New Honeywell Life Safety Web Site Features ECS Solutions

  • Dec 17, 2010

The ability to provide real-time information to all building occupants or personnel in the vicinity of a building during emergency situations has become a critical concern for those who manage and safeguard facilities and their occupants.

As a result, interest in Emergency Communications Systems (ECSs) and Mass Notification Systems (MNSs) is growing rapidly. But with this accelerated growth comes confusion. To help building owners, facility managers, architects, engineers, and end users keep up with evolving codes and standards, best practices, and solutions, Honeywell Life Safety has launched http://www.emergency-communications-systems.com.

This new website is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on all aspects of ECS, from its roots in military mass notification mandates to the latest solutions that meet communications, signaling, and intelligibility requirements for typical applications. Visitors can also tap into the Honeywell Fire Systems Group Services capabilities for design and applications services.

A complete, integrated life safety solution has been shown to be a very effective means to notify occupants of the necessary response and appropriate action to take in the event of an emergency. By basing systems on its existing commercial Fire Alarm and Signaling platforms, Honeywell Life Safety provides timely, high-performing solutions to the marketplace. Significant solutions are provided on the website through available NOTIFIER by Honeywell, Gamewell-FCI by Honeywell, and System Sensor offerings.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
