Every year fire departments in the U.S. respond to an average of 3,520 motel and hotel structure fires. These fires cause millions of dollars in damage and civilian casualties. Cooking equipment was the main cause of hotel and motel fires and accounted for about half of them. It’s critical to have a way to notify all guests and staff on the property in case of fires and other emergencies. Mass notification systems are the perfect security solution to help hotels and motels notify large amounts of people about dangers and threats on the premises.

The primary goal for hotels is to provide their guests with a safe and enjoyable experience. For hotels, it’s imperative to install a comprehensive security system that secures the property.  But it must be discreet so that it doesn’t interfere with the building’s overall appearance and functionality. Hoteliers should install several vital security systems for maximum protection that can blend in with the environment.

It takes a while to find a security integrator that you trust with the experience necessary to install a security or fire alarm system. Once you purchase the system and the alarm company installs it, the relationship with your alarm company doesn’t just end. There are usually additional services offered because an alarm system requires ongoing maintenance and monitoring.

Experience in project management is critical for proper security system integration and installation in commercial businesses as well as governmental, healthcare, and educational industries. These projects are large in scale, and each one requires customization since no two buildings, facilities, or campuses are the same.  Only an experienced integrator can plan and implement complex projects successfully.

Security is a prime concern for building owners and managers. With multi-family units, there is a constant flow of new tenants and guests. In organizations, there are never-ending streams of employees and visitors. The constant flow of people makes it difficult to restrict access to resident-only spaces and ensure the safety of everyone in public areas.
