The Connect ONE® cloud platform from Connected Technologies has expanded its commercial fire alarm integration with new GeoView Mapping capabilities and enhanced event monitoring for Edwards, Notifier/Firelite, and Mircom fire alarm control panels. The upgrade solidifies Connect ONE as a unified, intelligent building management solution combining fire, security, and environmental systems.
Unified Event Management Across Security and Fire
The latest platform enhancements deliver a more streamlined and centralized approach to emergency communications and building operations. Users gain real-time visibility and cohesive control across fire and security systems through a single cloud-based dashboard.
Key Enhancements
- Environmental monitoring using temperature, humidity, and CO₂ sensors through the same gateway connected to the fire alarm control panel.
- Real-time notifications via email, SMS, or mobile app push alerts.
- Unified fire and security event handling supported by integrated mass notification capabilities.
Advanced GeoView Mapping for Real-Time Visualization
The new GeoView Mapping integration enables users to create virtual zones and map points to satellite views or facility floor plans for immediate, at-a-glance system awareness. Fire alarm zone and point data update automatically through full-data capture from the control panel’s printer output via a serial network gateway.
GeoView—an award-winning Google Maps–powered feature—offers point-and-click access to alarms, cameras, door controls, and outputs in a single interface. Overlays combine satellite imagery, floor layouts, and live video streams, providing operators complete situational awareness during critical events.
