Better Technology for Fire Prevention

Whether you own a business or a home, nothing is more devastating then losing everything you have built in a fire. Fire detectors are good for alerting people of smoke, but if there is no one home or at the office, having the fire detector go off will not be of much use. For this reason, one electronic company is developing new technology to ensure that there will be a reduction in loss of property and lives from fire. Viking Electronic Services, developers of the eLAN line networkable fire alarm detection systems and the eSP Business Suite for online system interaction, today kicked off a six-week series of educational seminars across the Western region of the United States.

Designed for fire detection system dealers and end-users, Viking Electronic Services will conduct eleven seminars over the next six weeks in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington. The 90-minute program provides an introduction to the latest advances in fire alarm system technology. Attendees will learn how state-of-the-art networking, Internet accessibility, remote servicing, and plug-and-play technology have been brought together to offer a comprehensive, cost-effective means of providing fire detection networks for business, educational, government and retail campuses of any size.

Viking Electronic Services? eLAN Fire Panel and eSP software empower both dealers and end users with innovative features such as plug-and-play networking, simple graphical multi-panel programming over the Internet, and fire system control via the VES Virtual Panel and an ordinary Web browser on a facility?s local area network. In addition, a single panel footprint keeps inventory, design and installation simple while significantly reducing labor costs. Contractors will appreciate the time and frustration savings achieved through reduced technical training and end users will appreciate the advantages of real-time system management via the Web.
