On the Norwegian Escape, I've seen some Roshni sounders in common areas, though I'm unsure if those are actually connected to the call points (there's a video somewhere on YouTube of them going off when the emergency doors are shutting). I imagine it sends a signal to the bridge, and if it's in a s...

I'm not sure about the code in MA, but as far as I know the national code requires new voice evac systems in schools.

The trick to getting the distinct sound you hear (with the exception of residential smoke alarms) is to use a microprocessor to regulate the pitch, sound, and volume. For that reason, t...

Hey there! Thanks for checking in with us. It's nice to have some of of the older community members stop by and say hi. Wow, those are certainly some very cool things you are doing there!

Hey all, My cousin is looking into security system options for his home. He mentioned that while he's open to having a professional install an actual system, he would like to do it himself through DIY options. What are your thoughts on these systems? I'm on the edge since I've heard stories about pe...
