Console ports on fire panels

Better yet, I’d love to see modern fire panels with more IP based controls. It would be a dream to just plug a panel into a network and, provided proper security is in place, be able to log into it to program from a web browser. Bonus points if I can back up the programming to the manufacturer’s cloud.

And to be clear, I know IP based panels aren’t entirely nonexistent. Sure, workstation applications exist, but I feel like in our modern world FACP technology is behind still.
