The Challenge

Unfortunately, in February 2005 a fire started at the Tauranga Methodist Church due to a candle not having been properly extinguished. To insure the church for the future a reliable and hassle-free alarm monitoring system was required for security and emergency situations.

The Solution

An EDAC 222-02 unit was installed eight years ago to help in the protection of Tauranga's St Stephens Methodist Church assets. It needed to be a monitoring solution that was reliable, cost-effective and would notify someone if an emergency situation arose such as a fire or security breach.

The Outcomes and Results

EDAC dialler technology provides peace of mind concerning asset safety. It can be integrated into existing alarm systems with relative ease. If a fire occurs, the security and smoke alarms trigger which activate the EDAC 222-02 to automatically contact appropriate people in close vicinity to react to the emergency. The Church building was saved with minimal damage and cost, and a saving of approximately $100,000 in repairs by the time the fire brigade arrived.
