FIRE
Praetorian Systems Group has partnered with leading manufacturers of fire alarm systems such as Silent Knight, Firelite, Ademco and others to offer your business the leading technologies in life safety and property protection. We know that simplicity is key when developing a system for your particular business; therefore, we custom tailor each solution with reliable, proven systems.

We work with architects and engineers developing new properties to design their fire alarm systems. Praetorian maintains a staff that is certified by NICET and by the manufacturers of the systems that we install to provide expertise on code interpretation and system capabilities. We provide system design and installation services at all stages of a building’s needs, whether it be new construction, renovation or an existing facility.

Our personnel have experience working with all levels of authorities having jusridiction. These are the local fire departments, the city life safety and electrical authorities, property insurance companies, and even the building owners themselves. Requirements for fire alarm systems vary depending on the situation, so we always consult with the authorities to provide exactly what is needed in each situation.

We offer full turnkey solutions of fire alarms, and we also work with electrical contractors by providing them with fire alarm designs, materials and expertise to allow them to install fire alarms. In both cases, we design and permit the systems. Once the installation is complete, we inspect our systems with the fire department and have them certified.

INTRUSION

Praetorian Systems Group offers businesses assurance that they are constantly protected from unwanted intruders. We strive to stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends in the security industry to be able to design the best possible solution for your needs. Our installation personnel are certified alarm technicians who have been trained to install security systems in the most secure and aesthetic manner possible.

Our design practices start with a survey of the property and an interview with the customer to determine the risks to be addressed. Our intrusion systems are always tailored to suit the individual needs of the property. To ensure the most secure environment possible, we not only design and install the intrusion detection system, we also work with the customer to suggest personnel tactics and training to complement the system.

ACCESS CONTROL

Praetorian offers access control solutions for a variety of situations. An access control solution can be as simple as a scheduled lock on a front door or it can be a complex system throughout a building that allows certain personnel access to particular areas in the building. These systems can also be used to track who enters what areas and when. We can also design an access solution that interfaces with your companies time-clock systems.

Access control systems can have an impact on a building’s egress paths and life-safety requirements. Because of this, we maintain a staff that is knowledgeable of building and life safety codes. Praetorian submits plans for our access control solutions to building authorities for review of compliance with adopted codes and inspects the systems upon completion with local building code officials. These steps are critical to ensure the safety of building occupants.

VIDEO SECURITY

Praetorian Systems Group offers video surveillance systems as an added means of security for your business. Surveillance systems are commonly used for many different applications including property protection, theft prevention, liability issues with employees, and even monitoring of industrial processes. Camera systems are often integrated with intercom and access control solutions to enhance perimeter security.

Video security technology has grown by leaps and bounds since the days of recording to VCR tapes. The systems that we install record all video to computer hard drives, eliminating the need for tapes. The digital video recorders we use have the capability to be remotely viewed over the internet or local area networks. Any events captured on camera can easily be backed up to CD, DVD, or other media and they are watermarked to provide court admissible evidence of the event.

Our camera systems have helped to catch criminals in Birmingham breaking and entering protected premises, vandalizing property and even a recent abduction of a Birmingham attorney that took place in a parking lot that has our cameras installed. We have the experience and track record to design and install surveillance systems that will provide you with the sense of security that you are looking for.

INTEGRATION

Praetorian Systems Group realizes that sometimes, in order to present the highest level of security, it is necessary to integrate the different security systems installed. Examples of integrated systems include cameras that activate when an intrusion sensor is tripped, access-controlled doors that release when a fire alarm activates or even a camera bringing up video of a fire alarm detector that has been activated.

Building systems other than security systems can also be integrated. Fire alarms typically are required to control air handling units in buildings. Intercom systems can be integrated with access control and video to provide greater perimeter security. Almost any automated building function can be tied to security or other systems for a truly smart building.

Praetorian offers our expertise to evaluate the systems in your building and to present you with options to make your security and everyday routines easier and more efficient.
