Fire Protection
At Watchmen Security we know you want to be the protector of your employees and tenants in your commercial buildings. Let us help you create the safe working environment that protects you from being a target.
If you’re buying a commercial building or you’re looking to build your own, you need to ensure that you have adequate fire protection on site. Not only do you need to make sure that the occupants of the building are safe, but you also need to meet local building regulations, too. A commercial fire protection system and fire sprinkler system are there to provide safety to people in the building and confirm that you are compliant with your building insurance policy at the same time.
The good news is that you don’t have to spend huge amounts of money to meet the local fire code regulations. At Watchmen Security Services, we’re here to give you the peace of mind that your system is designed on the approved blueprints of your building. Along with your city jurisdiction and your fire department, we’ll work together so that you have every single box checked when it comes to commercial fire protection. We will also be there every year to perform your fire test and inspect annual process for local jurisdictions.
When you need professional advice about your KC fire systems, Watchmen Security Services is on your side. The fire alarm system in your building has to work correctly and our team can communicate with the team managing your fire protection system. Our fire protection systems include a 5-Diamond Triple Redundancy 24/7 Monitoring Station. This technology immediately contacts the local authorities and dispatches them properly as soon as your heat detectors or smoke detectors send an alert.
One of the most important things that you can do in your business is to protect it against fire. It’s about protection for your company assets and your employees. Fire is dangerous; you’re already aware of that. The damage it can cause can lead to business downtime and involve expensive repairs. You need to reduce the potential for further damage and keep your building’s occupants and materials safe.
A fire protection system can be active or passive. Active fire protection systems require action to get underway. This means an alarm must be triggered by the fire detection system before they kick in. A passive fire protection system is there to support your business building at all times. These are in the building providing support to your commercial space without being noticed or activated by a human being.
Consider fireproofed walls and building compartmentalization to have an idea of what we mean. You can include emergency lighting, exit signs, and fire extinguishers as passive fire protection, too. At Watchmen Security Services, we design your system so that both active and passive fire protection systems are deployed and installed into your commercial premises in a timely manner and on budget. We offer a variety of systems so that you get a customized system to meets your needs.

F.A.Q.
The best thing that you can do is to work closely with a fire protection company that will provide you with a range of fire security systems. From design to installation, Watchmen Security systems are here to deliver a full range of fire protection services to actively work with you against fire and protect your business at the same time.
What is a security alarm (intrusion alarm) system?
Intrusion systems are often composed of elements like door contacts, motion detectors and glass breaks. The purpose of an intrusion system is to notify the building owners when a breach has occurred and intruders are attempting to enter a building without permission. Most intrusion systems include a horn or talk down speaker on site and a live monitoring station used to notify building owners and local law enforcement if a dispatch is warranted. A well-designed and installed intrusion system should be considered the bare minimum for any commercial business or building. This scope is fairly simple and most local security companies are capable of installing intrusion systems.
What is a security camera (video surveillance) system?
A commercial video surveillance system or camera security system is the next layer of commercial security. This scope typically includes both outdoor and indoor security cameras tied to a video management system. This scope is where we find a good amount of poor design and installation from our competitors. Our security camera systems are all on cloud-based systems where the customer can view their cameras live on any device. Competitor systems often involve on-site servers and when we arrive to fix their systems we find that many cameras are not even working and the client is not aware of that status. Cloud-based video systems like Eagle Eye provide the best customer experience and are best suited for law enforcement and insurance claims.
What is a door access control system?
A commercial door access system is the best way for commercial buildings and businesses to control who is entering and exiting the building and getting into secure areas. We design and install the Brivo door access system in commercial buildings across the midwest. Brivo is an international company that has been in the cloud-based door access business for over 20 years and currently has over 25 million users. The cloud-based user experience is exceptional and authorized users can track movement from any device anywhere in the U.S. Property Managers love that they can track all of their properties on one pane of glass with Brivo.
What is a fire protection system?
Fire protection is the final security scope provided by Watchmen Security. This scope is often dictated by local municipalities and obviously is an important life safety function of any commercial building.
