Conventional vs. Addressable Fire Alarm Systems – Which One is Right for You?
Fire alarm systems are one of the most important components of any safety setup. But when choosing one, people often struggle between conventional and addressable systems. Both have their advantages, and the right choice depends on your property type, budget, and safety requirements.
Conventional fire alarms are simple, affordable, and suitable for smaller spaces such as shops, small offices, or residential buildings. They divide the premises into zones, and when an alarm is triggered, you know the zone but not the exact location of the fire.
On the other hand, addressable fire alarms are more advanced. Every device in the system has its own digital address, allowing the control panel to show the exact location of the triggered device. This precision makes them ideal for large commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial plants.
While conventional systems are cheaper to install, addressable systems offer faster response and higher accuracy, potentially saving more lives and reducing property damage.
