Conventional Vs Addressable Fire Alarm Systems

Addressable fire alarm systems pinpoint the specific device activated when a fire occurs, as each device has its own unique address. They are more reliable and sophisticated than conventional systems as they are software-based. However, addressable systems are costly to buy while conventional systems are cheaper to purchase but more expensive to install due to requiring more labor, time and cabling.
