The fire department alarm system is accessed using a web application – no cumbersome software installation, and content can be accessed across platforms on different end devices and their browser application. A standard monitor or TV connected to a basic computer system or minicomputer will do – an alarm monitor system without expensive hardware.
The EAM provides numerous options for flexibly displaying information. The content is organized using "widgets" - these are graphical windows which can be individually placed and configured on the user interface of the EAM via drag & drop. Depending on which information is deemed particularly important, the view can be freely configured.
Not only can the individual widgets be placed freely, but the corresponding content can also be adjusted. Map elements along with operational information such as water drafting points can be precisely represented as can the travel route, the GPS position of vehicles, or the alarm text. External content can also be transmitted to the alarm monitor (e.g. via I-Frames from the internet). If a fire department is using multiple alarm monitors, the configurations can be saved in separate profiles and called up on different monitors.
