Fire Reporting
Monitor, report & manage your fire alarm systems, regardless of panel manufacturer
CrossTalk 3 is based on the Niagara 4 framework and is a web-based multivendor graphical reporting system with dedicated alarm reporting and managements client. This tool allows users to control and monitor all the fire alarm systems within a building as well as providing an open platform for integration of many other systems onsite, such as BMS and security.
Too many businesses do not communicate the importance of responding to fire alarms but it is vital that everyone takes appropriate action as soon as an alert is sounded. Seconds matter and any delay can result in injury, property damage and even loss of life
Monitor, report & manage your fire alarm systems, regardless of panel manufacturer
Based on Niagara4, CrossTalk3.1 is a web-based multi-vendor graphical reporting system with dedicated alarm reporting & management client. It allows users, engineers & managers to control and monitor all the fire alarm systems in the building or campus as well as providing an open platform for integration of many other systems on site, such as BMS & Security.
CrossTalk in its original PC based incarnation has been serving large and small sites for the last 20 years. By building CrossTalk on top of Niagara, we have taken all the dedicated, brilliant features and benefits from it’s predecessor, including the dedicated reporting and alarm management in the form of our own dedicated browser and alarm management user interface for Windows and Linux. The client can be customised to play sounds and reveal custom actions messages for specific devices or panels. The web based custom user interface provides our isolation manager feature as well as the active device viewer, and more.

Integrate your CCTV
CrossTalk3.1 is primarily a fire reporting and management tool, however the integration capabilities of this system are very powerful. As your system grows, CrossTalk3.1 has the ability to integrate CCTV monitoring and reporting onto the same system, giving your building a new sense of control, monitoring and safety. There is also the option to only have running CCTV when alarm is triggered. As the alarm sounds, CCTV is activated allowing instant vision of the alarm. This is perfect to find out if there is a fire on site or if it is a false alarm set off by cooking etc.
Leak detection with alerting system
Another available addition to CrossTalk3.1 is leak detection. If your building or campus also looks after or is in danger of flooding, leak detectors can be installed and integrated onto the same system. This can range from CO2 sensors, water sensors or any type of leak detection.
Fire reporting
Reports & alarms can be sent anywhere you require, along with instructions on how to react
CrossTalk3.1 helps the likes of Universities, hospitals and other multiple building campus’s by showing every alarm in each building on one system.
By showing each alarm, more complex buildings, where evacucation is based on staged or phased evacuation, or if only one of the buildings need to be evacuated, CrossTalk3.1 reports alarms directly to a chosen location.
When the alarm is reported, a clear message with instructions is sent to a chosen location, for example:
Fire alarm 323 is set off.
message to reception – “Building 3, floor 2, room 3 FIRE alarm sounded. Phone fire brigade, clear building 3”
