System Assessment
An obligation-free review of your panel, devices, trouble history and interfaces. It tells you what can stay, what needs replacing and what to budget for first. Code compliance remains with your AHJ.
Fire alarm technology has changed a lot in the last decade. Addressable panels report which device is in alarm, and multi-criteria detectors cut nuisance alarms. Copper phone lines that carried alarm signals are being retired. IPS helps commercial and public-sector buildings choose the right mix of panel, detection, notification and communicator. We then install it, test it and support it after closeout, and we coordinate the work with access control and video where the building needs it.
Assessment, design, installation and support for the panels, detectors and communicators in your building.
An obligation-free review of your panel, devices, trouble history and interfaces. It tells you what can stay, what needs replacing and what to budget for first. Code compliance remains with your AHJ.
We select panel, detection, notification and communicator technology for each space. Then we install and test it with your occupants in mind, and the system is not closed out until you have accepted the installation and training.
Preventative maintenance visits, documented service history, priority support and training resources after installation. Alarm signal monitoring is arranged through a third-party central station you contract with.
The panel you pick decides who can service your system for as long as it stays on the wall. Before you replace one, ask three questions. Will you receive the site programming files and passwords at handover? Can other qualified contractors service the panel, or is it closed? What will the communicator use once your copper lines are gone? We walk through those trade-offs with you, and then design, install and support the system.
We choose fire alarm technology based on how your building runs and who will service it.

A technician installs, programs, tests and troubleshoots panels, detectors, pull stations and notification appliances. Much of the job is diagnosis: tracing a ground fault, finding the dirty detector behind a recurring trouble signal, or checking why a door release didn't drop. At IPS the same technicians who install a system can support it afterward, which helps because they already know how it was wired and programmed.
