Live fire alarm monitoring across every building in your estate. SafeVue connects to the fire alarm panels already installed in your buildings and puts the live state of all of them in your pocket. For anyone responsible for fire safety across more than one building, the problem is rarely that nothing was detected. It is that the panel could only tell the room it was standing in. SafeVue closes that gap. Know immediately - Live alarms, faults and isolations across every site. Alerts give you information on the building, the zone, the device and the cause not just βthere is an alarmβ. Act from where you are - Acknowledge, classify, add notes and photographs at the scene. Handle several events at once. Every action carries your name and a timestamp. Keep testing on track - See what is due, overdue and coming up by building. Drill into every device for Pass, Fail or No Access, and mark groups of devices from the list. See the record - Classification, actions, notes and photographs in one event history, shared with the web platform. SafeVue requires an active account. Speak to your administrator if you do not have one.
