criticality; a documented testing and maintenance plan is required.
Do intrusion and fire systems use the same control panel?
They may share supervision, but fire functions and requirements must remain separate and comply with their relevant standards.
