Silent Knight Continues Fire Alarm Technology and Code Seminar Tour

  • Aug 17, 2011

Silent Knight by Honeywell has expanded its U.S. tour of free fire alarm technology and code seminars following numerous requests from engineers, AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) and facility managers seeking accredited education on code requirements and fire alarm technology. The half-day seminars will qualify attendees for 4.5 CPDs (Continuing Professional Development) units.

Each seminar will cover the major changes incorporated in the 2010 version of NFPA-72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code and their application to the design, installation and testing of fire alarm systems. Real-world applications and the technology behind today's advanced fire alarm networks, detection devices and audio intelligibility solutions will be presented by fire protection experts from Silent Knight and System Sensor. Honeywell Analytics will also cover the function of gas and flame detectors and their cost-effective and environmentally-friendly benefits.

"Over 500 architects, engineers, AHJs and Silent Knight Farenhyt Distributors attended our free, educational seminars. We provided valuable information about new technologies and the latest NFPA codes and standards. The interest in the seminar was so great, many are already asking us back to present next year," said Mike Fischer, Silent Knight's V.P. of sales. "I think the popularity of this seminar is due to the fact we pack a lot of new and practical information into four hours and provide both CEUs and professional development credits."

  • 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.
