Island Fire & Security was established in 2022 with an aim to offer a specialist service to commercial and residential premises on everything Life Safety & Security. With over 30 years of combined knowledge, and a lot of it being the "Modern era" of the Fire and Security world, we want to use our knowledge to get the best out of your systems. Whether that's a system Island Fire & Security should design and install for you, or taking over from a current maintainer who maybe just can't grasp your specialist installation, we're here to help.
Take a look below at some of our provided services.
With our knowledge in the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance realms we are able to take on any project no matter the complexity. Our expertise will ensure your new or existing building is covered to the current standards, if a new system is to be installed. Or an existing system which is needing a new lease of life, will be restored.
We are specialists in your big manufacturers which most companies cannot grasp, and we are here today to make a difference for you.
EVC Systems - you'll pass one in almost every building, and hopefully it's something you'll never have to use. But it's paramount these are kept well maintained to avoid any disruption should they be called upon. An EVC system provides that vital communication lifeline around your building should the unthinkable happen, so it needs to be well maintained to British Standards. We are able to design, install, commission and maintain these systems to the highest levels of service and standard.
BS8629:2019 You Say? This may be a new Standard to some, but it's a very important one. Given recent light of building fires within the UK and beyond, and just how tragic they can be. We, collectively, as responsible persons want to keep the occupants within as protected as we can. Evacuation systems are a great method to assist your local Fire Brigade to control the buildings evacuation process to their personal risk assessment, and with that hopefully mitigating that worst case scenario. We've got good experience in this realm, and we've worked on many systems in our time. Contact us today, to see how we can help.
Unlike the Evacuation System a PA/VA system allows for much more control and clarity during emergencies or incidents which is why they're very common on commercial buildings. It's paramount that these systems go in correctly, especially when utilising physical network layers such as Fiber Optic as any bad configuration could deteriorate the systems STI levels. We've worked with multiple manufacturers and multiple configurations from a single rack system to a multiple rack system on a Fiber redundant ring so feel we have the knowledge to help tackle the larger projects out there
Access Control Systems will always be a necessity for commercial and residential buildings for years to come. With Access control systems being heavily IP based and the logic to go with them its fortunate that IFS have a vast IT and IP networking background in general to allow for optimal configuration. We also take great pleasure in neat and organised panels so be rest assured when we're involved it's going to be a high standard from start to finish.
Intercom systems are not only useful systems for a residential building to save the need for a concierge service, they're also a big part in building security for both residential and commercial developments. With Intercom systems predominantly being of the IP discipline they're not something that are designed, installed, commissioned, or maintained correctly so they turn into a logistical nightmare. Fortunately we're specialist's in IP & IT which is where Intercom systems fall direct into the realm of.
CCTV systems allow a great vantage point for on-site security. With projects around the UK getting larger its only right that the CCTV system installations become more vast. It can become quite daunting when you have to design a larger CCTV system as it's not a case of plug and play at this level. Network topologies and throughput need to be investigated to ensure the network will run with minimal amounts of jitter resulting in congestion and a reduction in network performance/CCTV operation. With our experience of large control room installations and a good networking background overall we will ensure the system is running to its best ability.
Networks within developments come in all shapes and forms. Some networks carry all information across a single plane of switches, this system being called a converged network or in some scenarios you have two complete separate networks to allow better throughput and security. IFS have worked on a wide range of network topologies, and it's something we take great pleasure in working on. Whether you need a new network system brought into situ, or you wish to have an existing one reviewed and subsequently maintained, you know where to find us.
