About the Service

What is Hassantuk Fire Alarm Service & how does it work? What are the main elements of this service?

Hassantuk is a fire safety solution that monitors the homes within the UAE 24x7 for any fire related incident. The fire safety solution contains different types of sensors, which can detect smoke and heat. All the sensors are connected to the main alarm panel, which directly transmits the alarms in real time to Command & Control Center for verification. In the Command & Control Center the fire alarms are verified. In case the fire alarm is positive, it is immediately sent to relevant authorities within a maximum time of 120 seconds after receiving it, providing the authorities with situational intelligence and therefore making our cities safer. The main elements of the Fire Alarm Service are the following:

  • Alarm panel: the primary element, installed in each home, that connects and sends fire alarms to relevant authorities. The home users can also activate the alarms manually from the panel.
  • Sensors: Heat & Smoke sensors deployed in the different rooms of the home as per MoI guidelines. These sensors are connected with the alarm panel and detect any smoke or heat in the home, activating locally the alarm and sending it also to Command Center for verification.
  • Command & Control Center will receive in real time any fire alarm originated at any home and will apply the protocol to verify the alarm in a maximum time of 120 seconds. If the alarm is positive will be automatically transmitted to the relevant authorities. This Center will also receive any maintenance alarm and will act proactively solving it.
  • Portal: through which the customer can register and pay for the service, update home/contacts/location details, and receive notifications.
