Description

The present invention relates to a wide area warning system that detects and warns an abnormality such as a fire by an alarm device installed in a building such as a wide area house such as a municipal unit.

Conventionally, fire alarms for houses that detect and warn a fire in a house have become widespread. In such a fire alarm, a sensor unit and an alarm unit are integrally provided in the alarm, and when a fire is detected by smoke or heat, a fire alarm is issued, and the fire alarm alone monitors the fire. Because it can give an alarm, it is easy to install and inexpensive, and it has become widespread with the mandatory installation in general houses.

In addition, by communicating with each other between multiple fire alarms, when a fire alarm is output by any fire alarm, the fire alarm is also output in conjunction with other fire alarms. The wireless interlocking fire alarm system has also been put into practical use and has become widespread.

In addition, there is no obligation to install an automatic fire alarm system in a condominium with a floor area of less than 500 square meters, and a fire alarm for the house is installed. For example, a wireless interlocking fire alarm is installed in each room in the dwelling unit. It is common practice to install and link.

Furthermore, a wide area monitoring system that monitors fires for fire alarms installed in houses such as urban areas is being considered, and fire alarms can be accessed from access points and terminal adapters of wireless networks such as WiFi (registered trademark) networks. Connected to the server via the Internet, the terminal position information indicating the installation location (installed house) of the fire alarm is registered in advance in the server, and a fire breaks out when a fire detection signal is received from the fire alarm. Acquires the terminal position information indicating the house, searches the pre-registered linked house located around the house where the fire broke out from the terminal position information, sends a fire warning signal to the linked dwelling unit, and is near by the fire alarm. An interlocking alarm indicating the occurrence of a fire is output to encourage prompt evacuation actions.
