Risk Assessments
We review the building, the fire alarm and the systems around it to find failing devices, coverage gaps and weak interfaces. The result is a practical, prioritized plan.
Most facilities don't know what state their fire alarm is really in until an inspection fails or a device stops reporting. An IPS assessment gives you that picture first. We walk the building, review the panel and its trouble history, check how fire ties into doors, video and access control, and hand you a prioritized list of what to fix, replace or leave alone. The assessment is obligation-free and it is not a code inspection. Compliance decisions stay with your AHJ.
Assessment first, then design, installation and support for fire and security systems in commercial and public-sector buildings.
We review the building, the fire alarm and the systems around it to find failing devices, coverage gaps and weak interfaces. The result is a practical, prioritized plan.
A structured review of existing panels, devices and documentation that shows what needs repair or replacement. Code compliance is determined by your AHJ, not by our audit.
We connect fire alarm outputs to access control, door hardware and video, so doors release and events are recorded the way your life-safety plan intends.
For the security systems we support, the IPS NOC checks device health and cybersecurity controls and sends notifications when something fails. Fire alarm signal monitoring comes from a third-party central station.
Assessment findings become a design with spare capacity for future changes, whether you are upgrading an existing building or planning a new one.
Support programs provide preventative maintenance, technical help, a documented system history, training resources and priority response.
The findings that matter most are rarely visible from the lobby. We often find panels past manufacturer support, trouble signals everyone has learned to ignore, and egress doors whose fire release was never tested after a hardware change. Batteries past their date and communicators still on copper lines come up too. An IPS assessment puts those on one list with a sensible order of work, so you can fix the highest-risk items first and budget the rest.
You get one review of fire and security systems together, from people who will install and support what they recommend.
The system assessment carries no obligation to buy anything from IPS.
We review fire alarm interfaces with doors, access control and video in the same visit.
Findings are ranked by risk and cost, so you can plan the work across budget cycles.
Support programs include two preventative maintenance visits per contract year.

We walk the building and review the fire alarm panel, its age and parts support, device condition, trouble and alarm history, batteries and communicator. We also check how fire interfaces with access control, door hardware and video. You get a prioritized list of findings. Where it helps, we look at the security systems at the same time, since those tie-ins are where problems often hide.
