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

Fire alarm control panel and detectors - SISCOM Egypt

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fire alarm system?
A fire alarm system detects smoke, heat, or flames using sensors and manual call points. It alerts occupants and can notify emergency services automatically.
What is an intrusion alarm system?
An intrusion alarm system detects unauthorized entry using door/window contacts, motion sensors, glass‑break detectors, and perimeter beams. It activates sirens and sends alerts.
What is the difference between addressable and conventional fire alarms?
Addressable systems identify the exact detector that triggered the alarm, speeding up response. Conventional systems only indicate which zone (circuit) is active, so more troubleshooting is needed.
How much does a fire alarm system cost in Egypt?
Cost depends on building size, number of devices, type (conventional vs addressable), and integration. Contact SISCOM for a free site survey and custom quote.
Do alarm systems work during power outages?
Yes, all our systems include battery backups (minimum 24 hours). For longer outages, we can integrate UPS or generator connection.
Can alarm systems integrate with CCTV?
Absolutely. When a fire or intrusion alarm triggers, nearby CCTV cameras can start recording, and the control room receives live video verification.
What are EN54 requirements?
EN54 is a European standard for fire alarm systems, adopted by Egyptian Civil Defense. It covers components like detectors, control panels, and sounders to ensure reliability.
How often should alarm systems be maintained?
We recommend a full inspection every 6 months (semi‑annual) and battery testing every 3 months. Maintenance contracts cover cleaning, sensitivity checks, and software updates.
Can I receive alerts on my mobile phone?
Yes. Our intrusion panels and modern fire control panels can send SMS, push notifications, or automated voice calls to your phone.
What is a PIR motion sensor?
Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor detects body heat movement. Used in intrusion systems. Dual‑tech (PIR+microwave) reduces false alarms.
What is a glass‑break detector?
An acoustic sensor that listens for the specific frequency of breaking glass. Installed near windows or glass doors.
What is a magnetic door contact?
Two magnetic reed switches that report when a door or window is opened. The most basic and essential intrusion detection device.
What is a manual call point?
A red break‑glass unit that allows anyone to manually activate the fire alarm. Placed near exits and escape routes.
What is a beam detector?
A projected infrared beam that detects smoke across large open spaces (atriums, warehouses, aircraft hangars). It triggers when smoke obscures the beam.
What brands do you use?
We work with genuine equipment from Bosch, Honeywell, Notifier, Siemens, ZKTeco, Hikvision, and Dahua – all certified and supported in Egypt.
Do you offer wireless fire alarms?
Yes, EN54 certified wireless systems are available for buildings where cabling is difficult or for heritage sites.
Can you combine fire and intrusion in one panel?
Some advanced panels support both, but typically they are separate for safety compliance. We integrate them via software for unified monitoring.
Do you help with Civil Defense approval?
Yes, we provide full design documentation, equipment certificates, and as‑built drawings to help you obtain approval from Egyptian Civil Defense.
How long does installation take?
Small to medium projects (offices, shops) take 2–5 days. Large industrial sites or hotels may take 2–4 weeks, planned to minimise disruption.
How do I request a free site survey?
Call us, send a WhatsApp message, or email. One of our engineers will visit your premises, assess risks, and provide a detailed proposal – no cost, no obligation.
