Fire & Intrusion Alarm Systems – Protect Your Property 24/7
EN54, NFPA compliant fire detection + advanced intrusion protection. Free site survey, certified engineers, and 24/7 support.
What Are Fire & Intrusion Alarm Systems?
Fire alarm systems detect smoke, heat, or flames using sensors (smoke detectors, heat detectors, beam detectors) and manual call points. They alert occupants via sirens, strobes, and voice evacuation, and can automatically notify emergency services. Intrusion alarm systems detect unauthorised entry using motion sensors (PIR), magnetic door contacts, glass-break detectors, and perimeter beams. When triggered, they activate sirens, send notifications to security control rooms or mobile phones, and can be integrated with CCTV cameras. In Egypt, these systems are essential for compliance with Civil Defense regulations (EN54) and for protecting lives and assets in factories, hotels, hospitals, schools, offices, and residential compounds. SISCOM designs, supplies, installs, and maintains fully compliant systems with 24/7 monitoring.
Why Fire & Security Systems Are Essential
Fire Risks
Electrical faults, overheating machinery, or human error can cause devastating fires. Early detection saves lives and reduces damage by up to 70%.
Theft & Vandalism
Intrusion alarms deter break‑ins, protect inventory, and reduce loss. Businesses with monitored alarms see 50% fewer theft incidents.
Business Continuity
A fire or burglary can shut down operations for weeks. A reliable alarm system ensures minimal disruption and faster recovery.
Insurance Benefits
Many insurers offer premium reductions (10–20%) for properties with certified fire and intrusion alarms.
Employee Safety
Fire alarms give workers time to evacuate. Intrusion systems protect night staff and security personnel.
Asset Protection
From raw materials to finished goods, alarms safeguard what matters most to your business.
Types of Fire Alarm Systems
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Each detector has a unique address. The control panel pinpoints exact device location, reducing false alarms and speeding response. Ideal for large buildings (hotels, factories, hospitals).
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Devices are grouped into zones. The panel indicates which zone is active but not the exact device. Cost‑effective for small buildings (shops, offices, clinics).
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
Radio‑linked detectors and call points eliminate cabling. Perfect for heritage buildings, temporary sites, or structures where running cables is difficult. Full EN54 certification available.
Key components: Smoke detectors (optical, ionisation), heat detectors (fixed temperature, rate‑of‑rise), beam detectors (large open areas), manual call points (break‑glass units), fire alarm control panels (FACP), and notification devices (sirens, strobes, voice evac). All SISCOM systems comply with Egyptian Civil Defense requirements based on EN54 (European standard) and NFPA 72.
Types of Security Alarm Systems
Intrusion Alarm Systems
Central panel connected to door/window contacts (magnetic reed switches), PIR motion sensors, and glass‑break detectors. Triggers an audible siren and silent alarm to monitoring station.
Motion Detection Systems
Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors detect body heat movement. Dual‑tech sensors (PIR + microwave) reduce false alarms from pets or environmental changes.
Perimeter Protection Systems
Infrared beams, buried sensors, or fence‑mounted detectors protect the outer boundary. Ideal for warehouses, compounds, and industrial yards.
Glass‑Break Detectors
Acoustic sensors listen for the sound frequency of breaking glass. Installed near windows or glass doors.
Door & Window Sensors
Magnetic contacts report opening/closing. Essential for all entry points – doors, windows, emergency exits.
Features & Benefits of Our Systems
Early Fire Detection
Smoke/heat sensors activate alarms within seconds, allowing evacuation before flames spread.
Instant Mobile Notifications
Receive real‑time alerts on your smartphone (SMS, push, call) for both fire and intrusion events.
24/7 Remote Monitoring
Central monitoring station or your own security team receives signals 24/7. Optional police/fire dispatch.
Remote Access & Arming
Arm/disarm intrusion system, view fire panel status, and review event logs from any web browser or app.
CCTV Integration
When an alarm triggers, nearby CCTV cameras automatically record and send video clips to the control room.
Reduced False Alarms
Advanced detectors with anti‑masking, dual‑technology motion sensors, and adjustable sensitivity.
Civil Defense Compliance
We design systems that meet EN54 standards and help you obtain required approvals from Egyptian authorities.
Scalable Design
Start with a basic system and expand later – add detectors, zones, or wireless devices as your needs grow.
Fire Alarm vs Security Alarm – Key Differences
| Feature | Fire Alarm System | Intrusion Alarm System |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Detect smoke, heat, or fire | Detect unauthorised entry |
| Sensors | Smoke, heat, beam detectors; manual call points | PIR, magnetic contacts, glass‑break, vibration |
| Alerts | Loud sirens, strobe lights, voice evacuation | Siren, silent alarm to monitoring station, mobile notification |
| Integration | Fire suppression (sprinklers, gas), HVAC shutdown | CCTV, access control, lighting automation |
| Compliance | EN54, NFPA 72, Egyptian Civil Defense | Local standards (no mandatory certification but recommended) |
Many modern facilities integrate both systems into a single security management platform (PSIM). SISCOM provides unified solutions for total protection.
