Life Safety & Security Systems: Balancing Sensitivity for Optimal Safety

Automated life safety systems, seamlessly integrated within a building automation system (BAS), promise vast improvements in emergency detection and response. However, achieving optimal safety depends on striking the right balance of sensitivity within these systems. An overly sensitive system risks flooding operators with a barrage of false alarms, potentially leading to complacency and a dangerous "cry wolf" scenario where genuine incidents go unnoticed. On the other...
