Summary
AlarmInc is a fire
detection system that integrates several devices linked with each other via radiofrequency,
in conjunction with an automated SMS alert to provide a more reliable
and fast detection.
In Honduras several
tragedies have occurred in different markets, prisons and local businesses
leaving large monetary losses, thousands of injured persons and deaths. The
major cause of these events is the lack of an opportune response due to nonexistent
fire detecting systems.
AlarmInc will provide
a centralized system that will allow a more effective detection at a low monetary
cost for crowded and closed environments such as markets. If a fire is detected
all locations will be alarmed allowing prompt evacuation and faster response
from the fire department.
Full Description
Alarm systems are
primarily designed to warn occupants of a fire so that they may safely evacuate
the premises. Some alarm systems that use smoke detectors might produce false
alarms and unnecessary emergency calls. Since AlarmInc uses heat detection algorithms
these inconvenients are vanished providing the best choice for costumers’ safety
and satisfaction.
Our alarm systems are
integrated by interconnected detectors that allow a wide radius of operativity.
This helps to avoid blind spots and warn all the interconnected locations for
immediate fire control response to protect people, assets and the environment. The
interconnection of the devices is done via radiofrequency to allow independence
and wireless capability of all devices.
The basic components
of the alarm system are the detectors and the central messaging system. The
detectors are composed by a temperature sensor, radiofrequency modules, a
buzzer, a reset button and an Atmega 328p-pu microprocessor. This enables
AlarmInc to measure sudden temperature changes and to warn all locations by
activating an acoustic alarm.
The central device consists of the same components as the detectors, with an added GMS module, which sends an SMS with the location of the nearby fire to the firefighting department.

Housing DesignOne of the many advantages of AlarmInc is the possibility to transform under the same functioning principle
into different monitoring systems such as AlarmCO2, AlarmLPG, AlarmFlood.
