Many experts believe that most of the newly installed fire alarm systems of the future will also include mass notification:The reasons for including a voice component are fairly straightforward: it's no longer appropriate for a fire alarm system to only set off strobes and sirens indicating people in a building should evacuate. Now, these systems must be able to direct building occupants on what to do and where to go during a multitude of potential emergencies. For example, during an active shooter incident, campus officials might need to tell occupants to shelter in place. For a hurricane, the verbal instructions might be for students, staff, patients and visitors to move away from windows and into the building's interior or basement. Additionally, instructions might vary from building to building. What System is Right for You?The method of determining what should be installed or upgraded, however, should not be haphazard. An assessment and long-term plan are needed in order for a campus to select the most appropriate fire alarm system. MFS Systems can assist you in planning and deployment of your new or upgraded Mass Notification System.

Fire ProtectionAn automatic fire alarm system is designed to detect the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. In general, a fire alarm system is classified as either automatically actuated, manually actuated, or both. Automatic fire alarm systems are intended to notify the building occupants to evacuate in the event of a fire or other emergency, report the event to an off-premises location in order to summon emergency services, and to prepare the structure and associated systems to control the spread of fire and smoke.

Burglar Alarm ServicesBurglar alarms are electronic alarms designed to alert the user to a specific danger. Sensors are connected to a control unit via low-voltage wiring or a narrowband RF signal which is used to interact with a response device. The most common security sensors are used to indicate the opening of a door or window or detect motion via passive infrared (PIR). New construction systems are predominantly hardwired for economy. Retrofit installations often use wireless systems for a faster, more economical installation. Some systems serve a single purpose of burglar or fire protection. Combination systems provide both fire and intrusion protection. Systems range from small, self-contained noisemakers, to complicated, multi-zoned systems with color-coded computer monitor outputs.Burglar alarms (or perimeter security systems, perimeter detection systems, Perimeter protection, intrusion detection systems and many more terms for the same thing) are divided to two main fields: home burglar alarms and industrial burglar and perimeter intrusion detection.Installation, Maintenance/Service Contracts, Inspections, Monitoring:MFS Systems LLC provides residential and commercial/industrial Burglar Alarm Security System installation, service and monitoring.

System Design:Access control systems (ACS) manage entrances and exits. They improve security by restricting entry to only those who can prove their right to enter, and by monitoring and recording the actions of those who exercise that right.The choice of a suitable access system for a particular situation is not easy. Every application is different and the systems must be matched to that particular application. When selecting a system, it is much more important to establish how satisfactorily it would work in your application rather than what system has more functions than another.It's also important to carefully consider the life safety implications of the installation of access control systems. The first concept to grasp is that while access into a building can be denied or controlled, the egress or ability to leave a building cannot be impeded or unduly delayed. If the building is on fire, people in the building must be able to leave quickly without fumbling for keys or access control credentials. The key to the proper design of access control life safety functions is to have a clear understanding of the particular Authority Having Jurisdictions requirements and his interpretation of national and local building codes. Our staff has over 30 years' experience installing access control in South Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania.Remote Managed Systems:A growing trend is the implementation of Remote Managed Systems with the use of Web Browser Software.
